Description This method is used to manage a pressure accumulator with an energy storage system consisting of a work machine, a catch basin for holding liquid, a displacement device and a pressure accumulator for storing a pressurized gaseous medium. To a certain extent, the pressure accumulator is filled with a liquid medium in order to be able to control the gas storage volume, the charging of the pressure accumulator with pressurized gas being accompanied by the removal of liquid. The removal of pressurized gas from the pressure accumulator is accompanied by the loading of liquid, in particular so that the storage pressure is kept constant by introducing a pressurized unit gas into the pressure accumulator with the unit liquid removed from the pressure accumulator by means of the displacement device , Conversely, a unit gas to be removed from the pressure accumulator is conveyed from the pressure accumulator with the aid of the unit introduced into the pressure accumulator. This method and this arrangement make it possible to completely fill and empty the pressure accumulator with gas under pressure, which leads to better utilization of the pressure accumulator volume and thus increases the energy density of the energy storage system. In addition, the pressure fluctuations in the pressure accumulator are minimized, which reduces the loads on the pressure accumulator and minimizes the heat flows in and out of the pressure accumulator. The working machine can be optimized for an operating point, regardless of the fill level of the pressure accumulator, which has further advantages.
Energy storage systems are used to store energy in a battery or by means of a pumped storage power plant. In times of low load, energy is stored, which is made available again in times of high energy demand. Energy storage is established in conventional energy production and is increasingly required for the generation of renewable electrical power in order to prevent overcapacities in the generation and distribution of electricity. Since, for example, the generated solar energy and wind energy depend on the local weather conditions and can therefore be poorly or not matched to the current energy requirements, options for energy storage are in demand.
Storage systems that store energy in the form of a pressurized gas, use energy generated during low load times for the compression of a gaseous medium, mainly ambient air, and store the pressurized gas in a pressure accumulator. The energy stored in the pressurized gas can be recovered using the pressurized gas to power an expansion machine that drives, for example, a generator. This concept is known in various versions as CAES, an abbreviation for Compressed Air Energy Storage. In the following description of the invention, the term “air” can be used, although of course a wide variety of gaseous media can be used according to the invention, such as natural gas, which is taken from the pipeline network and stored in a pressure accumulator under higher pressure and at a later time is relaxed again at the pressure of the pipeline network. In general, gas which is taken from a first reservoir is compressed by an increase in pressure and stored in a second reservoir which has an increased pressure level in comparison to the first reservoir, and / or gas which is taken from the second reservoir is expanded and is fed to a third reservoir, which is at a lower pressure level than the second reservoir, whereby this "third reservoir" can also be the first reservoir.
When compressing air, almost the entire compression energy is converted into heat, which is either removed during the compression or afterwards from the compressed air in order to be able to store the compressed air at moderate temperatures. If heat is dissipated primarily during compression, the compressed air heats up less than if the heat is only removed from the air after compression. Depending on the maximum temperature difference of the air (difference between the temperature of the air at the beginning of the compression and the maximum temperature during the compression), one speaks of isothermal compression (heat is largely dissipated during the compression and the temperature difference remains minimal), polytropic compression (heat is partially dissipated during compression and the temperature difference lies between the minimum and maximum difference) or adiabatic compression (heat is largely removed after compression, which leads to a maximum temperature difference). The same applies to the relaxation of compressed air, only that the heat flow is reversed here. If heat is added to the compressed air during the relaxation, the air cools less than if heat is only added to the air before or after the relaxation, the air experiencing a maximum temperature difference. A difference in the execution of the various CAES concepts is where and at what temperature difference the heat flows are dissipated before, during and / or after compression and where the heat for the relaxation of the compressed air comes from and at what temperature difference the heat before, are supplied to the air during and / or after relaxation.
In addition to the type of compression and expansion (isothermal, polytropic, adiabatic / single or multi-stage / with reversible work machine or with a compressor and expansion machine separately, with the combustion of fuels), the CAES concepts differ in the type of pressure accumulator concept used , A distinction is made here whether a constant or variable pressure storage volume is used. If a constant pressure accumulator volume is loaded or unloaded with compressed air, the pressure of the compressed air in the pressure accumulator changes accordingly linearly with the stored quantity of compressed air. This requires a work machine, which is
CH 715 001 A1 can adapt to the accumulator pressure and generally prevents the accumulator from being completely emptied, since the working machine can only work in a certain pressure range. The result of this is that a certain amount of compressed air must always remain in the pressure accumulator in order not to fall below the minimum working pressure of the working machine. Depending on the pressure accumulator, the pressure may only fluctuate in a certain range in order not to overload the pressure accumulator, which also makes it impossible to completely empty the pressure accumulator. The thermal heat flows into and out of the pressure accumulator are also not negligible, since the compressed air in the pressure accumulator is also compressed or expanded during filling and emptying.
When loading or unloading a pressure accumulator with a variable pressure accumulator volume, the change in pressure of the compressed air in the pressure accumulator can be controlled. This is usually done with the aim of keeping the pressure of the air in the pressure accumulator constant during filling or discharge of the pressure accumulator, or at least keeping it within a certain range. A constant accumulator pressure makes it possible to fill and empty the accumulator completely with compressed air, without having to adjust the operating parameters of the machine to the level. In addition, the pressure accumulator experiences no or only minimal pressure fluctuations, which reduces the stress on the pressure accumulator. The heat flows in and out of the pressure accumulator are also minimized.
When implementing the different concepts, various technical problems arise, which are shown below. For example, DE 19 803 002 892 / US 4,392,354 discloses an arrangement of a pressure reservoir partially filled with water, in which the pressure of the compressed air in the pressure reservoir is kept constant by a water column. To collect the displaced water when loading the pressure accumulator with compressed air, there must be a catch basin at the top of the water column. With a storage pressure of 60 bar, for example, the water column must be 600 m high, which leads to a geographical dependency for the pressure storage.
