Among them, the compressed air energy storage device generally has a compressed air energy storage process and a compressed air energy release process. In the compressed air energy storage process, cold water of a cold water tank is sent to an interstage heat exchanger of a compressor through a plurality of cold water pumps to absorb heat of air, so that the temperature of the air is reduced, the temperature of water is increased, and then hot water at an outlet of the interstage heat exchanger of the compressor is sent to a hot water tank to be stored for use in the air energy release process; in the compressed air energy release process, hot water of the hot water tank is pumped into an interstage heat exchanger of the expander through a plurality of hot water pumps, the heat of the water is released, the temperature of air is increased, the temperature of the water is reduced, and then cold water at the outlet of the interstage heat exchanger of the expander is pumped into a cold water tank for storage for use in the air energy storage process.
In order to save electricity, the cold water pump and the hot water pump generally adopt variable frequency centrifugal pumps, and the pump lift of the pumps can change along with the liquid level change of the cold water tank and the hot water tank.

The second sensor, the regulating valve 710 and the second controller cooperate to stabilize the gas path outlet temperature of the interstage heat exchanger 400a. It will be appreciated that the second controller is configured to send an electrical signal to the regulator valve 710 that is configured to vary the opening of the regulator valve 710 when the gas path outlet temperature value of the interstage heat exchanger 400a is not within the preset temperature threshold range.
The second sensor may be a temperature sensor, and the regulating valve 710 may be an electric valve or an electromagnetic valve. Wherein the second sensors and the regulating valves 710 are in one-to-one correspondence with the interstage heat exchanger 400a.

When a plurality of water pumps 300 are operated, if some water pumps 300 are damaged, other water pumps 300 can continue to operate without stopping.
Example 3
This embodiment provides a grid regulation system comprising a compressed air energy storage device as described above.
When the parameters of the on/off compressor or the power grid regulation system change, the operation states of the first and second medium tanks of the compressed air energy storage device and the compressor 410 or the expander 420 change, so that the water channel inlet pressure of the interstage heat exchanger 400a on the compressor fluctuates, at the moment, the first regulation module rapidly monitors the water pressure of the water separator 500 and correspondingly changes, and then the frequency of the water pump 300 is regulated according to the water pressure of the water separator 500 until the water pressure of the water separator 500 is maintained within the preset water pressure threshold range, namely, the water channel inlet pressure of the interstage heat exchanger 400a is stabilized, so that the operation stability performance of the whole compressed air energy storage device can be improved, and the operation requirement is met; in addition, the water separator 500 is arranged between the water pump 300 and all the interstage heat exchangers 400a, so that the medium conveyed by the water pump 300 can be distributed to all the interstage heat exchangers 400a, the number of the water pump 300 can be reduced, the investment cost of the compressed air energy storage device can be saved, and the failure rate of the compressed air energy storage device can be reduced.
