[0021] The output end of the high-pressure gas storage device 4 is communicated with a pressure stabilizing and preheating device 5, the pressure stabilizing and preheating device 5 is used for stabilizing the pressure of the high-pressure gas, so that the gas pressure is constant, and the stable power generation is further maintained, and the power generation fluctuation caused by the unstable gas pressure is avoided. The output end of the pressure stabilizing and preheating device 5 is communicated with an expander 6, the output end of the expander 6 is communicated with a main generator 7, the constant pressure gas in the pressure stabilizing and preheating device 5 drives the main generator 7 to rotate through the expander 6, so that the main generator 7 works and generates power.

[0022] The output end of the wind turbine 1 is also drivingly connected with an auxiliary generator 8, the auxiliary generator 8 is also drivingly connected with the wind turbine 1 through the speed changer 11, the output end of the auxiliary generator 8 is electrically connected with the magnetic speed controller 12 and the heat storage and heat exchanger 3, so as to maintain the system control power consumption, and the output end of the auxiliary generator 8 is also electrically connected with a battery 9.

[0023] The pressure stabilizing preheating device 5 comprises a pressure stabilizing tank 51, in which an air inlet adjusting valve 52, an air outlet adjusting valve 53 and a gravity piston 54 are installed, the gravity piston 54 can seal sliding in the pressure stabilizing tank 51, the air inlet adjusting valve 52 and the air outlet adjusting valve 53 are both arranged below the gravity piston 54, the lower surface of the gravity piston 54 is connected with the lower end of the valve core of the air inlet adjusting valve 52 through a pull rope 55, and the upper end of the valve core of the air outlet adjusting valve 53 is fixedly connected with a touch rod.

[0024] When the high-pressure gas is filled into the pressure stabilizing tank 51 through the air inlet adjusting valve 52, the gravity piston 54 will rise, and then the pull rope 55 will gradually pull the valve core of the air inlet adjusting valve 52 to move downwards, that is, the valve core is gradually closed, when the gravity piston 54 rises to a certain height, the valve core will be completely pulled to close, and at this time, the high-pressure gas will gradually stabilize in the pressure stabilizing tank 51, and the gravity valve core will gradually descend under the gravity, and the constant-pressure gas will be squeezed out from the air outlet adjusting valve 53 in the descending process, until the gravity piston 54 abuts against the touch rod, and the valve core of the air outlet adjusting valve 53 is pressed to close.

[0025] The air inlet of the air inlet adjusting valve 52 is communicated with the high-pressure gas storage device 4, and the air outlet of the air outlet adjusting valve 53 is communicated with the expander 6.

[0026] It should be noted that the air inlet end of the air inlet adjusting valve 52 is provided with a one-way valve to avoid gas backflow, and the air outlet adjusting valve 53 needs to close the valve core when the pressure stabilizing tank 51 is filled with gas.

[0027] The pressure stabilizing tank 51 is further rotationally connected with two variable wheel sets 56, the variable wheel set 56 comprises a large wheel and a small wheel which are integrally arranged and synchronously rotate, the lower surface of the gravity piston 54 is connected with the large wheel of one of the variable wheel sets 56 through the pull rope 55, that is, the rotation of the large wheel can adjust the length of the pull rope 55, and then the gravity piston 54 can move up and down.

[0028] The bottom of the pressure stabilizing tank is further provided with a preheating coil pipe 57, the input end of the preheating coil pipe 57 is communicated with the liquid outlet of the heat storage heat exchanger 3, that is, the heat stored in the heat storage heat exchanger 3 can be replaced into the heat exchange agent, and the heat exchange agent can bring the heat into the pressure stabilizing tank 51.

[0030] It should be noted that the air release valve 541 does not always release pressure, that is, it only releases pressure when the pressure in the pressure stabilizing tank 51 is higher than the constant pressure standard.

[0031] In summary, the utility model discloses a wind turbine 1 directly drives the compressor 2 to work, can realize the energy storage of wind energy into high-pressure gas, then by high-pressure gas utilizes the pressure stabilizing preheating device 5 and carries out pressure stabilizing preheating, makes the gas pressure of output constant, then by the gas of constant pressure drives the expander 6 and moves, and then drives the main generator 7 and carries out power generation, further solves the problem of unstable power generation, simultaneously, since the storage of high-pressure gas can be realized, and then the problem of delay power generation can be realized, since the power generation is stable and the high-pressure gas storage equipment 4, the abandoned wind phenomenon and the lost wind phenomenon can be better avoided, the wind energy conversion rate is higher, and the degree of electricity cost is lower.
