The invention discloses a
compressed air energy storage system started by a low-
power turbine and a control method, the
system comprises a main body module and a starting control module, and a compression unit of the main body module adopts a plurality of sections of independent gas compressors and corresponding driving motors to form a gas compression section group; the driving motor can be controlled to be switched among
cut-out, low-torque boosting and rated driving. The starting control module is provided with a starting gas storage container and a low-power starting
turbine, an output shaft of the starting
turbine applies pull-back torque to the target gas compression section set through an auxiliary power interface, and when the pull-back torque reaches a threshold value, the pull-back torque is seamlessly switched to be driven by the driving motor. The control method comprises the steps of starting condition detection, motor switching-out,
turbine driving starting, cooperative acceleration transition,
driving mode switching and the like, and soft starting and starting torque peak clipping are achieved. The
system has the advantages of being low in starting current, small in
mechanical impact, high in reliability, good in expandability and the like, and an efficient solution is provided for
engineering application of a high-power
compressed air energy storage system.
