Referring to fig. 1, an energy storage system 10, for example, a carbon dioxide energy storage system, based on a gas-liquid phase change of a working medium according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a gas reservoir 11, a storage assembly, a reservoir 13 and an eductor 15. The energy storage component comprises a compression energy storage part 12a and a working medium condenser 12b, an outlet of the gas storage 11 is connected with a working medium inlet 1201 of the compression energy storage part 12a, a working medium outlet 1202 of the compression energy storage part 12a is connected with a first inlet (or called working fluid inlet) of the ejector 15, the gas storage 11 is connected with a second inlet (or called injection fluid inlet) of the ejector 15 through a first pipeline, an outlet of the ejector 15 is connected with an inlet of the working medium condenser 12b, and an outlet of the working medium condenser 12b is connected with an inlet of the liquid storage tank 13.
In some possible implementations, the gas reservoir 11 is a double-layered membrane structure including a mulching film, an inner membrane, and an outer membrane; the outer membrane is used for resisting wind and snow, an interlayer cavity is arranged between the inner membrane and the outer membrane, the outer membrane is upwards supported by gas in the interlayer cavity to keep the appearance, the gas storage 11 is not easy to collapse, the inner membrane and the mulching film form a containing cavity for storing gaseous carbon dioxide, and the pressure and the temperature in the inner membrane can be maintained within a certain range to meet the energy storage requirement. Illustratively, the pressure of the gaseous carbon dioxide within the gas reservoir 11 may be near ambient pressure, i.e., the surrounding atmospheric pressure. In some embodiments, the temperature within the gas reservoir 11 is in the range of-40 ℃ to 70 ℃, illustratively-40 ℃, 0 ℃, 15 ℃, 20 ℃, 25 ℃, 30 ℃, 35 ℃, 40 ℃, 50 ℃, 60 ℃, 70 ℃, etc., and the pressure difference between the gas pressure within the gas reservoir 11 and the outside atmosphere is less than 1000Pa.
The pressure of the liquid carbon dioxide in the liquid storage tank 13 is between 2MPa and 10MPa, and is exemplified as 2MPa, 5MPa, 6MPa, 7MPa, 7.2MPa, 7.5MPa, 8MPa, 10MPa, etc. are optional.
Alternatively, the liquid carbon dioxide in the reservoir 13 may not exceed 50 ℃, in particular not exceed 30 ℃, for example between 20 ℃ and 30 ℃. Illustratively, the temperature of the liquid carbon dioxide flowing into the liquid storage tank 13 is 20-30 ℃ such that the temperature of the liquid carbon dioxide in the liquid storage tank 13 does not exceed 30 ℃.
Illustratively, the temperature of the liquid carbon dioxide in the liquid storage tank 13 is 20-30 ℃ and the pressure is between 7-7.5 MPa. In this way, potential safety hazards caused by accidental rising and pressure increase of liquid carbon dioxide in the liquid storage tank 13 can be avoided, so that the carbon dioxide energy storage system disclosed by the invention is more suitable for being deployed in places with dense personnel, such as residential areas, schools, hospitals, stations, commercial centers and the like.
The liquid storage tank 13 is used, for example, to store a liquid working medium or a gas-liquid mixed working medium such as liquid carbon dioxide or gas-liquid mixed carbon dioxide in a high-pressure state. The gas storage 11 is for example used for storing gaseous working medium such as gaseous carbon dioxide in a normal pressure state, and may be a gas film gas storage, the volume of which can be changed, when carbon dioxide is filled, the volume of the gas film gas storage increases, and when carbon dioxide flows out, the volume of the gas film gas storage decreases, so as to realize the constant pressure in the gas film gas storage. The gaseous working medium flowing out of the gas storage 11 is converted into a liquid working medium with pressure through the energy storage component, and finally flows into the liquid storage tank 13, and energy storage is completed in the process. The compression energy storage part 12a is used for compressing the low-pressure working medium of the gas storage 11 into a high-pressure working medium. Here, "low pressure" and "high pressure" are in a state opposite to each other, that is, the pressure of the working medium compressed by the compression accumulator 12a is higher than the pressure of the working medium stored in the gas reservoir 11. The ejector 15 mixes the low-pressure working medium from the gas storage 11 and the high-pressure working medium compressed by the compression energy storage 12a to generate a working medium with adjustable energy storage pressure, and the working medium is condensed into a liquid state by the working medium condenser 12b and is delivered to the liquid storage tank 13.
