With the improvement of industrialization degree and the rapid development of economy, global energy demands are increasing, and excessive emission of greenhouse gas carbon dioxide is brought about. To solve environmental problems caused by excessive carbon dioxide emissions, global energy structures are being inclined toward clean energy. However, renewable energy sources such as wind power and solar energy are intermittent, which means that surplus power which may be generated by the renewable energy sources cannot be utilized, and at the same time, due to the inherent characteristics of the renewable energy sources and the mismatch between the renewable energy source generation and a user power utilization system, the rejection rate of green power is high, and only a part of renewable energy source generation can be supplied to a power terminal. In addition to this, the application of energy storage technology is therefore an effective solution to the above-mentioned problems.
At present, a plurality of mature energy storage technologies are put into commercial use, such as pumped storage, compressed gas storage and the like. The pumped storage is higher than the compressed gas storage in energy storage efficiency, but is difficult to be widely applied because the pumped storage is limited by geographical environment, and the compressed gas storage is currently two types, namely compressed air storage and compressed carbon dioxide storage, and the two types of compressed gas storage generally have the problems of low energy storage density and the like, but the excellent thermophysical heat of carbon dioxide and the proper critical point thereof enable the carbon dioxide to be more easily stored in a supercritical state or in a liquid state than air, so that the energy storage density of a compressed energy storage system taking carbon dioxide as an energy storage working medium is superior to that of a system taking the carbon dioxide as the working medium. At present, the research on a liquid carbon dioxide energy storage system mainly aims at designing a better system circulation, evaluating the system performance from the aspects of economy and thermodynamics, and the research is directed at the problems of coupling of liquid carbon dioxide energy storage and renewable energy sources and energy storage and release regulation of the liquid carbon dioxide energy storage system.

The system aims at optimizing the circulation of the energy storage system, provides a new peak regulation strategy of the power utilization system of the user by additionally arranging the pressure storage tank of the middle stage, and also realizes the multistage compression and multistage expansion of the liquid carbon dioxide. By using the photoelectric hydraulic pump in the energy storage system, the heat exchange loss of vaporization when the liquid carbon dioxide energy storage system releases energy is reduced. Meanwhile, the solar heat collection unit 124, the heat storage unit 125, the cold storage unit 112 and the soil source heat storage unit 125 are combined, corresponding heat energy (comprising heat energy and cold energy) is provided for the liquid carbon dioxide energy storage and release unit, the purpose of cold storage and heat storage is achieved, and the heat energy utilization efficiency of the energy storage system is improved through gradient utilization of the heat energy.

The energy storage system also comprises a shallow geothermal utilization unit, and specifically comprises a ground heat exchanger 122, wherein the ground heat exchanger 122 is formed by connecting a plurality of ground pipes in series. The outlet of the cold storage unit 112 is connected to the first stage cooler 111 through a pipe. The outlet of the solar heat collection unit 124 is connected with the heat storage unit 125 through a pipeline, one stream of the outlet of the heat storage unit 125 sequentially passes through the high temperature side of the third-stage heater 132, the high temperature side of the second-stage preheater 103, the buried pipe heat exchanger 122, the low temperature side of the second-stage cooler 120, the high temperature side of the second-stage heater 105 and the high temperature side of the first-stage preheater 117 through pipelines, and the other stream of the outlet of the heat storage unit 125 is connected with the inlet of the solar heat collection unit 124 through the high temperature side of the reheater through a pipeline.

