Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and a system for energy storing and short-term power generation.
- Quick short-term high capacity power generation is usually needed for back-up or peak load power supply.
- the eager target of the European Renewable Directive is that by 2020 20% of energy is produced from renewable sources. This means renewable power capacity of about 220 GW. About 80% of this capacity is estimated to be coming from variable and less predictable sources, such as onshore and offshore wind power or solar systems. In longer term this trend is expected to continue. This means that the total energy generation will be highly variable, leading to increased price volatility of electricity.
- the system will be strongly dependent on weather conditions, particularly in the Central and Northern Europe, where cloudy and windless weather conditions often dominate during winter. Without proper energy storages this will lead to a situation where the European electricity system needs substantially more than 100 GW quick short-term and longer-term back-up power available all the time. Old coal-fired power plants can be taken into service after certain period of time, in practice within several hours.
- the transportation network has to collect liquid CO 2 from various sources to an intermediate storage before shipping.
- the intermediate storage must be of quite a large volume, whereby in most cases steel tanks and other on-the-ground solutions tend to become highly expensive.
- One of the best alternatives is then to base the storage in the bedrock at a depth where hydrostatic pressure will minimize the energy needed for keeping the storage conditions at a suitable pressure and temperature.
- US 2012/0001429 A1 discloses a carbon dioxide-based geothermal energy generation system comprising a reservoir located below a caprock, one or more injection wells for feeding cold CO 2 into the reservoir, and one or more production wells for discharging heated CO 2 from the reservoir.
- An energy converting apparatus is connected to each injection well and to each production well so that thermal energy contained in the heated CO 2 can be converted to electricity, heat, or combinations thereof.
- Compressed CO 2 at a pressure of 30 - 70 bar and a temperature below 30°C is injected to the underground reservoir, and heated CO 2 with a temperature greater than 30°C is drawn off the reservoir.
- the system is quite complicated and high pressure is needed in the underground reservoir. The system cannot be considered feasible for peak load operation because of its high nominal investment cost. Also the operational risks are high because of high medium pressure and uncontrolled evaporation of CO 2 in the underground reservoir.
- EP 277777 A2 discloses a system for storing electrical energy in the form of triple-point CO 2 and then using such stored energy plus heat to generate electrical power.
- a reservoir for liquid CO 2 at about the triple point is created in an insulated vessel. Liquid CO 2 is withdrawn and pumped to a high pressure, which high pressure CO 2 is then heated and expanded to create rotary power which generates electrical power.
- the discharge stream from the expander is cooled and returned to the vessel where CO 2 vapor is condensed by melting solid CO 2 .
- a fuel-fired gas turbine connected to an electrical power generator is used to heat the high pressure CO 2 .
- the size of an overground CO 2 reservoir is limited. The investment cost is high. Certain operational risks prevail when acting with a triple point medium.
- US 4995234 discloses a method for generating power from liquefied natural gas (LNG) and storing energy.
- Cold LNG is pressurized, vaporized by removing heat from CO 2 at about triple point temperature, further heated, and finally expanded to create rotary power.
- a reservoir of CO 2 at about its triple point is created in an insulated vessel to store energy in the form of refrigeration recovered from the evaporated LNG.
- liquid CO 2 is withdrawn from the reservoir, pumped to a high pressure, vaporized, further heated, and expanded to create rotary power which generates additional electrical power.
- CO 2 vapor is withdrawn from the reservoir and condensed to liquid by vaporizing LNG.
- the size of an overground CO 2 reservoir is limited.
- a fuel-fired gas turbine is needed in the system. The investment cost is high. Certain operational risks prevail when acting with a triple point medium.
- the object of the present invention is to eliminate the problems of the prior art and to provide an improved method and system for energy storing and short-term power generation.
- Another object is to improve the feasibility of carbon capture and storage (CCS) solutions.
- CCS carbon capture and storage
- a further object is to create a system that enables the use of low value heat sources and reduces the use of fossil fuels.
- the invention employs an intermediate storage of a CCS system as storage for working fluid used in short-term power generation system that uses CO 2 based Rankine cycle and heat pump in turns.