US 20 120 174 569 A1 / US 9 109 512 B2 shows an arrangement with a higher collecting basin and a hydraulically driven 2-stage piston compressor / expander. When the pressure accumulator is emptied, the hydrostatic pressure of the water column keeps the minimum pressure in the pressure accumulator. In order to bring the pressure accumulator to a higher pressure level than the height difference between the pressure accumulator and the collecting basin allows, only the collecting basin has to be isolated from the pressure accumulator. As soon as the pressure in the pressure accumulator discharges to the hydrostatic pressure of the water column when the pressure accumulator is discharged, the catch basin is reconnected to the pressure accumulator and keeps the pressure above the minimum accumulator pressure when the pressure accumulator is emptied further. Here, too, there is a geographic dependency for a collecting basin located higher up.
US 20 120 305 411 A1 / US 8 801 332 B2 shows a construction of a pressure accumulator which is set up under water. At the lower end of the pressure accumulator there is an opening through which the water is pressed into the pressure accumulator by the hydrostatic pressure. Compressed air is led into or out of the container by a work machine located above the water level. There are other versions of underwater (constant) pressure accumulators, for example in the form of an air-filled balloon which is kept under water. All of these configurations depend on the geography and the pressure vessel experiences a buoyancy due to the stored compressed air, which must be compensated in order to keep the pressure accumulator under water.
In order to eliminate the geographical dependency, the pressure in the pressure accumulator can be checked with a liquid by releasing the liquid from the pressure accumulator into a collecting basin by means of a liquid motor when loading the pressure accumulator with compressed air, which does not have to have a height difference. Conversely, when compressed air is removed from the pressure reservoir, liquid is pumped from the catch basin into the pressure reservoir in order to control the pressure in the pressure reservoir. This has the disadvantage that the overall efficiency and the total power consumption of the system (in relation to the installed air compressor / expander output and liquid motor / pump output) become smaller, since air is compressed and the pressure accumulator is filled at the same time Liquid must be released from the pressure accumulator and conversely, when air expands, liquid must simultaneously be pumped into the pressure accumulator.
The teaching according to WO 2008 023 901 A1 / US 20 090 200 805 A1 / US 7 663 255 B2 eliminates the geographical dependency and the problem with the performance and efficiency reduction by an additional liquid pump / motor, in addition to the first Pressure accumulator, which is partly filled with a liquid and is connected to the air compressor / expander, a second pressure accumulator must in turn be partly filled with a liquid. This second pressure accumulator is hermetically sealed on the gas side and connected to the first pressure accumulator via a line, so that when the first pressure accumulator is loaded with compressed air, a liquid pump built into the line pumps liquid from the first into the second pressure accumulator and compresses the enclosed gas there. When the first pressure tank is empty, i.e. filled with liquid, the gas trapped in the second pressure accumulator receives the minimum system pressure. When the first pressure accumulator is filled with compressed air and the liquid has been pumped into the second pressure accumulator, the pressure in the second pressure container is many times higher than in the first pressure container. The second pressure accumulator can store little energy in relation to the maximum operating pressure and its volume, which makes the system expensive.
Accordingly, it is the object of the present invention to provide a structurally simple pressure accumulator system which is able to control the pressure of the compressed air in the pressure accumulator when loading or unloading the
CH 715 001 A1
Check the pressure accumulator with compressed air with a liquid, without being dependent on a high hydrostatic pressure of a liquid column (higher-lying collecting basin or underwater storage), and without using a second pressure accumulator with hermetically sealed gas cushion, into or from which the liquid is shifted , and without the disadvantage of the above-mentioned reduction in performance and efficiency, with the advantage of good control over the heat flows into and out of the system, and with a high energy density in the system.
This object is achieved by a pressure storage system according to the features of claim 1 for a method and according to the features of claims 8 and 9 for a device for performing the method.
Because the loading of the pressure accumulator with compressed air is accompanied by the removal of liquid from the pressure accumulator and the liquid removed is used in the same train to move the compressed air into the pressure accumulator, the pressure in the pressure accumulator can be checked, in particular, be kept constant. The compressed air can also be introduced into the pressure accumulator without further compressing the compressed air located in the pressure accumulator. The quantity of liquid removed from the pressure accumulator is displaced into the collecting basin after the displacement process for introducing compressed air into the pressure accumulator, in order to be displaced again into the pressure accumulator when compressed air is removed from the pressure accumulator.
In order to fill or empty the pressure accumulator with work machines (compressor / turbine) of any design, a displacement device is necessary in addition to the pressure accumulator and the collecting basin. This shifting device can also be used as a compression stage or as a relaxation stage. The displacement device can also be arranged in parallel and / or in series. Since the displacement device can also be used as a compressor / expansion stage, an additional work machine (compressor / turbine) is not absolutely necessary, or at least one compressor / expansion stage in the work machine can be replaced by the displacement device.
The liquid in the system can be used as a heat buffer, if necessary, to store the heat of compression and to use this heat later during the expansion in order to prevent the system from overcooling. It is also possible to use the heat of compression for other purposes (e.g. in buildings for hot water and heating), and to return the heat for expansion from the environment to the system or vice versa, the heat of compression can be given off to the environment and heat for the Expansion from other sources (e.g. for building cooling) can be fed into the system. Of course, the heat of compression can be used elsewhere and the heat for expansion can be obtained from an object to be cooled. This makes sense because the heat of compression can be given off at a different temperature level than the temperature level at which the heat for the expansion is returned to the system.
Preferably, the displacement container is partially filled with a solid mass, which serves as a regenerator mass. For example, metal or ceramic, preferably with a large surface area compared to the volume, can be used to remove heat into the air or from the air, which is consecutively absorbed or released by the liquid or by a heat exchanger.
It is understood that the liquid can either be in direct contact with the air or can be separated from the air by a wide variety of media separation devices such as bubbles, pistons, membranes, etc. The liquid can either be moved directly with a liquid pump / motor or via pistons, which are moved, for example, by a hydraulic or pneumatic piston or by a crankshaft with a connecting rod.
