6 FAQs about [Mechanical energy storage in ring tunnel]
Can compressed air energy storage be used in underground mine tunnels?
Compressed air energy storage (CAES) in underground mine tunnels using the technique of lined rock cavern (LRC) provides a promising solution to large-scale energy storage. A coupled thermodynamic and thermomechanical modelling for CAES in mine tunnels was implemented. Thermodynamic analysis of air during CAES operation was carried out.
How to solve a balanced ground stress in a mine tunnel?
In the first step, the balanced ground stress for the original mine tunnel is solved. In the second step, the balanced ground stress of the surrounding rock domain, calculated from the first step, is introduced as σ0 (Eq. (9)) to solve the stress field during the gas cycles.
What is a mechanical energy storage system?
Mechanical energy storage systems can be found either as pure mechanical (MESS) or combined with electrical (EMESS). The main difference is in the utilization of stored energy if it is directly used or transmitted via an electric motor-generator. Usually EMESSs are used to supply the grid with electricity.
How thick is a mine tunnel?
The original cross-section of the mine tunnel measures 4 m by 4 m, with the support zone, the concrete lining, the sliding layer and the steel liner having thickness of 4 m, 0.5 m, 0.01 m and 0.02 m, respectively. This configuration leaves a Ф 2.94 m circular cross-section for air storage.
What is the horizontal emittance of a storage ring?
The horizontal emittance of the storage ring was 160 pm rad. The photon measurements are in good agreement with the simulations.
Are mechanical energy storage systems efficient?
Mechanical energy storage systems are very efficient in overcoming the intermittent aspect of renewable sources. Flywheel, pumped hydro and compressed air are investigated as mechanical energy storage. Parameters that affect the coupling of mechanical storage systems with solar and wind energies are studied.
