Abstract

Renewable energy is becoming the main subject of energy consumption with the accelerating transformation of energy structure. The renewable power supply systems sourced by wind and solar energies have attracted wide attention as they are of great significance to regions that are rich in renewable energy. In this study, the stable power system consisting of solar, wind and liquid carbon dioxide energy storage is proposed for the sake of meeting user electricity load. Thermodynamic and economic performance of the proposed systems with different application scenarios is analyzed and some interesting findings are summarized. The round trip efficiency and energy density of the liquid carbon dioxide energy storage system are 58.34 % and 23.41 kWh/m3, respectively. The start hour of dispatch can cause obvious influence on the energy storage capacity and there is an optimal dispatch start time to achieve the minimum energy storage capacity. The overall energy efficiency of energy storage-aided power system including solar and wind powers is much higher than that of the single sourced system. The energy efficiency of the solar-wind-LCES system is 94.61 % while it is only 80.31 % and 76.29 % for the wind-LCES and solar-LCES systems, respectively. The introduction of the liquid carbon dioxide energy storage into the renewable power supply system can greatly reduce the electricity purchasing investment.
