The four scales include basin scale, depression scale, play scale and trap scale, and the three levels include theoretical storage capacity, engineering storage capacity, and economic storage capacity. The theoretical storage capacity can be divided into four trapping mechanisms, i.e. structural & stratigraphic trapping, residual trapping, solubility trapping and mineral trapping, depending upon the geological parameters, reservoir conditions and fluid properties in the basin. The engineering storage capacity is affected by the injectivity, storage security pressure, well number, and injection time.The economic storage capacity mainly considers the carbon pricing yield, drilling investment, and operation cost, based on the break-even principle. Application of the method for saline aquifer in the Gaoyou sag of the Subei Basin reveals that the structural & stratigraphic trapping occupies the largest proportion of the theoretical storage capacity, followed by the solubility trapping and the residual trapping, and the mineral trapping takes the lowest proportion. The engineering storage capacity and the economic storage capacity are significantly lower than the theoretical storage capacity when considering the constrains of injectivity, security and economy, respectively accounting for 21.0% and 17.6% of the latter.展开更多

文摘Clarifying the mechanisms through which coal mining affects groundwater storage(GWS)variations is crucial for water resource conservation and sustainable development.The Ordos Mining Region in China,a key energy base in China with significant strategic importance,has undergone intensive coal mining activities that have substantially disrupted regional groundwater circulation.This study integrated data from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment Satellite(GRACE)and Famine Early Warning Systems Network(FEWS NET)Land Data Assimilation System(FLDAS)models,combined with weighted downscaling methodology and water balance principles,to reconstruct high-resolution(0.01°)terrestrial water storage(TWS)and GWS changes in the Ordos Mining Region,China from April 2002 to December 2021.The accuracy of GWS variations were validated through pumping test measurements.Subsequently,Geodetector analysis was implemented to quantify the contributions of natural and anthropogenic factors to groundwater storage dynamics.Key findings include:1)TWS in the study area showed a fluctuating but overall decreasing trend,with a total reduction of 8901.11 mm during study period.The most significant annual decrease occurred in 2021,reaching 1696.77 mm.2)GWS exhibited an accelerated decline,with an average annual change rate of 44.35 mm/yr,totaling a decrease of 887.05 mm.The lowest annual groundwater storage level was recorded in 2020,reaching 185.69 mm.3)Precipitation(PRE)contributed the most to GWS variation(q=0.52),followed by coal mining water consumption(MWS)(q=0.41).The interaction between PRE and MWS exhibited a nonlinear enhancement effect on GWS changes(0.54).The synergistic effect of natural hydrological factors has a great influence on the change of GWS,but coal mining water consumption will continue to reduce GWS.These findings provide critical references for the management and regulation of groundwater resource in mining regions.

文摘According to the requirements for large-scale project implementation, a four-scale and three-level CO_(2)storage potential evaluation method is proposed for saline aquifers in a petroliferous basin in China, considering geological,engineering and economic factors. The four scales include basin scale, depression scale, play scale and trap scale, and the three levels include theoretical storage capacity, engineering storage capacity, and economic storage capacity. The theoretical storage capacity can be divided into four trapping mechanisms, i.e. structural & stratigraphic trapping, residual trapping, solubility trapping and mineral trapping, depending upon the geological parameters, reservoir conditions and fluid properties in the basin. The engineering storage capacity is affected by the injectivity, storage security pressure, well number, and injection time.The economic storage capacity mainly considers the carbon pricing yield, drilling investment, and operation cost, based on the break-even principle. Application of the method for saline aquifer in the Gaoyou sag of the Subei Basin reveals that the structural & stratigraphic trapping occupies the largest proportion of the theoretical storage capacity, followed by the solubility trapping and the residual trapping, and the mineral trapping takes the lowest proportion. The engineering storage capacity and the economic storage capacity are significantly lower than the theoretical storage capacity when considering the constrains of injectivity, security and economy, respectively accounting for 21.0% and 17.6% of the latter.
文摘On 16 January 2025,flames erupted,and smoke rose more than 300 m in Moss Landing,CA,USA,at what was until early 2024 the world’s largest battery energy storage system(BESS)[1].Prompted by the potential danger of exposure to toxic gases from the blaze[2],local authorities closed schools and the coast’s iconic Highway 1,evacuated hundreds living close to the facility,and instructed residents of the nearby communities of Santa Cruz and Salinas to stay indoors and keep their doors and windows shut.The burning lithium-ion batteries(LIB)also raised concerns about contamina-tion of communities and farmland in the area.

