It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
As shown in fig. 1, the energy efficiency improving apparatus of the low-pressure operating liquid air energy storage system of the present embodiment operates according to the following steps:
the low-pressure air liquefaction circulation loop works in the electricity consumption valley period: after the ambient air is purified, the ambient air enters the air/sensible heat cold storage material heat exchanger 300 for precooling; the precooled air is mixed with the gaseous air separated from the gas-liquid separator 103 and then enters the air compressor 101 for pressurization; the pressurized air at the outlet of the air compressor 101 is further cooled to low temperature through an air/phase change cold storage material heat exchanger 400, enters a low-temperature turbine 102 for expansion and pressure reduction, is separated through a gas-liquid separator 103 to obtain liquid air, and is stored in a liquid air storage tank 104; at the same time, liquid air supply device 105 will supply a certain amount of liquid air to liquid air storage tank 104; the liquid air make-up device 105 supplies an amount of liquid air to the liquid air storage tank 104 equal to the amount of gaseous air separated from the gas-liquid separator 102.
The liquid air supply 105 may be an air separation plant, a liquid product storage tank, or a gas condensing liquefaction plant.
During the peak period of power utilization, the low-pressure air power generation circulation loop works: liquid air at the outlet of the liquid air storage tank 104 is pressurized to a certain pressure by the cryogenic pump 201, and then sequentially enters the air/phase change cold storage material heat exchanger 400 and the air/sensible heat cold storage material heat exchanger 300 to release high-grade cold energy, and meanwhile, the phase change cold storage material in the air/phase change cold storage material heat exchanger 400 and the sensible heat cold storage material in the air/sensible heat cold storage material heat exchanger 300 store the high-grade cold energy in a grading manner; in the daytime, the heat-conducting fluid enters the solar heat collector 203 through the heat-conducting oil circulating pump 204 to store solar heat energy, and then enters the air/heat-conducting fluid heat exchanger 202 to heat pressurized air at the outlet of the air/phase-change cold-storage material heat exchanger 400; at night, the solar heat collector 203 cannot collect heat energy, the heat conducting oil circulating pump 204 stops working, and the temperature of air passing through the air/heat conducting fluid heat exchanger 202 is kept unchanged; the air at the outlet of the air/heat transfer fluid heat exchanger 202 enters the embedded heater 205, is further heated to a high temperature, and then enters the air turbine generator 206 to be expanded and generate power.