The invention is described below with reference to the figures and its function is explained.

1 shows a pressure accumulator 1, partially filled with a liquid 2 (here water) and compressed gas 3 (here air), the gas and the liquid either being in direct contact or being separated by a device (in Fig. 1 not shown). Also visible is a working machine 4 which is fluidly connected to a gas source / sink 5 (here the atmosphere) and is able to remove gas from the gas source 5, compress it and convey it into the pressure accumulator 1 by means of the displacement device 6 and / or to remove gas from the pressure accumulator 1 by means of the displacement device 6, to expand it and to supply it to the alleyway 5. The work machine 4 can consist separately of a compressor and an expander and the necessary drives 8 or outputs 8 or a combined compressor / expander which can both compress and expand a gas, the work machine 4 also being able to be constructed in several stages. The drive 8 or output 8 of the working machine 4 is, for example, an electric motor or generator, which is connected to the electrical network 9. When compressing gas, electricity is drawn from the network 9 and when expanding gas, electricity is fed into the network 9.
The displacement device 6 is characterized in that a fluidic connection 11, 12 to the working machine 4 and / or the pressure accumulator 1 can be established on the gas side and a fluidic connection 13, 14 to the pressure accumulator 1 and / or the collecting basin 7 can be established on the liquid side can, in such a way that it is possible to convey liquid in or out of the pressure accumulator 1 or the catch basin 7 and at the same time to move, compress or relax gas which is located in the displacement device 6 or the pressure accumulator 1 ,
By moving liquid from the pressure accumulator 1 or the catch basin 7 into the shifting device 6, the gas located in the shifting device 6 can be shifted into the pressure accumulator 1 or into the working machine 4 and / or the gas can be moved by means of the shifting device 6 are compressed, depending on whether there is a fluidic connection 11, 12 to the working machine 4 or to the pressure accumulator 1 for the gas in the displacement device 6 or whether the connections 11, 12 are interrupted. The directions of flow of the flows through the fluidic connections 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 generated by the displacement device 6 and / or by the working machine 4 are shown by arrows.
By moving liquid from the displacement device 6 into the pressure accumulator 1 or into the collecting basin 7, gas can be sucked in or out of the pressure accumulator 1 or from the working machine 4 into the displacement device 6 and / or the gas in the displacement device 6 can be relaxed by the displacement device 6, depending on whether there is a fluidic connection 11, 12 for the gas in the displacement container to the working machine 4 or to the pressure accumulator 1 or whether the connections 11, 12 are interrupted.
CH 715 001 A1 [0025] In the case of an existing fluidic connection 11 of the displacement device 6 to the working machine 4, there may also be a connection to the gas source / sink 5 or to gas which is at a pressure level between that of the pressure accumulator 1 and that of the gas source / sink 5 is or to gas, which is at or above the pressure level of the pressure accumulator 1 or generally to gas, which is at any pressure level.
1 allows the machine 4 to be driven via the power supply 9 in order to compress gas and to charge the displacing device 6 with the compressed gas, in which the supplied gas is either compressed and displaced into the pressure accumulator 1 can or from which the supplied gas can be moved into the pressure accumulator 1 without further compression of the gas. According to the invention, when the compressed gas is shifted from the shifting device 6 into the pressure accumulator 1, the pressure in the pressure accumulator 1 or the gas storage volume in the pressure accumulator 1 can be checked by the liquid displaced by the shifting device 6 for the shifting process and / or compression process either the pressure accumulator 1 or is taken from the catch basin 7.
The arrangement of FIG. 1 also allows compressed gas to be displaced from the pressure accumulator 1 into the displacement device 6 and / or to be expanded therein in order to either relax the compressed gas and then the machine 4 for further relaxation To make available or to provide compressed gas for relaxation without prior relaxation of the working machine 4, which in turn drives a generator 8, with which electricity is fed into the network 9. According to the invention, when the compressed gas is moved from the pressure accumulator 1 into the displacement device 6, the pressure in the pressure accumulator 1 or the gas storage volume in the pressure accumulator 1 can be checked by moving liquid from the displacement device 6 either into the pressure accumulator 1 or into the collecting basin 7 ,
Fig. 2 shows a possible embodiment of the displacement device 6, consisting of a displacement container 60, for providing a displacement volume, which volume can be provided by an independent container, but can also be integrated into the machine 4, or as a line volume can be present between the working machine 4 and the pressure accumulator 1. Furthermore, the displacement device includes a displacement mechanism 61, which is designed here as an example as a liquid pump 61, the liquid pump 61 generally only showing the direction of flow and not whether it is compressed or relaxed, and has valves 62, 63, 64, 65 that allow it to establish a fluidic connection 11, 12, 13, 14 between the displacement device 6 and the working machine 4, the pressure accumulator 1 and / or the collecting basin 7 [] or interrupt [X]. In the following, there is generally no explicit discussion of which valves establish or interrupt a fluidic connection at what point in time, since this can be seen from the figures and a fluidic connection that is produced is also characterized by the direction of flow of the fluid.
At this point it should also be mentioned that the displacement mechanism 61 must of course also be driven or braked, and that this can be done in different ways, for example by a mechanical connection to the working machine and its input and output, or by a separate one Input or output. This mechanical connection or this input and output are not shown in FIGS. 2 and 2a to 2z, since the liquid pump 61 is used only as an example as a displacement mechanism 61. In the following, it should generally be assumed that the displacement mechanism 61 (here liquid pump) has both a drive and an output power and that, if necessary, further valves or devices can be used, for example to reverse the direction of action of the displacement mechanism 61 or its effect in part or in full cancel or discontinue.
The different operating modes that result from the arrangement of FIG. 2 are explained with reference to FIGS. 2a to 2z, the representations at different times describing the states or the current processes in the system and to be understood schematically.