According to the energy storage system 10 based on the working medium gas-liquid phase change, the ejector 15 is arranged, high-pressure working medium (such as carbon dioxide) and low-pressure working medium (such as carbon dioxide) can be mixed by the ejector 15, the compressor in the compression energy storage part always operates under the design working condition, the mass flow of the output high-pressure fluid is kept unchanged, the energy storage pressure can be regulated through the mass flow of the low-pressure fluid, the compressor in the compression energy storage part can be ensured to always operate under the design working condition, and the safety and stability of the unit are improved.
Referring to fig. 2, in some embodiments, working substance outlet 1202 of compression accumulator 12a is connected to the inlet of working substance condenser 12b by a second conduit. By arranging the second pipeline, the requirement that the energy storage pressure required by a user is equal to the design energy storage pressure can be met, so that working media from the gas storage can be mixed without the ejector 15 in the energy storage process, are compressed into high-pressure working media by the compressed energy storage part 12a, and the pressure loss caused by the ejector 15 can be reduced, so that the higher energy storage pressure of the energy storage system 10 can be reserved.
With continued reference to fig. 2, control valves may be provided on the respective lines to effect adjustment of the mixing ratio of the working medium. For example, a first control valve 16 is provided on the first conduit. The magnitude of the flow rate of the low-pressure working medium sucked by the ejector 15 can be controlled by adjusting the opening degree of the first control valve 16. The opening degree of the first control valve 16 becomes large, the flow amount of the low-pressure working medium inhalable by the ejector 15 becomes large, and the achievable storage pressure becomes small. The opening degree of the first control valve 16 becomes smaller, the flow rate of the low-pressure working medium sucked by the ejector 15 becomes smaller, and the achievable storage pressure becomes larger. Therefore, the first control valve 16 can control the ratio of high-pressure fluid to low-pressure fluid, so that the control of the pressure of the mixed fluid at the outlet of the ejector 15 is realized, the different energy storage pressure requirements of the system are met, and the application range of the system is enlarged.
For example, a third control valve 120b is disposed on a connecting pipeline between the working medium outlet 1202 of the energy storage compression portion 12a and the first inlet of the ejector 15, so as to control the flow rate of the high-pressure working medium flowing through the ejector 15 within a design flow rate range, and ensure that the mass flow rate of the high-pressure fluid output by the energy storage compression portion 12a is kept unchanged, so that the compressor always operates under the design working condition. When the second pipeline is provided, the third control valve 120b and the first control valve 16 can be completely closed, so that the high-pressure working medium can flow to the working medium condenser 12b through the second pipeline completely, the low-pressure working medium is not mixed, and the available energy storage pressure reaches the design energy storage pressure.
For example, a second control valve 120a is provided in the second pipe. The second control valve 120a is opened (the third control valve 120b and the first control valve 16 are closed), and the flow rate of the working medium flowing through the compression energy storage portion 12a is controlled within the design flow rate range, so that the working medium entering the working medium condenser 12b is the high-pressure working medium compressed by the compression energy storage portion 12a, and the available energy storage pressure at this time is the design pressure. Closing the second control valve 120a (opening the third control valve 120b and adjusting the first control valve 16), the working fluid entering the working fluid condenser 12b is the working fluid with adjustable pressure after being mixed by the ejector 15, and the available storage pressure is lower than the design pressure. The stored energy pressure may be selected between a design pressure and below the design pressure.
In some embodiments, one or more of the first control valve 16, the second control valve 120a, and the third control valve 120b may be selectively set according to actual requirements, for example, when the second pipe is provided, the stored energy pressure may be selected to be the design pressure or lower than the design pressure by opening and closing the second control valve 120a, for example, when the second pipe is not provided, and no second control valve 120a is provided, and the available stored energy pressure is lower than the design pressure. The opening degree of the first control valve 16 is adjustable. For example, when the stored energy pressure required by the user is lower than the design stored energy pressure, the second control valve 120a may be closed and the third control valve 120b may be opened; the high-low pressure fluid mixing ratio is adjusted by adjusting the opening degree of the first control valve 16. Conversely, when the desired accumulator pressure is equal to the design accumulator pressure, the first control valve 16, the third control valve 120b, and the second control valve 120a may be closed.

