Abstract:

In order to increase circulation efficiency and utilization rate of the compressed heat of the liquid air energy storage (B-LAES) system and make wise use of the cold energy of the liquid natural gas, this study suggests a LAES system that can achieve the combined cooling, heating, and power supply by coupling the liquid natural gas and the organic Rankine cycle system. The system is examined from the utilization rate of the compressed heat in the heat transfer oil, the circulation efficiency, the electricity recurrence conversion efficiency, and the exergy efficiency. Through the thoughtful and thorough use of compression heat in the heat transfer oil, the utilization rate of the compression heat is as high as 96.67%, which is almost 55% greater than that of the B-LAES system. Using the cold energy of liquid natural gas through coupling, the circulation efficiency of the system can reach 93.20%, which is roughly 16.9% greater than that of the B-LAES system. Using the organic Rankine cycle system, the electrical conversion efficiency of the system can reach 81.34%, which is almost 42.2% greater than that of the B-LAES system.

Key words: liquefied air energy storage, organic Rankine cycle, supplies of cooling, heating and electrical powers, cycle efficiency, compression heat utilization