The process, which is shown with FIGS. 2a to 2f, is hereinafter referred to as "compression mode without post-compression". The compression mode is recognized by the fact that the direction of flow of the gas (at least on average over time) points from the gas source 5 to the working machine 4. This means that the working machine 4 is driven to compress gas and for this purpose electricity is drawn from the network 9. FIG. 2a shows the beginning of a shifting process in that a compressed unit gas 30, which is located in the shifting container 60, is shifted into the pressure accumulator 1. This takes place in that the liquid pump 61 pumps or shifts a unit of liquid 20 from the pressure accumulator 1 into the displacement container 60 and the liquid level rises there and consequently the unit compressed gas 30 presses into the pressure accumulator 1, where the unit compressed gas 30 releases it volume that has just taken up from the pressure accumulator 1 unit liquid 20. This process is shown in Fig. 2a to 2c with three successive magazines. Since the liquid unit 20 and the compressed gas unit 30 are at the pressure level of the pressure accumulator 1 during this process, the liquid pump 61 only has to exert a small amount of power (for example flow losses, gravitational forces, buoyancy forces) in order to produce the liquid unit 20 and thus the unit to move compressed gas 30 in a certain time.
2d to 2f the temporal continuation of the process of FIGS. 2a to 2c is shown by the liquid 20 located in the displacement container being displaced from the displacement container 60 into the collecting basin 7. For this purpose, the fluidic connection 12 of the displacement container 60 to the pressure accumulator 1 is interrupted and the fluidic connection 11 between the working machine 4 and the displacement container 60 is established, so that gas from the
CH 715 001 A1
Work machine 4 can flow into the displacement container 60 or can be sucked in. Furthermore, the fluidic connection 14 is established between the sliding container 60 and the collecting basin 7, so that the sliding mechanism 61 can move the unit of liquid 20 from the sliding container 60 into the collecting basin 7. It is relevant at what pressure level the gas flows from the work machine 4 into the displacement container 60 or is sucked in. If this happens with gas, which is, for example, at the pressure level of the gas source 5 and the liquid in the collecting basin 7 is also at the pressure level of the gas source 5, then the liquid pump 61 in turn only has to exert a low power (for example flow losses, gravitational forces, buoyancy forces) in order to pump the unit of liquid 20 from the displacement container 60 into the collecting basin 7 in a certain time. In this process, the higher the pressure difference between the liquid in the displacement container 60 and the liquid in the collecting basin 7, the more power has to be applied by the liquid pump 61 in order to pump (compress) or to brake (relax) the liquid, depending on whether the pressure level is higher in the catch basin 7 or in the sliding container 60. If the gas that is in the displacement container 60 (as shown in FIG. 2 f) is not yet at the desired pressure level, the working machine 4 can continue to deliver gas into the displacement container 60 without liquid being displaced until that in the displacement container 60 located gas has reached the desired pressure level and there is another unit of compressed gas 30 for introduction into the pressure accumulator 1 in the displacement container 60.
Then the fluidic connection 11 between the working machine 4 and the displacement container 60 is interrupted and the fluidic connection 12 between the displacement container 60 and the pressure accumulator 1 is established and the cycle begins with a changed content of the pressure accumulator 1 again with the state according to FIG. 2a, the compressed gas 30 located in the displacement container 60 being displaced into the pressure accumulator 1. If the compressed gas unit 30 was in the displacement container 60 at the pressure level of the pressure accumulator 1 before the fluidic connection 12 between the pressure accumulator 1 and the displacement container 60 was established, the pressure level of the pressure accumulator becomes when the displacement process is repeated (FIGS. 2a to 2f) 1 remain constant. If the unit of compressed gas 30 is at a lower pressure level than the pressure level of the pressure accumulator 1 before the fluidic connection 12 is established between the pressure accumulator 1 and the displacement container 60, then the pressure level of the pressure accumulator 1 will decrease. If the unit of compressed gas 30 is at a higher pressure level than the pressure level of the pressure accumulator 1 before the fluidic connection 12 is established between the pressure accumulator 1 and the displacement container 60, then the pressure level of the pressure accumulator 1 will increase. The pressure level of the pressure accumulator 1 can thus be checked during the filling with compressed gas (regardless of the fill level of the pressure accumulator 1). The unit of compressed gas 30 in the displacement container 60 is not or only slightly compressed by a change in the level of the liquid in the displacement container 60. This is why this operating mode is called “compression mode without post-compression”.
The process, which is shown with Fig. 2g to 2m, is hereinafter referred to as "compression mode with post-compression". The compression mode is recognized by the fact that the direction of flow of the gas (at least on average over time) points from the gas source 5 to the working machine 4. That is, the work machine 4 is driven to compress gas and electricity is drawn from the network 9. The difference to the “compression mode without post-compression” is that a unit gas 30 compressed by the work machine 4, which is located in the displacement container 60, is not only displaced into the pressure accumulator 1 by the rising liquid level in the displacement container 60, but can also be compressed , This is achieved by moving liquid from the catch basin 7 into the displacement container 60 by means of the liquid pump 61, as shown in FIGS. 2g and 2h, the unit compressed gas 30 being enclosed in the displacement container 60, i.e. on the gas side there is no fluidic connection 11, 12 between the displacement container 60 and the pressure accumulator 1 or the work machine 4. When the desired pressure level in the displacement container 60 is reached, the fluidic connection 14 between the collecting basin 7 and the displacement container 60 can be interrupted, and a fluidic connection 12 can be produced between the displacement container 60 and the pressure accumulator 1. The subsequent shifting process is shown in FIGS. 2i to 2m, wherein the post-compressed unit gas 30 located in the shifting container 60 is introduced into the pressure accumulator 1 and then the unit liquid 20 and the amount of liquid for the post-compression are conveyed into the collecting basin 7.
This process is in principle identical to that after the operating mode "compression mode without post-compression" (2b to 2f) and will not be explained further.