Furthermore, the energy storage system 10 further comprises a heat exchange assembly 17, and the heat exchange assembly 17 comprises a cold storage tank 171 and a heat storage tank 173. The heat storage tanks 171 and 173 are used for containing a heat storage medium, such as heat transfer oil, molten salt, or saturated water. The working substance evaporator 14a is used for evaporating the liquid working substance and converting the liquid working substance into a gaseous working substance.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, a cold storage tank 171 and a heat storage tank 173 are disposed between the compression energy storage portion 12a and the expansion energy release portion 14a to form a heat exchange circuit between the compression energy storage portion 12a and the expansion energy release portion 14 a. During the process of energy storage and release, the heat storage medium circularly flows between the energy storage cold tank 171 and the heat storage tank 173, so that temporary storage and release of energy are realized. Specifically, the energy is temporarily stored in the heat storage medium in the form of heat. During the energy storage process, the low-temperature heat storage medium flows from the cold storage tank 171 to the compression energy storage portion 12a, and absorbs heat in the compressed high-temperature working medium to raise the temperature of the heat storage medium. The warmed high-temperature heat storage medium flows to the heat storage tank 173, and the heat is temporarily stored in the heat storage tank 173. When energy is released, the high-temperature heat storage medium flows from the heat storage tank 173 to the expansion energy release portion 14a, and transfers heat to the working medium flowing through the expansion energy release portion 14a, so that the temperature thereof is increased. After the heat exchange is completed, the temperature of the heat storage medium is lowered, and the cooled heat storage medium flows to the cold storage tank 171.

And whether the waste heat of the heat storage medium is utilized or not is selected through the two control valves, so that the energy storage system is more flexible to operate.
In some embodiments, the outlet of the orc subsystem 18 is connected to a cooler to achieve further cooling of the thermal storage medium. The cooled heat storage medium flows to the energy storage component to absorb heat sufficiently to generate power by the next organic Rankine cycle. Further, the outlet of the orc subsystem 18 may also be re-connected to the inlet of the cold storage tank 171 through a chiller or directly connected to the inlet of the cold storage tank 171.

Specifically, the normal temperature and pressure carbon dioxide flowing out of the gas storage 11 is divided into two paths, one path enters the ejector 15 through the first control valve 16, the other path enters the compressor 121 after absorbing heat and heating through the preheater 19, electric power drives the compressor 121 to compress the carbon dioxide through the motor, the carbon dioxide enters the energy storage heat exchanger 122 to exchange heat and cool down, heat is transferred to a part of low-temperature heat storage medium flowing out of the cold storage tank 171, cooled medium-pressure carbon dioxide enters the compressor 123, electric power drives the compressor 123 to compress the carbon dioxide to the designed energy storage pressure through the motor, high-temperature and high-pressure carbon dioxide subsequently enters the energy storage heat exchanger 124 to exchange heat and cool down, heat is transferred to the rest low-temperature heat storage medium flowing out of the cold storage tank 171, cooled high-pressure carbon dioxide enters the ejector 15 to be mixed with normal pressure carbon dioxide and then injected, all carbon dioxide flows into the working medium condenser 12b to be condensed into liquid state and then stored in the liquid storage tank 13. The heat storage mediums which are subjected to heat absorption and temperature rise through the two energy storage heat exchangers 122 and 124 are mixed and stored in the heat storage tank 173 together. Thus, the compression, storage and heat storage of the working medium are completed.
Preferably, the opening degree of the first control valve 16 can be adjusted to control the proportion of the high-pressure carbon dioxide fluid and the low-pressure carbon dioxide fluid, so that the flexible adjustment of the energy storage pressure of the system is realized.
