Title:
COMPRESSED AIR ENERGY STORAGE GENERATION DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/138320
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A compressed air energy storage generation device 2 is provided with: a motor 12; a hydraulic compressor 14; a pressure accumulator tank 18; an expander 20; and an electric generator 22. The device 2 is also provided with a generating-air flow passageway 8b; an oil component sensor 28; a separator 16b; first switch mechanisms 32b, 32c; and a control device 44. The flow passageway 8b includes a first air flow passageway 9a and a second air flow passageway 9b which are disposed in parallel from the tank 18 to the expander 20. The sensor 28 detects an oil component in the flow passageway 8b. The separator 16b separates the oil component from the compressed air in the flow passageway 9b. The first switch mechanisms 32b, 32c switch to either a state in which the compressed air flows through the flow passageway 9a or a state in which the compressed air flows through the flow passageway 9b. The control device 44, when an oil concentration higher than or equal to a reference is detected by the sensor 28, activates the first switch mechanisms 32b, 32c to separate the oil component from the compressed air using the separator 16b. Accordingly, there is provided the compressed air energy storage generation device 2 in which the hydraulic compressor 14 is employed with environmental considerations.