文摘Germany aims to achieve a national climate-neutral energy system by 2045.The residential sector still accounts for 29%of end energy consumption,with 74%attributed to the direct use of fossil fuels for heating and hot water.In order to reduce fossil energy use in the household sector,great efforts are being made to design new energy concepts that expand the use of renewable energies to supply electricity andheat.Onepossibility is toconvertparts of the natural gas grid to a hydrogen-based gas grid to deliver and store energy for urban quarters of buildings,especially with older building stock where electrification of heat via heat pumps is difficult due to technical,acoustical,and economic reasons.A comprehensive dataset was generated by a bottom-up analysis with open governmental and statistical data to determine regional building types regarding energy demand,solar potential,and existing grid infrastructure.The buildings’connections to the electricity,gas,and district heating networks are considered.From this,a representative sample dataset was chosen as input for a newly developed energy system model based on energy flow simulation.The model simulates the interaction of hydrogen generation(HG)(from excess solar energy by electrolysis),storage in a metal-hydride storage(MHS)tank,and hydrogen use in a connected fuel cell(FC),forming a local PVPtGtHP(Photovoltaic Power-to-Gas-to-Heat-and-Power)network.Next to the seasonal hydrogen storage path(HSP),a battery will complete the system to forma hybrid energy storage system(HESS).Paired with seasonal time series for PV power,electricity and heat demand,and a model for connection to grid infrastructure,the simulation of different hydrogen applications and MHS placements aims to analyze operating times and energy share of the systems’equipment and existing infrastructure.The method to obtain the data set together with the simulationmodel presented can be used by energy planners for cities,communities,and building developers to analyze the potentials of a quarter or region and plan a transition towards a more energy-efficient and sustainable energy system.
文摘In the process of building a new power system dominated by new energy sources,power storage is a key supporting technology that ensures the safe and stable operation of the power grid,enables the flexible regulation of the system,and raises the level of new energy consumption.It is also key to achieving carbon peak and neutrality as well as energy transformation.

文摘Hybrid energy storage can enhance the economic performance and reliability of energy systems in industrial parks,while lowering the industrial parks’carbon emissions and accommodating diverse load demands from users.However,most optimization research on hybrid energy storage has adopted rulebased passive-control principles,failing to fully leverage the advantages of active energy storage.To address this gap in the literature,this study develops a detailed model for an industrial park energy system with hybrid energy storage(IPES-HES),taking into account the operational characteristics of energy devices such as lithium batteries and thermal storage tanks.An active operation strategy for hybrid energy storage is proposed that uses decision variables based on hourly power outputs from the energy storage of the subsequent day.An optimization configuration model for an IPES-HES is formulated with the goals of reducing costs and lowering carbon emissions and is solved using the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm Ⅱ(NSGA-Ⅱ).A method using the improved NSGA-Ⅱ is developed for day-ahead nonlinear scheduling,based on configuration optimization.The research findings indicate that the system energy bill and the peak power of the IPES-HES under the optimization-based operational strategy are reduced by 181.4 USD(5.5%)and 1600.3 kW(43.7%),respectively,compared with an operation strategy based on proportional electricity storage on a typical summer day.Overall,the day-ahead nonlinear optimal scheduling method developed in this study offers guidance to fully harness the advantages of active energy storage.