- the invention provides a method for energy storing and short-term power generation, comprising the steps of:
- the first temperature i.e., the temperature of fresh CO 2 supplied to the underground reservoir
- the second temperature i.e. the temperature of CO 2 returning from the Rankine cycle, can be -15°C ... -25°C, preferably about -20°C.
- the underground reservoir is located in the bedrock at a depth of 200 - 300 m.
- the volume of the underground reservoir is preferably over 50 000 m 3 , for instance in the range of 50 000 - 150 000 m 3 .
- underground reservoir refers to geological formations beneath the surface of the earth, irrespective of whether they are underground or undersea.
- the pressurized liquid CO 2 can be evaporated with the help of sea water, atmospheric air, industrial waste heat, etc.
- the invention also provides a system for energy storing and short-term power generation, comprising:
- the system can also comprise means for releasing expanded CO 2 to the atmosphere when extreme short-term power generation is needed.
- the invention improves the overall economy of Carbon Capture and Storage solutions.
- CCS is just an expense for power generation systems, which delays the implementation of CCS throughout Europe.
- the capacity of the new system is estimated to be about 200 MW during 4 hours. If instead of sea water excess heat from a CHP system can be used for the evaporation, the capacity of the system is estimated to be up to 300 MW during 4 hours.
- the total storage efficiency is in both cases 70 - 80%, or even more.
- the additional cost of the proposed CO 2 based Rankine cycle and heat pump system comprises the cost of additional components, such as an evaporator, an expander turbine and a condenser. These costs are minor compared to the costs of many other back-up power devices, such as gas turbines or diesel generators. Furthermore, the relative size of the components of the new system is definitely smaller than the size of components in hydroelectric systems, or even gas turbines.
- the use of carbon dioxide as the working fluid in a Rankine cycle enables the use of low temperature solutions, which leads into smaller component sizes.
- Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic illustration of a short-term power generation system according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 schematically illustrates a system according to the invention.
- a short-term high capacity power generation cycle employing Rankine cycle comprises an underground reservoir 10 for storage of liquid CO 2 , a pump 11 for pressurizing liquid CO 2 withdrawn from the underground reservoir 10, an evaporator 12 for evaporating the pressurized CO 2 , an expander turbine 13 for expanding the evaporated CO 2 , a generator 14 for converting rotary power to electricity, and a condenser 15 for condensing the expanded CO 2 before it is returned back to the underground reservoir 10.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a method and a system for energy storing and short-term power generation. Quick short-term high capacity power generation is usually needed for back-up or peak load power supply.
- The ambitious target of the European Renewable Directive is that by 2020 20% of energy is produced from renewable sources. This means renewable power capacity of about 220 GW. About 80% of this capacity is estimated to be coming from variable and less predictable sources, such as onshore and offshore wind power or solar systems. In longer term this trend is expected to continue. This means that the total energy generation will be highly variable, leading to increased price volatility of electricity. The system will be strongly dependent on weather conditions, particularly in the Central and Northern Europe, where cloudy and windless weather conditions often dominate during winter. Without proper energy storages this will lead to a situation where the European electricity system needs substantially more than 100 GW quick short-term and longer-term back-up power available all the time. Old coal-fired power plants can be taken into service after certain period of time, in practice within several hours. Thus, quick-term back-up power has to be ready for use from hydroelectric power, which is not always available, or peaking reserve power, such as gas turbines or diesel engines. Anyway, huge investments for back-up capacity are expected. Obviously, there is an increasing need for more cost efficient solutions in the energy market.
- At the same time it seems now to be evident that to prevent or at least delay global warming and other problems due to the still growing worldwide CO2 emissions Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) solutions have to be implemented extensively. The future of CCS storages at onshore sites seems to be out of the question especially in Europe because of the public resistance. Thus, offshore storages will finally be the only probable solution for CCS, leading to shipping-based transportation of liquefied CO2. Intermediate storages of CO2 must then be founded near such harbors where to liquid CO2 can be pumped via pipeline network from the CO2 capture sites - power plants and industrial plants - before shipping to the final offshore storages.
