The following is the flow direction and state change of the gas working medium in the process of storage and release:
in the energy storage process, electric energy is used for heating, and the electric energy is converted into heat energy through a heat pump heating system and stored. The heating loop compressor unit 2 is in transmission connection with the heating loop heat engine expanders at all levels, and the driving unit 1 is in driving connection with the heating loop compressor unit 2. The driving unit 1 consumes electric energy to drive the heating loop compressor unit 2 to compress the gas working medium at normal temperature and normal pressure to a high-temperature and high-pressure state. The high-temperature high-pressure gas working medium flows through the heat energy recovery heat exchanger 6 to release heat energy to a normal-temperature high-pressure state. The gas working medium with normal temperature and high pressure enters a multi-stage expander of each stage of heating loop to be expanded to a low temperature and normal pressure state. The gas working medium enters the corresponding first-stage cold energy discharging and radiating heat exchanger to discharge cold energy into the environment after being expanded by each first-stage heating loop expander, and then the gas working medium at normal temperature continuously flows into the next-stage heating loop expander to be expanded. The gas working medium flowing out of the last stage of cold energy exhausting heat exchanger returns to the normal temperature and normal pressure state again, and flows into the heating loop compressor unit 2 again for compression heating. And the electric energy is continuously converted into high-temperature heat energy to be stored after repeated circulation.

The high-temperature gas working medium flows into the high-temperature packed bed 11, exchanges heat with the solid particle heat storage material therein, and stores heat energy therein. The normal temperature gas working medium flowing out from the high temperature packed bed 11 is driven by the heat accumulating circulating fan 10 to enter the heat energy recovery heat exchanger 6 again to absorb heat energy.
In the energy storage process, cold energy is absorbed from the liquefied natural gas through the LNG cold energy recovery and storage system and stored. The low-temperature liquefied natural gas flows out of the liquefied natural gas storage tank 12 through the driving of the LNG pump 13, enters the LNG evaporator 14 to release cold energy, absorbs heat in the LNG evaporator 14 and evaporates to be in a compressed natural gas state (CNG), and flows into the compressed natural gas storage tank 15 along a pipeline to be stored.
At the same time, the cold accumulation circulating fan 16 is started to drive the normal-temperature gas working medium to flow into the LNG evaporator 14 to absorb cold energy to a low-temperature state, and the low-temperature gas working medium flows into the low-temperature packed bed 17 to exchange heat with the solid particle cold accumulation material therein, so that high-grade cold energy is stored therein.
When the system is in the electricity peak period, the system releases energy outwards.
The high-grade heat energy and cold energy stored in the energy storage stage are circularly converted into kinetic energy through a heat engine, and then are converted into electric energy through the power generation unit 20 to be released.
The gas working medium in the cold, heat and power generation loop flows through the low-temperature packed bed 17 to absorb the low-temperature cold energy therein to a low-temperature normal-pressure state, and the low-temperature normal-pressure gas working medium enters the compressor unit 18 to be compressed to a normal-temperature, medium/high-pressure state. The gas working medium with normal temperature and middle/high pressure flows through the high temperature packed bed 11 to absorb the high temperature heat energy therein to a high temperature and middle/high pressure state, and then flows into the expansion unit 19 to do expansion work. The expansion unit 19 is in transmission connection with the compressor unit 18, and the expansion unit 19 is in driving connection with the power generation unit 20. The expansion unit 19 drives the power generation unit 20 to generate power. The normal temperature and pressure gas after expansion enters the low temperature packed bed 17 again to absorb cold energy. And the cold and hot energy is continuously converted into electric energy to be released after the cycle is repeated.
Working medium selection:
the gas working media in the heat pump heating system, the heat storage loop, the cold and hot energy heat engine power generation loop and the hot side of the LNG evaporator 14 are one or more of argon, air, nitrogen and helium. The heat storage loop, the cold and hot energy heat engine power generation loop and the gas working medium on the hot side of the LNG evaporator 14 need to be the same. The gas working medium of the heat pump heating system may be different from the above-described circuit.
The flowing working medium at the cold side of the LNG evaporator 14 in the LNG cold energy recovery and storage system is natural gas.
