At the same time, the proportion of residential electricity and third industry electricity in power load continues to grow rapidly. Whether it is new energy power generation output or residential and third industry electricity load, both have strong intra-day volatility.

[0032] Specifically, the compressed air energy storage power generation system includes a compressed air energy storage subsystem 1, a high-temperature heat pump subsystem 2, and a thermal storage subsystem 3.

[0033] The compressed air energy storage subsystem 1 is provided with a compressor module and a compressor outlet heat exchanger module. The compressor module can compress gas, and according to the ideal gas state equation and the first law of thermodynamics, when the outside does work on the gas to compress it, the internal energy of the gas increases, which can increase the temperature of the high-pressure gas. The compressor outlet heat exchanger module is internally provided with alternating gas channels and heat pump medium channels. When different media flow through the gas channels and heat pump medium channels of the compressor outlet heat exchanger module, heat exchange can be achieved due to the temperature difference between the different media. In the present embodiment, the inlet of the compressor module is in communication with the external environment, and air in the external environment can be input.

During the heat storage period, the compressor module starts operation, absorbs air in the external environment and compresses, and the external environment gas flows through the gas channel of the compressor outlet heat exchanger module after being heated. In the high-temperature heat pump subsystem 2, the heat pump medium flows out from the outlet of the heat pump medium channel of the heater 2.4, is expanded by the heat pump expander 2.1, and then flows through the heat pump medium channel of the compressor outlet heat exchanger module. In the compressor outlet heat exchanger module, the heat pump medium and the high-temperature and high-pressure gas exchange heat, the heat pump medium absorbs the heat of the high-temperature and high-pressure gas to realize the first temperature rise, and then the heat pump medium flows through the heat pump compressor 2.2 again, and the temperature rises again after being compressed by the heat pump compressor 2.2 to realize the second temperature rise. Finally, the heat pump medium flows back to the heat pump medium channel of the heater 2.4, and in the heater 2.4, the high-temperature heat pump medium and the low-temperature heat storage medium exchange heat, the heat storage medium absorbs heat to rise in temperature, and the high-temperature heat pump medium decreases in temperature and flows into the heat pump expander 2.1 again to perform the next cycle.

[0038] That is, in this embodiment, during the heat storage period, the cold molten salt pump 3.4 can enable the low-temperature heat storage medium in the low-temperature heat storage tank 3.2 to flow through the heat storage medium passage of the heater 2.4, the low-temperature heat storage medium is heated and stored in the high-temperature heat storage tank 3.1 after heat exchange with the high-temperature heat pump medium, realizing the migration and storage of heat, and during the energy release period, the hot molten salt pump 3.3 can enable the high-temperature heat storage medium in the high-temperature heat storage tank 3.1 to flow out, and the high-temperature heat storage medium is again stored in the low-temperature heat storage tank 3.2 after direct or indirect heat exchange.

[0039] Specifically, the compressed air energy storage subsystem 1 is further provided with an expander module and an expander inlet heat exchanger module. The expander module can utilize high-temperature and high-pressure gas to realize energy conversion by expansion work, that is, when the high-temperature and high-pressure gas enters the expander, the volume expands due to the decrease of gas pressure, and the mechanical energy generated in this process can drive the rotor or other moving parts inside the expander module to rotate, thereby converting the pressure energy of the fluid into mechanical energy or electrical energy. The expander inlet heat exchanger module is internally provided with interactive gas channels and heat storage medium channels. When different media flow through the gas channels and the heat storage medium channels of the expander inlet heat exchanger module, heat exchange function can be realized due to the temperature difference between different media. In this embodiment, the gas channel inlet of the expander inlet heat exchanger module is communicated with the gas channel outlet of the compressor outlet heat exchanger module, the gas channel outlet of the expander inlet heat exchanger module is communicated with the inlet of the expander module, and the outlet of the expander module is communicated with the external environment. Moreover, the heat storage medium channel inlet of the expander inlet heat exchanger module is communicated with the outlet of the high-temperature heat storage tank 3.1, and the heat storage medium channel outlet of the expander inlet heat exchanger module is communicated with the inlet of the low-temperature heat storage tank 3.2.

[0041] In summary, the present embodiment provides a compressed air energy storage power generation system coupled with a high-temperature heat pump, which realizes efficient conversion of electric energy-thermal energy-electric energy during the energy storage period and the heat release period through the cooperation of the compressed air energy storage subsystem 1, the high-temperature heat pump subsystem 2 and the heat storage subsystem 3, and realizes stable, controllable and real-time output of electric energy.

Figure 1For example, in the embodiment, three sets of expander sub-units 1.3 and three sets of expander inlet heat exchanger sub-units 1.4 are provided. When the high-pressure gas is heat-absorbed in the first set of expander inlet heat exchanger sub-units 1.4, and the first set of expanders is driven to work, the gas after being cooled and slightly reduced in pressure can be further heat-absorbed in the second set of expander inlet heat exchanger sub-units 1.4, and the second set of expanders is further driven to work.