Depending on the application, the displacement container 60 can be connected directly to the gas source 5 and the displacement mechanism 61 can be provided with the drive 8 of the work machine 4, so that no work machine 4 is required for pre-compression. In the following, we can speak of the “compression mode with post-compression”, even if the displacement device 6 is used to extract gas from the gas source 5 and to compress the same gas, without using a work machine 4 in the pressure storage system.
The process which is shown with FIGS. 2n to 2s is hereinafter referred to as “expansion mode without pre-relaxation”. The expansion mode is recognized by the fact that the direction of flow of the gas (at least on average over time) points from the working machine 4 to the alley 5. This means that the working machine 4 relaxes compressed gas and drives the generator 8, electricity being fed into the network 9. 2n shows the beginning of a shifting process, where a compressed unit of gas 30, which is located in the pressure accumulator 1, into the shifting container 60
CH 715 001 A1 is postponed. This is done in that the liquid pump 61 moves liquid from the displacement container 60 into the pressure accumulator 1 and the liquid level rises there and consequently presses compressed gas via the fluidic connection 12 into the displacement container 60, where the unit compressed gas 30 takes the place of the same Pressure accumulator 1 unit 20 takes liquid. This process is shown in Fig. 2n to 2p with three successive magazines. Since the liquid unit 20 and the compressed gas unit 30 are at the pressure level of the pressure accumulator 1 during this process, the liquid pump 61 only has to exert a small amount of power (for example flow losses, gravitational forces, buoyancy forces) in order to produce the liquid unit 20 and thus the unit to move compressed gas 30 in a certain time.
2q to 2s the temporal continuation of the process in FIGS. 2n to 2p is shown in that liquid 20 located in the collecting basin 7 is displaced from the collecting basin 7 into the displacement container 60. For this purpose, the fluidic connection 12 of the shifting container 60 to the pressure accumulator 1 is interrupted and the fluidic connection 11 is established between the working machine 4 and the shifting container 60 so that gas can flow into the working machine 4 from the shifting container or can be sucked in. Furthermore, the fluidic connection 14 is established between the sliding container 60 and the collecting basin 7, so that the sliding mechanism 61 can move liquid from the collecting basin 7 into the sliding container 60. It is relevant to what pressure level the gas is in the displacement container 60. If the gas in the displacement container 60 is, for example, at the pressure level of the gas source 5 and the liquid in the collecting basin 7 is also at the pressure level of the gas source 5, then the liquid pump 61 in turn only has to exert a low power (for example flow losses, gravitational forces, buoyant forces). in order to pump the liquid from the collecting basin 7 into the displacement container 60 in a certain time. In this process, the higher the pressure difference between the liquid in the displacement container 60 and the liquid in the collecting basin 7, the more power must be applied by the liquid pump to pump or brake the liquid, depending on whether in the collecting basin 7 or in the displacement container 60 the pressure level is higher. If the gas that is in the displacement container 60 (as shown in FIG. 2q) is not yet at the desired pressure level, the working machine 4 can first release gas from the displacement container 60 without liquid being displaced until it is in the displacement container 60 gas located has reached the desired lower pressure level.
After reaching the state as shown in Fig. 2s, the fluidic connection 11 between the working machine 4 and the shift container 60 is interrupted and the fluidic connection 12 between the shift container 60 and the pressure accumulator 1 is opened and the cycle begins with changed content of the pressure accumulator 1, again with the state according to FIG. 2n, again a unit compressed gas 30 located in the pressure accumulator 1 being displaced into the displacement container 60. During the removal of compressed gas, the pressure level of the pressure accumulator 1 remains constant, the compressed gas unit 30 in the displacement container 60 being not or only slightly relaxed or compressed by a change in the level of the liquid in the displacement container 60. This is why this operating mode is called “expansion mode without pre-relaxation”.
The process, which is described with FIGS. 2t to 2z, is hereinafter referred to as “expansion mode with pre-relaxation”. The expansion mode is recognized by the fact that the direction of flow of the gas (at least on average over time) points from the working machine 4 to the alley 5. This means that the working machine 4 relaxes compressed gas and drives the generator 8, electricity being fed into the network 9. The difference to the “expansion mode without pre-relaxation” is that a compressed unit gas 30 (as shown in FIGS. 2t to 2u), which is removed from the pressure accumulator 1 and is located in the displacement container 60, is not only displaced by the falling liquid level in the displacement container 60 , but can also be relaxed. This is achieved by moving liquid from the sliding container 60 into the collecting basin 7 by means of the liquid pump 61, as shown in Figs. 2v and 2w, the unit of compressed gas 30 being enclosed in the sliding container 60, i.e. on the gas side there is no fluidic connection 11, 12 between the displacement container 60 and the pressure accumulator 1 or the machine 4. When the desired pressure level in the displacement container 60 is reached, the fluidic connection 11 between the displacement container 60 and the machine 4 can be established. The subsequent shifting process is shown in FIGS. 2x to 2z, the pre-expanded unit gas 30 located in the shifting container 60 being shifted into the working machine 4. In principle, this process is identical to that of the “expansion mode without pre-relaxation” operating mode (FIGS. 2q to 2s) and is not explained further.
If necessary, the process, which is shown in FIGS. 2t and 2u, could also be carried out with an existing fluidic connection 14 between the displacement container 60 and the collecting basin 7, instead of an existing fluidic connection 13 between the displacement container 60 and the pressure accumulator 1. In this case, the pressure level in the pressure accumulator 1 would decrease. Or the process, as shown in FIGS. 2v and 2w, is carried out with an existing fluidic connection 13 between the sliding container 60 and the pressure accumulator 1, instead of an existing fluidic connection 14 between the sliding container 60 and the collecting basin 7. Then the pressure level rises pressure accumulator. The pressure level of the pressure accumulator 1 can thus be checked during the removal of compressed gas (irrespective of the fill level).