When the user is at the peak of electricity consumption, the eighth control valve 20, the sixth control valve 172, the first control valve 16, the second control valve 120a and the third control valve 120b are closed, the fifth control valve 140, the seventh control valve 174 and the fourth control valve 188 are opened, and the energy release portion of the energy storage system 10 is operated. Specifically, the liquid carbon dioxide in the liquid storage tank 13 enters the working medium evaporator 14b to absorb heat and evaporate into saturated gas, then enters the energy release heat exchanger 141 to exchange heat with part of the heat storage medium flowing out of the heat storage tank 173, and the high-temperature and high-pressure carbon dioxide enters the turbine 142 to expand and do work and drive the generator to generate electricity. The expanded medium-temperature and medium-pressure carbon dioxide enters the energy release heat exchanger 143 to exchange heat with the rest part of heat storage medium flowing out of the heat storage tank 173, and the high-temperature and medium-pressure carbon dioxide enters the turbine 144 to continuously expand and work to normal pressure, and drives the generator to generate electricity. Finally, the atmospheric carbon dioxide enters the first organic working medium evaporator 185, exchanges heat and cools to normal temperature and pressure, and is stored in the gas storage 11. One path of heat storage medium flowing out of the heat storage tank 173 is subjected to heat release and temperature reduction through the energy release heat exchanger 143, enters the second organic working medium evaporator 187 to continuously release heat and temperature reduction, is mixed with the other path of heat storage medium subjected to heat release and temperature reduction through the energy release heat exchanger 141, and enters the cold storage tank 171 for storage. Thus, the expansion work of carbon dioxide and the heat release are completed. It can be understood that after the heat storage medium flowing out from the heat storage tank 173 is released and cooled by the energy release heat exchanger 141, the heat storage medium enters the second organic working medium evaporator 187 to continuously release and cool, and then is mixed with the heat storage medium released and cooled by the energy release heat exchanger 143, and enters the cold storage tank 171 for storage. Or, after the heat storage medium flowing out of the heat storage tank 173 is respectively cooled by heat release through the energy release heat exchanger 143, the heat storage medium enters the second organic working medium evaporator 187 to continuously cool by heat release, and then enters the cold storage tank 171 for storage.
The two-stage organic Rankine cycle subsystem and the energy release part work simultaneously: after being compressed by a first organic working medium pump 184, part of the organic working medium enters a first organic working medium evaporator 185, absorbs the carbon dioxide heat at normal pressure and medium temperature to evaporate into a gaseous state, and after being recompressed by a second organic working medium pump 186, enters the second organic working medium evaporator 187, absorbs the heat of a medium temperature heat storage medium to evaporate into a gaseous state, and enters the second organic working medium expander 182 for expanding and working into a medium temperature and medium pressure gaseous state organic working medium to drive a generator to generate power, and then is mixed with the medium temperature and medium pressure gaseous state organic working medium at the outlet of the first organic working medium evaporator 185, and then enters the first organic working medium expander 181 together to continuously expand and work into a low temperature and low pressure organic working medium to drive the generator to generate power; finally, the low-temperature low-pressure gaseous organic working medium enters the organic working medium condenser 183 to be subjected to exothermic condensation into a liquid state, so that circulation and additional power output are completed. Because the temperature of the heat source (heat storage medium) flowing into the second organic working medium evaporator 187 is higher than the temperature of the heat source (carbon dioxide) flowing into the first organic working medium evaporator 185, the liquid organic working medium is converted into organic working medium with different pressure energy by the first organic working medium pump 184 and the second organic working medium pump 186 so as to absorb the heat of the heat storage medium and the carbon dioxide with different temperatures, and the first organic working medium expander 181 and the second organic working medium expander 182 expand and do work to generate electricity, so that the different pressure energy of the organic working medium is maximally converted into electric energy to be output.
Preferably, as shown in fig. 11, the opening of the fourth control valve 188 can be controlled according to the flow rate and the temperature of the carbon dioxide at the outlet of the turbine 144 and the flow rate and the temperature of the heat storage medium at the hot side outlet of the energy release heat exchanger 143, so as to adjust the proportion of the organic working medium entering the first organic working medium evaporator 185 and the second organic working medium evaporator 187, thereby realizing the full utilization of the waste heat of the carbon dioxide and the heat storage medium.
From the above, the control method of the embodiment of the present invention may be implemented: the energy is stored by using the low-valley power when the electricity is used in the low-valley, and the energy release is completed when the electricity is used in the peak, so that the energy storage efficiency is higher.
