Abstract:
In order to further analyze the operation characteristics of advanced adiabatic compressed air energy storage sytem assisted by concentrating solar power(AA-CAES+CSP) system,the relevant model is established on the basis of AA-CAES system,performance of two systems is compared with each other,and the effects of key parameters on the performance of AA-CAES+CSP system are investigated.The results show that compared with AA-CAES system,cycle efficiency of AA-CAES+CSP system increases by 7.90%and energy storage density increases by 4.46%.When the number of compression stage N
1 is equal to the number of expansion stage N
2,the cycle efficiency and energy storage density are the highest.In addition,the smaller the difference between N
1 and N
2 is,the better system performance is.With the increase of heat transfer coefficient h
c,cycle efficiency firstly drops and then slowly increases,and energy storage density continuously increases.When h
c is relatively small,the larger the number of system stage N is,the lower cycle efficiency h
c is.However,the opposite thing happens when h
c is relatively large,but energy storage density continues to increase with N.In addition,the larger N is,the smaller the impact of h
c on system performance is.When maximum pressure ratio of air storage chamberβ
max increases,cycle efficiency decreases and energy storage density increases.In addition,when β
max is relatively small,the larger N is,the lower cycle efficiency is and the larger energy storage density is.However,when β
max is relatively large,cycle efficiency and energy storage density increase with N.