Depending on the application, the displacement container 60 can be connected directly to the gas source 5 and the displacement mechanism 61 can be provided with the output 8 of the working machine 4 so that no working machine 4 is required for subsequent relaxation. In the following, we can talk about «expansion mode with pre-relaxation»
CH 715 001 A1 if the shifting device 6 is used to remove gas from the pressure accumulator 1 and to relax the same gas, without using a work machine 4 in the pressure accumulator system.
3a to 3c are intended to illustrate what is meant by a combined gas and liquid or separate gas or liquid displacement container 60, without finally describing the possible combinations of separate or combined displacement containers. One or more pistons are used as a displacement mechanism 61 as an example. The piston and the piston rod replace the liquid pump, which among other things. 2, 2a to 2z serves as a displacement mechanism 61. The piston movement, which is represented by a larger arrow, is controlled via the piston rod and has an input or output, which is not shown in FIGS. 3a to 3c. The piston can also perform a separation function to separate media (gas / gas, liquid / gas, liquid / liquid). The pressure accumulator 1, the catch basin 7 and other components such as, for example, the working machine 4 are not shown in FIGS. 3a to 3c, since these have the same function as shown in the figures above. The shown embodiment variants of the displacement device 6 can be used for the operating modes “compression mode without post-compression” or “compression mode with post-compression” as well as “expansion mode without pre-expansion” or “expansion mode with pre-expansion”. The individual steps of the compression and expansion process correspond to the processes shown in FIGS. 2a to 2z and are not explained again in detail.
3a shows a displacement device 6, consisting, among other things, of a combined gas and liquid displacement container 60 and a piston with a piston rod, which serves as a displacement mechanism 61. The piston can be used to separate gas and liquid. From the combined displacement container 60, a fluidic connection 11 to the working machine 4 or a gas source / sink 5 and / or a fluidic connection 12 to the pressure accumulator 1 and a fluidic connection 13 to the pressure accumulator 1 and / or a fluidic connection 14 to the collecting basin 7 can be established on the gas side ,
3b shows a displacement device 6, including, among other things, a combined gas and liquid displacement container 60a, a separate liquid displacement container 60b and a piston with a piston rod, which serves as a displacement mechanism 61. The piston can be used to separate liquids. A fluidic connection is present between the displacement containers 60a and 60b, via which the displacement mechanism 61 can convey liquid in both directions. A fluidic connection 11 to the working machine 4 or to the gas source / sink 5 and / or a fluidic connection 12 to the pressure accumulator 1 can be established on the gas side from the combined displacement container 60a. On the liquid side, a fluidic connection 13 to the pressure accumulator 1 and / or a fluidic connection 14 to the collecting basin 7 can be established from the liquid displacement container 60b.
3c shows a displacement device 6, consisting, among other things, of a separate gas displacement container 60a, a separate liquid displacement container 60b and two pistons with piston rods, which serve as a displacement mechanism 61. As shown schematically, the pistons are connected by a crank mechanism, whereby a rigid connection of the piston rods is also possible, but for this the displacement containers 60a, 60b would have to be arranged in a line. The displacement containers 60a and 60b are mechanically connected by the displacement mechanism 61. This enables liquid and gas to be divided into two different sliding containers. Optionally, an additional liquid cushion can be attached to the piston in the gas displacement container 60a in order to promote any desired properties and processes, such as, for example, controlling the heat transfer from and to the gas or to minimize the dead space volume of the displacement container 60a. From the gas displacement container 60a, a fluidic connection 11 to the working machine 4 or the gas source / sink 5 and / or a fluidic connection 12 to the pressure accumulator 1 can be established on the gas side. On the liquid side, a fluidic connection 13 to the pressure accumulator 1 and / or a fluidic connection 14 to the collecting basin 7 can be established from the liquid displacement container 60b.
4 shows a possible parallel arrangement of two combined gas and liquid displacement containers 60a, 60b, a separate liquid displacement container 60c and a piston with a piston rod as the displacement mechanism 61. The pressure accumulator 1, the collecting basin 7 and other components such as the work machine 4 are not shown in FIG. 4, since they have the same function as in the figures previously. A fluidic connection can be established between the displacement containers 60a and 60c or 60b and 60c, via which the displacement mechanism 61 can convey liquid in both directions. A fluidic connection 11 to the working machine 4 or the gas source / sink 5 and / or a fluidic connection 12 to the pressure accumulator 1 can be established on the gas side from the displacement containers 60a and 60b. On the liquid side, a fluidic connection 13 to the pressure accumulator 1 and / or a fluidic connection 14 to the collecting basin 7 can be established from the liquid displacement container 60c. With this embodiment variant of the displacement device 6, the displacement mechanism 61 acts alternately on the displacement containers 60a and 60b. As a result, more time is available in the displacement containers 60a and 60b for the compression or expansion process with a similar performance profile of the displacement mechanism 61 in order to favor any desired thermodynamic properties and processes, such as optimizing and controlling the heat transfer from and to the gas.
5 and 6 show parallel arrangements of displacement tanks, which allow liquid between the displacement tanks 60a, 60b and the pressure reservoir 1 or the collecting basin 7, but in the operating modes “compression mode with post-compression” and “expansion mode with pre-relaxation” also between the displacements
CH 715 001 A1 holder 60a, 60b itself to be displaced by means of the displacement mechanism 61. The chronological sequence of this process is explained on the basis of FIGS. 6a to 6y.
The pressure accumulator 1, the catch basin 7 and other components such as, for example, the working machine 4 are not shown in FIGS. 6a to 6y, since they have the same function as in the figures above.
