Description

CA Application CPST Ref: 40321/00001 INERTIA-BASED ENERGY STORAGE METHOD
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present disclosure pertains to the technical field of energy storage, and relates to an inertia-based energy storage method.
BACKGROUND
Inertia-based energy storage uses the kinetic energy of an object in motion to store energy. At present, the method of inertia-based energy storage is to store energy mainly by driving a flywheel to rotate at a high speed, and the basic principle thereof is that the flywheel is driven to rotate by an electric motor mechanically coupled with the flywheel, and electrical energy is converted into rotational kinetic energy of the flywheel for storage. When it is necessary to release the energy, a generator mechanically coupled to the flywheel is driven by the flywheel rotating at the high speed to generate electricity, and the kinetic energy stored in the flywheel is converted into electrical energy for output. Acceleration and deceleration of the flywheel enables the storage and utilization of energy. However, inertia-based energy storage using a flywheel has such a disadvantage that, because the flywheel is formed as a solid structure, the flywheel does not have the function of regulating the fluid pressure during either energy storage or energy release.

In the process that the energy conversion mechanism is ejected downward, the energy conversion mechanism pushes the lifting mechanism 25 via the post rod 57 to move downward and an acceleration is generated, so that the fluid within the accommodating cavity is accelerated, at this time, the pinion 55 is forced to rotate reversely, and the hydraulic oil in the second hydraulic motor 53 is discharged into the second low pressure vessel 36 through the fourth pipeline 31 and the reversing valve 33.
After the piston rod of the first energy storage oil cylinder 3 is moved downward to the bottom dead center, the piston rod is separated from the first cylinder 6, at the same time, the second cylinder 13 collides and comes in contact with the piston rod of the second energy storage oil cylinder 28. The energy conversion mechanism continues to move downward due to inertia, and pushes the piston rod of the second energy storage oil cylinder 28 to move to the CPST Doc: 349403.1 Date Recue/Date Received 2021-04-14 CA Application CPST Ref: 40321/00001 interior of the second energy storage oil cylinder 28, so that the hydraulic oil in the second energy storage oil cylinder 28 is pressed into the second high pressure vessel 20 through the third check valve 27 and the second pipeline 26, in this process, the fourth check valve 29 is in a closed state. In the process that the hydraulic oil in the second energy storage oil cylinder 28 is pressed into the second high pressure vessel 20, the energy conversion mechanism is decelerated by the air pressure in the second high pressure vessel 20, so that the fluid within the accommodating cavity is decelerated again after being accelerated. While the fluid within the accommodating cavity is being decelerated, since the hydraulic oil in the second energy storage oil cylinder 28 is pressed into the second high pressure vessel 20 due to the inertia of the energy conversion mechanism and the pressure in the second high pressure vessel 20 is increased, the deceleration kinetic energy of the fluid is recovered by the second high pressure vessel 20 during the deceleration of this fluid within the accommodating cavity.
In the downward acceleration or deceleration of the energy conversion mechanism, the pressure at the lower end of the fluid within the accommodating cavity (i.e., the pressure in the second cylinder 13) changes under the acceleration of the fluid depending on the rate of change in velocity and the state of motion of the fluid. Therefore, in the process of acceleration or deceleration of the fluid, the pressure at the lower end of the fluid changes from the first pressure to the second pressure.
After the pressure at the lower end of the fluid within the accommodating cavity changes from the first pressure to the second pressure, if the first pressure is lower than the second pressure, the pressure energy generated in the fluid under the second pressure is extracted.
Specifically, if the acceleration of the energy conversion mechanism during downward acceleration is greater than 1 g (gravitational acceleration), and the negative acceleration thereof during downward deceleration is also greater than 1 g, in the process of downward acceleration of the energy conversion mechanism, the pressure of the fluid within the second cylinder 13 is lower than the pressure of the fluid within the first cylinder 6 due to the acceleration. At this time, the fluid pushes the first piston 7 and the second piston 46 away from each other. The first piston 7 pushes the upper end of first rocker 9 to move away from the second piston 46 during the movement thereof Since the first rocker 9 passes through the first mounting hole on the first pillar 11, according to the lever principle, the first pillar 11 rotates about its own axis, and the lower end of the first rocker 9 brings the second CPST Doc: 349403.1 Date Recue/Date Received 2021-04-14 CA Application CPST Ref: 40321/00001 transmission member 41 to move towards the first transmission member 40.
Similarly, the second piston 46 pushes the upper end of second rocker 45 to move away from the first piston 7 during the movement thereof Since the second rocker 45 passes through the second mounting hole on the second pillar 43, according to the lever principle, the second pillar 43 rotates about its own axis, and the lower end of the second rocker 45 brings the first transmission member 40 to move towards the second transmission member 41, as shown in FIG. 6. In the process that the first transmission member 40 and the second transmission member 41 move towards each other, the volumes of the third cylinder 15 and the fourth cylinder 38 are increase to generate a suction force which sucks the hydraulic oil in the first low pressure vessel 32 into the low pressure hose 12.The hydraulic oil flowing into the low pressure hose 12 is divided into two paths, one of which flows through the first check valve 14 into the third cylinder 15, and the other flows through the sixth check valve 39 into the fourth cylinder 38, and in this process, the second check valve 17 and the fifth check valve 37 are closed.
In the process of downward deceleration of the energy conversion mechanism, the pressure of the fluid within the second cylinder 13 is higher than the pressure of the fluid within the first cylinder 6 due to the overweight effect. At this time, the fluid pushes the first transmission member 40 and the second transmission member 41 away from each other, the hydraulic oil in the third cylinder 15 and the hydraulic oil in the fourth cylinder 38 enter into the high pressure hose 19 through the second check valve 17 and the fifth check valve 37, respectively. At this time, the first check valve 14 and the sixth check valve 39 are closed, and the hydraulic oil entering the high pressure hose 19 is pressed into the second high pressure vessel 20 under pressure.
During or after the varying-speed motion of the fluid, at least the recovered deceleration kinetic energy of the fluid or at least the extracted pressure energy of the fluid is converted into electrical energy by an electricity generation device, and the electrical energy is transmitted to an electricity consuming terminal through an electricity transmission device.
As shown in FIG. 7, specifically, the hydraulic oil in the high pressure hose 19 is pressed into the second high pressure vessel 20 under pressure, and meanwhile the hydraulic oil in the second energy storage oil cylinder 28 is also pressed into the second high pressure vessel 20.
Thereafter, the hydraulic oil in the second high pressure vessel 20 is driven by the air pressure CPST Doc: 349403.1 Date Recue/Date Received 2021-04-14 CA Application CPST Ref: 40321/00001 in the second high pressure vessel 20 to flow into the first low pressure vessel 32 through the first hydraulic motor 22 and the first pipeline 23. In the process that the hydraulic oil in the second high pressure vessel 20 flows into the first low pressure vessel 32, the pressure of the hydraulic oil drives the first hydraulic motor 22 to rotate, and the first hydraulic rotor 22 drives the alternating-current generator 21 to generate electricity, and the electrical energy generated by the alternating-current generator 21 is transmitted to an electricity consuming terminal through an electricity transmission system.
