摘要:

氢能储能在可再生能源调峰中起着至关重要的作用,由于风能和太阳能资源的间歇性和波动性以及储存氢气的多变性,盐穴储氢通常涵盖广泛的注采频率,一个注采生产周期可能需要数周、数月、数季度和数年。这是盐穴储氢独特的特点,然而盐穴储氢在不同注采频率下的密闭性尚不清楚,需要进一步研究。为明确不同注采频率以及高频注采条件下储气压力、埋藏深度对盐穴密闭性的影响,通过建立双腔盐穴三维模型,使用FLAC3D对上述工况进行了数值模拟,得到了各个工况下储氢盐穴运行30年后的氢气渗流范围、夹层孔隙压力和氢气累计泄漏率,以此为根据分析了各种因素对盐穴密闭性的影响。结果表明:氢气累计泄漏率随注采频率的增大逐渐增大;随着注采频率的增长,靠近盐穴区域的夹层孔隙压力会降低,远离盐穴区域的夹层孔隙压力会增大;在相同频率下,氢气泄漏率随深度的增加均呈增大趋势;随着注采频率的增长,盐穴最低储气压力越小,氢气泄漏量越大;夹层渗透率对盐穴密闭性起着决定性作用,夹层氢气泄漏占总泄漏的90%以上,盐穴在用于储氢时,夹层渗透率应小于1.0×10-18 m2

Abstract:

Hydrogen energy storage plays a crucial role in balancing the load of renewable energy sources. Owing to the intermittent and volatile nature of wind and solar energy, combined with the variability in hydrogen storage, salt cavern hydrogen storage usually covers a wide range of injection and production frequencies. These cycles can span weeks, months, quarters, or even years. This is a unique feature of hydrogen storage in salt caverns. However, the impact of varying frequencies on the tightness of salt cavern storage remains unclear and requires further investigation. This study aims to evaluate the effects of injection and production frequency, internal pressure of hydrogen storage, and burial depth on the tightness of salt caverns under high-frequency operational conditions. To achieve this, a two-cavity three-dimensional model of a salt cavern was established and simulated using FLAC3D.The key outputs include the hydrogen seepage range, interlayer pore pressure variation, and cumulated hydrogen leakage rate after 30 years of operation under various conditions. Based on this, the influence of various factors on the tightness of salt cavern is analyzed. The results show that the cumulative leakage of hydrogen increases as injection and production frequency rise. As the injection and production frequency increase, the interlayer pore pressure near the salt cavern area near the salt cavern decreases, while the interlayer pore pressure farther from the salt cavern rises. At the same frequency, hydrogen leakage rates also increase with greater burial depths. Furthermore, higher injection and production frequencies result in a lower minimum operating pressure for the salt cavern, which leads to increased hydrogen leakage. Interlayer permeability significantly impacts the air tightness of the salt cavern, with interlayer hydrogen leakage accounting for more than 90% of the total leakage. When salt cavern is used for hydrogen storage, the interlayer permeability should be less than 1.0×10-18 m2.
