Hydraulic energy storage technology patent

What is a hydraulic energy storage system?

The hydraulic energy storage system enables the wind turbine to have the ability to quickly adjust the output power, effectively suppress the medium- and high-frequency components of wind power fluctuation, reduce the disturbance of the generator to the grid frequency, and improve the power quality of the generator.

How can a gravity hydraulic energy storage system be improved?

For a gravity hydraulic energy storage system, the energy storage density is low and can be improved using CAES technology . As shown in Fig. 25, Berrada et al. introduced CAES equipment into a gravity hydraulic energy storage system and proposed a GCAHPTS system.

How energy storage technologies are applied in hydraulic wind turbines?

Through a case analysis, the total revenue of a traditional wind turbine equipped with a CAES system can be increased by 51%, and the total efficiency of the entire system is 74.5% within 5 days. 4. Conclusion At present, energy storage technologies applied in hydraulic wind turbines mainly focuses on hydraulic accumulators and compressed air.

What is a compressed air energy storage & hydraulic power transmission system?

Loth, Eric et al. investigated a compressed air energy storage (CAES) and hydraulic power transmission (HPT) system, as shown in Fig. 16. Compared with the system proposed by Professor Perry Y. Li, this system places the open accumulator in the tower and eliminates the air compression/expansion chamber.

What is compressed air energy storage technology of hydraulic wind turbines?

Summary This section summarizes the compressed air energy storage technology of hydraulic wind turbines.The compressed air system has the advantages of large energy storage capacity, high power density, and no space limitations. It has the potential to provide a cost-effective, efficient, energy-dense, power-dense energy storage system.

How is energy stored in a hydraulic system?

The energy in the system is stored in (E) hydraulically or pneumatically and extracted from (E) when necessary. Since hydraulic pumps/motors tend to have a higher power density than pneumatic compressors/expanders, the hydraulic path is usually used for high-power transient events, such as gusts or a sudden power demand.