5 shows a possible parallel arrangement of displacement containers 60a, 60b and a piston as the displacement mechanism 61. The displacement device 6 shown consists, among other things, of two combined gas and liquid displacement containers 60a and 60b, a separate liquid displacement container 60c and a piston with a piston rod, which serves as a displacement mechanism 61. A fluidic connection can be established in each case between the displacement containers 60a and 60c or 60b and 60c, as a result of which the displacement mechanism 61 can, among other things, shift liquid between the displacement containers 60a and 60b in both directions. A fluidic connection 11 to the working machine 4 or the gas source / sink 5 and / or a fluidic connection 12 to the pressure accumulator 1 can be established on the gas side from the displacement containers 60a and 60b. On the liquid side, a fluidic connection 13 to the pressure accumulator 1 and / or a fluidic connection 14 to the collecting basin 7 can be established from the liquid displacement container 60c. With this embodiment variant of the displacement device 6, the displacement mechanism 61 can act alternately and also simultaneously on the displacement containers 60a and 60b.
6 and 6a to 6y show a possible parallel embodiment of displacement containers 60a and 60b and a liquid pump as a displacement mechanism 61. Of the combined gas and liquid displacement containers 60a and 60b, a fluidic connection 11 to the machine 4 or the gas source / sink 5 and / or a fluidic connection 12 to the pressure accumulator 1. In addition, a fluidic connection 13 to the pressure accumulator 1, a fluidic connection 14 to the collecting basin 7 and / or a fluidic connection between the displacement containers 60a and 60b can be established on the liquid side. Together with the valves 64 and 65, the valve block 66, consisting of four individual valves, enables the definition of the direction of flow of liquid through the liquid pump 61 from / to the displacement tanks 60a and 60b, from / to the catch basin 7 and from / to the pressure accumulator 1 As a result, liquid can optionally be displaced in both directions between a displacement container 60a or 60b and the pressure accumulator 1, the catch basin 7 or between the displacement containers 60a and 60b itself.
6a to 6c the time sequence of the compression of a unit gas 30 can be seen within a sliding container 60a. In this case, liquid is displaced from the parallel displacement container 60b by the displacement mechanism 61 into the displacement container 60a in order to compress the unit 30, gas flowing in through the fluidic connection 11 into the displacement container 60b. As soon as the gas unit 30 has reached the desired pressure level, the fluidic connections 12 and 13 between the displacement container 60a and the pressure accumulator 1 are produced, as shown in FIG. 6d, in order to convey the unit compressed gas 30 into the pressure accumulator 1 by means of the displacement mechanism 61, by using the method already described, wherein a unit of liquid 20 is removed from the pressure accumulator 1 in order to displace the unit compressed gas 30 from the displacement container 60a into the pressure accumulator 1 with low power. FIG. 6e shows the completed shifting process, with the liquid 20 being in the shifting container 60a, as shown in FIGS. 6f and 6g, by establishing the fluidic connection 14 between the shifting device 6 and the collecting basin 7 in the catch basin 7 to be moved. Because the fluidic connection 11 is made between the displacement device 6 and the working machine 4 or directly to the gas source 5, gas can then flow into the displacement container 60a. As shown in FIGS. 6h to 6j, the process for compressing a unit 30 located in the displacement container 60b is repeated in order to be displaced into the pressure accumulator 1, as shown in FIGS. 6k and 61, the pressure accumulator 1 being one Unit liquid 20 is removed in order to be moved into the collecting basin 7 as shown in FIGS. 6m and 6n. The processes in FIGS. 6h to 6n are not explained in detail, since they correspond in principle to the processes in FIGS. 6a to 6g. 6o then shows the continuation in time, the state of the displacement device 6 again corresponding to the state in FIG. 6a and the entire process for compressing gas and introducing it into the pressure accumulator 1 can be repeated.
6p to 6y show the chronological sequence in order to remove compressed gas 3 from the pressure accumulator 1 by means of the displacement device 6 and to bring it to a lower pressure level in the “expansion mode with pre-relaxation” operating mode.
6p and 6q show the chronological sequence of the removal of a unit of compressed gas 30 from the pressure accumulator 1, by means of the displacement device 6 and the establishment of the fluidic connections 12 and 13 between the displacement device 6 and the Pressure accumulator 1 a unit of liquid 20 is shifted from the displacement container 60a into the pressure accumulator 1. As can be seen in FIGS. 6r to 6t, the fluidic connections 12 and 13 between the displacement container 6a and the pressure accumulator 1 are then separated and a fluidic connection between the displacement containers 6a and 6b is established by switching the valve 66, the compressed one Unit gas 30 is relaxed in the displacement container 60a, by means of the displacement mechanism 61, by displacing liquid into the displacement container 60b in a controlled manner. The relaxed gas in the displacement container 60b is fed through the fluidic connection 11 of the working machine 4 or directly to the alleyway 5. After reaching the desired pressure level in the displacement container 60a, as shown in FIGS. 6u and 6v, inter alia by switching
CH 715 001 A1 of the valve 66, a fluidic connection 14 is established between the sliding container 60b and the collecting basin 7 in order to shift the amount of liquid, which corresponds to the unit liquid 20, from the collecting basin 7 into the sliding container 60b by means of the sliding mechanism 61. Thereafter, as shown in FIGS. 6w and 6x, inter alia by switching the valve 66, the fluidic connections 12 and 13 are established between the displacement container 60b and the pressure accumulator 1 in order to remove a unit of gas 30 from the pressure accumulator 1 by using the Shift mechanism 61 a unit of liquid 20 is shifted from the shift container 60b into the pressure accumulator 1. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 6y, the unit gas 30 located in the displacement container 60b is expanded, analogously to the process in FIGS. 6r to 6t. This process and the renewed removal of a further unit of gas from the pressure accumulator 1 and the expansion thereof in the displacement container 60a will not be discussed in detail, since this can be understood from what has already been explained.
A multi-stage or serial arrangement makes sense in the operating modes “compression mode with post-compression” and “expansion mode with pre-relaxation”. The advantages of loading the pressure accumulator 1 with compressed gas or removing compressed gas from the pressure accumulator 1 by means of the displacement device 6 were explained in the preceding text. The same shifting process can, however, also be used between two different pressure stages within the shifting device 6, in the following one speaks of a first and a second stage, wherein further stages can also be added according to the same principle.