文摘Titanium dioxide(TiO_(2))is an extremely promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries due to its low cost,minimal volume change,and extended cycle life.However,its electrochemical performance is severely hindered by inherent issues such as poor ionic and electronic conductivity.Here,we design a dual-phase conductor Co@TiO_(2),which contributes a synergistic storage mode consisting of a Li-accepting and an electron-accepting phase.In situ magnetic characterization and experimental results reveal the space charge storage mechanism in addition to traditional insertion mechanisms.Based on these mechanisms,the specific capacity and rate performance of the Co@TiO_(2)electrode have been greatly enhanced.Under a current density of 200 mA·g^(-1),the specific capacity of Co@TiO_(2)reaches 397.2 mAh·g^(-1).Upon increasing the current density to 10 A·g^(-1),the electrode still maintains a capacity of 83.1 mAh·g^(-1)after 900 cycles.This result offers a fresh perspective on the structural design of new anode materials to achieve high energy density.

文摘The development of efficient and clean heating technologies is crucial for reducing carbon emissions in regions with severe cold regions.This research designs a novel two-stage phase change heat storage coupled solar-air source heat pump heating system structure that is specifically designed for such regions.The two-stage heat storage device in this heating system expands the storage temperature range of solar heat.The utilization of the two-stage heat storage device not onlymakes up for the instability of the solar heating system,but can also directlymeet the building heating temperature,and can reduce the influence of low-temperature outdoor environments in severe cold regions on the heating performance of the air source heat pump by using solar energy.Therefore,the two-stage phase change heat storage coupled to the solar energy-air source heat pump heating system effectively improves the utilization rate of solar energy.A numerical model of the system components and their integration was developed using TRNSYS software in this study,and various performance aspects of the system were simulated and analyzed.The simulation results demonstrated that the two-stage heat storage device can effectively store solar energy,enabling its hierarchical utilization.The low-temperature solar energy stored by the two-stage phase change heat storage device enhances the coefficient of performance of the air source heat pump by 11.1%in severe cold conditions.Using the Hooke-Jeeves optimization method,the annual cost and carbon emissions are taken as optimization objectives,with the optimized solar heat supply accounting for 52.5%.This study offers valuable insights into operational strategies and site selection for engineering applications,providing a solid theoretical foundation for the widespread implementation of this system in severe cold regions.

文摘A significant number of salt caverns have high proportions of insoluble sediments,but the thermal storage utilization potential of insoluble sediments remains understudied within current research.Therefore,this study aims to explore the feasibility of an integrated compressed-air energy storage(CAES)coupled with insoluble sediment as the thermal storage media for salt caverns.In order to fulfill this objective,this study presents two steps to analyze the insoluble sediment's thermo-mechanical behavior under ordinary CAES conditions and coupled thermal energy storage(TES)conditions separately.A multiphysics-coupled numerical model was developed to investigate the thermal behavior of insoluble sediments at different heights.Then,a dual-cavity model with a sediment-filled channel was constructed to study the heat storage process in long-and short-term modes.Results demonstrated that sediment effectively protected cavern walls from thermal shocks caused by compressed air,maintaining temperature differentials within 1 K.Dual-cavity simulations revealed the sediment's capability to mitigate the temperature fluctuation of compressed air in caverns,achieving a 66% temperature reduction in the outflow interface during operation.The findings confirmed the feasibility of utilizing insoluble sediments for long-term thermal storage applications involving thermal cycles with ΔT=150 K,attaining a heat storage density of 50 kW·h/m^(3).The results show that the heat capacity of the sediment contributes to the cavern wall's stability and provide references for developing integrated CAES-TES systems in sediment-filled salt caverns.

文摘Phase Change Material(PCM)-based cold energy storage system(CESS)can effectively utilize the peak and valley power resources to reduce the excessive dependence on the power grid.In this study,a PCM-based CESS was designed for cold storage applications.The optimal number of PCM plates was determined through numerical simulations to meet the required cold storage temperature and control time.Additionally,the air temperature field,flow field,and melting characteristics of the PCMplates during the cooling release process were analyzed.The effects of plate positioning and thickness on the cooling release performance were further investigated.The results indicated that when 64PCMplateswere used,the duration formaintaining temperatures below−18℃increased from0.6 h to approximately 16.94 h.During the cooling release process,the temperature field in the cold storage exhibited stratification,and the melting of the PCM plates was non-uniform.Placing the PCM plates at the top or within the interlayers without cargo above proved more effective,with their cooling release power being approximately twice that of the PCM plates placed in the interlayers with cargo above.Furthermore,reducing the thickness of the PCMplates from15 to 7.5mmresulted in a 3.6-h increase in the time below−18℃and a 4.5-h reduction in the time required to reach 80%liquid phase fraction.

