摘要

压缩空气储能技术是可再生能源发展的重要技术。该技术的主要优势是储能容量大和环境友好。主要的挑战之一是储能密度低，需要天然的洞穴来储存空气。提高压缩空气储能的压力能够有效的提高储能密度。由于液体活塞式空气压缩机易于实现高压压缩，并且高效的换热能够大幅度降低气体压缩过程中的能耗，本文提出了一种通过使用多管束并联的压缩腔来增加表面积和换热量的近等温压缩方法，利用液体驱动空气压缩得到高压气体。在保持压缩腔横截面积不变的前提下，减小管道直径，增加并联管道的数量，实现压缩比为6.25:1的空气压缩，得到5MPa的高压气体。分析了不同管数条件下系统的性能。当使用1000根管、压缩和膨胀时间一分钟时，系统的压缩效率和膨胀效率可以分别达到93.0%和92.9%。本文提供了一种高效的高压压缩空气储能新方法。

Abstract

Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is an important technology in the development of renewable energy. The main advantages of CAES are its high energy capacity and environmental friendliness. One of the main challenges is its low energy density, meaning a natural cavern is required for air storage. High-pressure air compression can effectively solve the problem. A liquid piston gas compressor facilitates high-pressure compression, and efficient convective heat transfer can significantly reduce the compression energy consumption during air compression. In this paper, a near isothermal compression method is proposed to increase the surface area and heat exchange by using multiple tube bundles in parallel in the compression chamber in order to obtain high-pressure air using liquid-driven compression. Air compression with a compression ratio of 6.25:1 is achieved by reducing the tube diameter and increasing the parallel tube number while keeping the compression chamber cross-sectional area constant in order to obtain a high-pressure air of 5 MPa. The performances of this system are analyzed when different numbers of tubes are applied. A system compression efficiency of 93.0% and an expansion efficiency of 92.9% can be achieved when 1000 tubes are applied at a 1 minute period. A new approach is provided in this study to achieve high efficiency and high pressure compressed air energy storage.