The working principle and specific operation process of the energy storage system provided by the embodiment are as follows:
In the energy storage stage, only the liquid carbon dioxide energy storage and release system unit comprising the multistage pressure storage tank works and is divided into two working conditions, namely a photoelectric sufficient working condition and a photoelectric insufficient working condition, wherein:
In the photoelectric full working condition, the outlet of the first-stage pressure storage tank 113 provides low-temperature low-pressure liquid carbon dioxide, the low-temperature low-pressure liquid carbon dioxide passes through the throttle valve 114 of the first-stage pressure storage tank 113 to reach a stable pressure and then enters the first-stage hydraulic pump 116, the first-stage hydraulic pump 116 pressurizes the liquid carbon dioxide under photoelectric driving to lower-temperature medium pressure and then enters the second-stage pressure storage tank 118 until the first-stage pressure storage tank 113 reaches a rated minimum pressure, meanwhile, the outlet of the second-stage pressure storage tank 118 provides low-temperature medium-pressure liquid carbon dioxide, the low-temperature medium-pressure liquid carbon dioxide passes through the second throttle valve 121 of the second-stage pressure storage tank 118 to reach the stable pressure and then enters the second-stage hydraulic pump 123, the second-stage hydraulic pump 123 pressurizes the liquid carbon dioxide under photoelectric driving to lower-temperature high-pressure and then enters the third-stage pressure storage tank 101 until the second-stage pressure storage tank 118 reaches the lowest rated pressure and at the same time the third-stage pressure storage tank 101 reaches the highest rated pressure.
When the photoelectricity is insufficient, the operation flow is the same as that of the photoelectricity sufficient condition, and the difference is that when the photoelectricity is insufficient, the first-stage hydraulic pump 116 is preferentially operated, the second-stage hydraulic pump 123 stops operating, and after the second-stage pressure storage tank 118 is ensured to reach the highest rated pressure, the first-stage hydraulic pump 116 and the second-stage hydraulic pump 123 are simultaneously operated.
In the energy release stage, the liquid carbon dioxide energy storage and release system unit comprising the multi-stage pressure storage tank is circulated as follows, the third-stage pressure storage tank 101 provides high-pressure low-temperature liquid carbon dioxide, after the high-pressure storage tank throttles to stable pressure, the liquid carbon dioxide absorbs heat of a heat transfer medium of the heat storage unit 125 through a low-temperature side of the second-stage preheater 103, the residual heat at an outlet of the second energy conversion device 106 is recovered through a low-temperature side of the second-stage regenerator 104, and then the liquid carbon dioxide is heated to a high-temperature supercritical state through a heat transfer medium of the heat storage unit 125 through the third-stage heater 132, and then the liquid carbon dioxide enters the second energy conversion device 106 to perform work and power generation. The medium temperature and medium pressure carbon dioxide gas at the outlet of the second energy conversion device 106 enters the first diversion assembly 107 to be split into two streams. The second flow passes through the high temperature side of the second-stage regenerator 104 through a pipeline, then enters the high temperature side of the second-stage cooler 120, enters the second-stage pressure storage tank 118, and is mixed with the low-temperature medium-pressure liquid carbon dioxide provided by the second-stage pressure storage tank 118, sequentially passes through the low temperature side of the first-stage preheater 117, the low temperature side of the first-stage regenerator 110 and the low temperature side of the second-stage heater 105 to be heated into medium-temperature medium-pressure gaseous carbon dioxide, and then is added into the first flow. The first stream enters the reheater to be heated and then enters the first energy conversion device 109 to perform work. The flow of the two streams is controlled by the consumer electrical load, and when the electrical load is greater, more flow flows to the reheater. When the electrical load is smaller, more flow flows to the high temperature side of second stage regenerator 104. The low-pressure carbon dioxide after the outlet of the first energy conversion device 109 sequentially enters the high-temperature side of the first-stage regenerator 110 through a pipeline, and the high-temperature side of the first-stage cooler 111 enters the first-stage pressure storage tank 113, so that energy release is finished.
The solar heat collection unit 124 heats the heat transfer medium to a certain temperature and stores the heat transfer medium in the heat storage unit 125, in the energy release stage, the heat storage unit 125 releases the heat transfer medium, one stream sequentially enters the high temperature side of the third-stage heater 132, the high temperature side of the second-stage preheater 103, the buried pipe heat exchanger 122, the second-stage cooler 120, the second-stage heater 105 and the first-stage preheater 117 through pipelines to finally return to the solar heat collection unit 124 to form a first circulation loop, and the other stream enters the high temperature side of the reheater to finally return to the solar heat collection unit 124 to form a second circulation loop.