文摘Surface hydrogen storage facilities are limited and costly,making subsurface hydrogen storage in geological formations a more viable alternative due to its substantial capacity,safety,and economic feasibility.This method is essential for large-scale hydrogen storage to support renewable energy integration,fuel cell technologies,and other applications aimed at mitigating global climate change.This review examines underground hydrogen storage(UHS)in geological formations,focusing on recent experiments,modeling and simulations,and field applications.Geological formations such as depleted oil reservoirs,salt caverns,and depleted natural gas reservoirs are identified as favorable candidates due to minimal interactions with hydrogen,leading to low hydrogen loss.Globally,80%of UHS projects utilize depleted natural gas and oil reservoirs,with over 50%focused on depleted natural gas and oil condensate reservoirs due to cost-effective existing infrastructure.Among storage options,salt caverns are the most advantageous,offering self-healing properties,low caprock permeability,large storage capacity,rapid injection and withdrawal rates,and low contamination risk.Additionally,hydrogen produced from coal is the cheapest option,costing 1.2e2 USD/kg,whereas hydrogen from renewable sources,such as water,is the most expensive at 3e13 USD/kg.Despite its higher cost,green hydrogen from water,characterized by low carbon emissions,requires further research to reduce production costs.This review highlights critical research gaps,challenges,and policy recommendations to advance UHS technologies,ensuring their role in combating climate change.

文摘In March 2022,construction was started at Yunlong Lake Laboratory of Deep Underground Science and Engineering,China,on an underground gas storage experimental facility with the capacity to achieve composite structure design and material development.Underground gas storage can provide a solution to address the intermittency of renewable energy supply.Currently,lined rock caverns(LRCs)are regarded as the best option for compressed air and hydrogen storage,since they have excellent sealing properties and minimum environmental impacts.However,the load transfer,damage,and failure mechanisms of LRCs are not clear.This prevents the design and selection of mechanical structures.Particularly,the gas sealing capacity in specific gas conditions(e.g.,stored hydrogen-induced chemical reaction)remains poorly understood,and advanced materials to adapt the storage conditions of different gases should be developed.This experimental facility aims at providing a solution to these technical issues.This facility has several different types of LRCs,and study of the mechanical behavior of various structures and evaluation of the gas-tight performance of the sealing material can be carried out using a distributed fiberoptic sensing approach.The focus of this study is on the challenges in sealing material development and structure design.This facility facilitates large-scale and long-term energy storage for stable and continuous energy supply,and enables repurposing of underground space and acceleration of the realization of green energy ambitions in the context of Paris Agreement and China's carbon neutralization plan.

文摘The high operating temperatures and slow kinetics limit the application of MgH_(2)-based hydrogen storage materials.Here,a composite of Ni_(3)ZnC_(0.7)/carbon nanotubes loaded onto a melamine sponge-derived carbon(MS)skeleton is prepared and loaded onto MgH_(2).During dehydrogenation,Ni_(3)ZnC_(0.7)reacts with MgH_(2)and in situ changes to Mg_(2)Ni/Zn.The transformation of Mg_(2)Ni/Mg_(2)NiH_(4) serves as a“hydrogen pump”,providing diffusion channels for hydrogen atoms and molecules to promote the de-/hydrogenation processes.Moreover,Zn/MgZn_(2) provides the catalytic sites for the transformation of Mg/MgH_(2).The length of the Mg-H bond is elongated from 1.72 to 1.995Å,and the dissociation energy barrier of MgH_(2)is reduced from 1.55 to 0.49 eV.As a result,MgH_(2)with 2.5 wt%MS@Ni_(3)ZnC_(0.7)can absorb 5.18 wt%H_(2)at 423 K within 200 s,and its initial dehydrogenation temperature is reduced to 585 K.After 20 cycles,the dehydrogenation capacity retention is determined to be 94.6%.This work demonstrates an efficient non-stoichiometric metal carbide catalyst for MgH_(2).
