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.
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.
CAES in underground mine tunnels using the technique of LRC provides a promising solution for storing large amounts of energy. Although CAES in LRC tunnels has been extensively studied both theoretically and experimentally, commercial CAES facilities employing the technique of LRC were unheard of. Several theoretical issues are yet to be resolved.
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.
In light of the assumptions outlined in Section 2.1, the coupled thermodynamic and thermomechanical processes for CAES in underground mine tunnels can be effectively approached using a 2D simulation scheme. However, when considering steel reinforcement, a 3D simulation scheme becomes necessary.
Therefore, the thermophysical properties, including density (ρg), viscosity (μg), thermal conductivity (kg), heat capacity (Cp,g), and compressibility factor (Zg), of compressed air as functions of air temperature and pressure are homogeneous within the tunnel, as shown in Eq. (3).