- To be as cost efficient as possible in a total CCS system, the transportation network has to collect liquid CO2 from various sources to an intermediate storage before shipping. According to several studies, the intermediate storage must be of quite a large volume, whereby in most cases steel tanks and other on-the-ground solutions tend to become highly expensive. One of the best alternatives is then to base the storage in the bedrock at a depth where hydrostatic pressure will minimize the energy needed for keeping the storage conditions at a suitable pressure and temperature.

Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic illustration of a short-term power generation system according to the invention. -
Figure 1 schematically illustrates a system according to the invention. A short-term high capacity power generation cycle employing Rankine cycle comprises anunderground reservoir 10 for storage of liquid CO2, apump 11 for pressurizing liquid CO2 withdrawn from theunderground reservoir 10, anevaporator 12 for evaporating the pressurized CO2, anexpander turbine 13 for expanding the evaporated CO2, agenerator 14 for converting rotary power to electricity, and acondenser 15 for condensing the expanded CO2 before it is returned back to theunderground reservoir 10. - Intermediate storage of liquid CO2 in a CCS system is usually carried out in geological formations, which are located in a bedrock underground or undersea. Such an underground reservoir is arranged to continuously or repeatedly receive liquefied CO2 from CO2 capture sites. At the same time, liquid CO2 is continuously or repeatedly discharged from the intermediate storage to a final storage, which may be offshore or onshore. The intermediate storage is intended for short-term storing only and the content of the storage is changing continually.
- The
underground reservoir 10 is located in thebedrock 25 at a depth of 200 - 300 m, and the volume of theunderground reservoir 10 is preferably in the range of 50 000 - 150 000 m3. Liquefied CO2 is continually supplied from one or more industrial sources to theunderground reservoir 10 via aninlet pipe 16. The temperature of CO2 supplied via theinlet pipe 16 is about -50°C. Liquid CO2 is maintained in theintermediate storage 10 under a pressure of about 8 - 10 bar. Liquid CO2 is continually discharged from theintermediate storage 10 via anoutlet pipe 17 to be transported to a final storage (not shown). - The
evaporator 12 is connected to theunderground reservoir 10 via apipeline 18 and apump 11 arranged in thepipeline 18. When short-term power generation is needed, liquid CO2 is withdrawn from theintermediate storage 10 and compressed with thepump 11 to a pressure of about 40 - 50 bar. Pressurized CO2 is passed to theevaporator 12, which vaporizes the pressurized CO2 with the help of heat from a suitable low value heat source.

Other possible low value heat sources comprise e.g. water from a river or a lake, geothermal heat, ambient air, and waste heat of an industrial plant or power generation. - The pressurized CO2 is typically evaporated at a temperature between +5°C and +20°C. From the
evaporator 12 the vaporized CO2 is fed to theexpander turbine 13, where the vaporized CO2 expands to a pressure of about 8 - 10 bar, thereby creating rotary power which is transferred to thegenerator 14 that converts mechanical energy to electrical power. - From the

Condensed CO2 is then returned back to theunderground reservoir 10 via apipeline 21. - Liquid CO2 fed to the
underground reservoir 10 via thepipeline 21 has a higher temperature than the liquid CO2 leaving theunderground reservoir 10 via thepipeline 18. As a consequence, the temperature of theintermediate storage 10 can gradually rise from about -50°C to about -20°C during a short-term power generation period. - At a point of time when back-up or peak load power is no more needed, the
underground reservoir 10 may be "recharged" by chilling the liquid CO2 back to a temperature of about -50°C. This can be done by circulating liquid CO2 through apipeline 24 and aheat pump 23 to cool the liquid CO2 until the temperature in theunderground reservoir 10 has reached the desired level. - The system also comprises an option to exceptionally release a part of the expanded CO2 to the atmosphere via a
pipeline 22 to increase the power generation capacity of the system. - It is obvious to a person skilled in the art that with the advancement of technology, the basic idea of the invention may be implemented in various ways. The invention and its embodiments are thus not limited to the examples described above; instead they may vary within the scope of the claims.