7 and 7a to 7n, the operation of the displacement device 6 is explained in more detail without showing the other components belonging to the pressure storage system according to FIG. 1, since their function has not changed.
7 and 7a to 7n show a possible parallel and serial embodiment of displacement containers and two liquid pumps 61a and 61b as displacement mechanisms, the displacement process between the second stage and the pressure accumulator 1 but also between the first stage and the second stage is applied. The first stage consists of two displacement containers 60a and 60b, a displacement mechanism 61a and the corresponding valves. Accordingly, the displacement stage 60c, the displacement mechanism 61b and the corresponding valves belong to the second stage. The displacement device can be connected on the gas side through the fluidic connection 11 to the working machine 4 or the gas source / sink 5 and by means of the fluidic connection 12 to the pressure accumulator 1. On the liquid side, the displacement device 6 can be connected to the pressure accumulator 1 by means of the fluidic connections 13 and to the collecting basin 7 by means of the fluidic connection 14.
7a and 7b, the chronological sequence of the compression of a unit gas 30b within the shift container 60c can be seen by moving liquid from the shift container 60b into the shift container 60c by means of the shift mechanism 61b. At the same time, a unit gas 30a is also compressed in the displacement container 60a in that liquid is displaced from the displacement container 60b into the displacement container 60a by means of the displacement mechanism 61a. When the desired pressure level in the displacement container 60c is reached, as shown in FIGS. 7c and 7d, the compressed unit gas 30b is displaced from the displacement container 60c into the pressure accumulator 1 by moving a unit liquid 20 from the pressure accumulator 1 into the displacement container 60c by means of the displacement mechanism 61b is moved. In the meantime, the unit gas 30a is further compressed in the displacement container 60a until the desired pressure level is reached. Thereafter, as can be seen in FIGS. 7e and 7f, the compressed unit gas 30a is displaced into the displacement container 60c by means of the displacement mechanism 61a, a unit liquid 20a is displaced from the displacement container 60c into the displacement container 60a. At the same time, the quantity of the unit of liquid 20 is correspondingly conveyed out of the displacement container 60b through the fluidic connection 14 into the collecting basin 7 by means of the displacement mechanism 61b.
7g shows the initial state of the shifting device 6, in which the unit gas 30a in the shifting container 60c is compressed and introduced into the pressure accumulator and a further unit of gas 30c in the shifting container 60b is compressed in order to then be shifted into the shifting container 60c to be shifted, analogously to the processes from FIGS. 7a to 7f.
7h to 7n show the chronological sequence in order to remove compressed gas 3 from the pressure accumulator 1 by means of the displacement device 6 and to bring it to a lower pressure level in the “expansion mode with pre-relaxation” operating mode.
7h and 7i, the removal of a unit of compressed gas 30b can be seen from the pressure accumulator 1, by means of the displacement device 6 and the establishment of the fluidic connections 12 and 13 between the displacement device 6 and the pressure accumulator 1, a unit of liquid 20b is moved from the displacement container 60c into the pressure accumulator 1. At the same time, a unit of gas 30a is expanded in the displacement container 60a in that liquid is displaced from the displacement container 60a into the displacement container 60b in a controlled manner by means of the displacement mechanism 61a. As shown in FIGS. 7j and 7k, the gas unit 30a in the displacement container 60a is further expanded until the desired pressure level is reached. In the meantime, the unit of compressed gas 30b, which is located in the displacement container 30c, is expanded, in that liquid is displaced from the displacement container 60c into the displacement container 60b in a controlled manner by means of the displacement mechanism 61b until the desired pressure level is reached. Thereafter, as shown in FIGS. 7I and 7m, the relaxed unit gas 30b is shifted from the shifting container 60c into the shifting container 60b by one unit by means of the shifting mechanism 61a
CH 715 001 A1
Liquid 20b is shifted from the shift container 60b into the shift container 60c. 7n shows the initial state of the displacement device 6, followed by the relaxation of the gas 30b located in the displacement container 60b, but also the further removal of a gas unit from the pressure accumulator 1 and its displacement into the displacement container 60c, by means of of the shifting mechanism 61b, the unit liquid 20c is shifted from the shifting container 60c into the pressure accumulator 1, analogously to the processes from FIGS. 7h to 7m. 8 shows a possible separation device 31 for separating liquid 2 and compressed gas 3 located in the pressure accumulator 1. The separating device 31 is embodied here by way of example as a bubble, which can change its shape in order to adapt to the fill level of the pressure accumulator 1. This function can of course also be performed by other types of separating devices, such as a piston. The separation of the liquid 2 from the gas 3 may be necessary in order to limit the proportion of dissolved gas in the liquid or to allow any orientation of the pressure accumulator 1 without taking into account the direction of action of forces such as gravitational or buoyant forces have to.
Fig. 9 shows a possible arrangement of a regenerator 69 and / or a heat exchanger 68 in a sliding container 60. This serves to heat, which is dissipated in the sliding container 60 from the gas via the heat exchanger 68 and / or via the regenerator 69 is released to the liquid, or vice versa, heat which is supplied via the heat exchanger 68 and / or is supplied to the gas from the liquid via the regenerator 69.
10 shows an energy storage system as shown in FIG. 1, with the difference that the catch basin 7 is connected to the working machine 7 by a fluidic connection 15 and can thereby be brought to any pressure level. If in the energy storage system alone the displacement device 6 is used for the compression or expansion of gas, without a working machine 4, then the collecting basin 7 is connected to the displacement device 6 by means of the fluidic connection 15 in order to control the pressure level in the collecting basin 7.
11 shows the combination of pressure vessels 101, 102, ... to form a pressure accumulator 1. This arrangement increases the energy density of the pressure accumulator system by reducing the amount of liquid in comparison to the pressure accumulator volume.
