Compressed-Air Energy Storage Generation

Earth & Home

★Exhibit Content: Principle of compressed air energy storage, grid peak shaving and valley filling, clean energy storage ★Interaction: Electromechanical interaction ★Operation: Turn the metal handwheel on the front of the cabinet clockwise to drive the compression mechanism through mechanical transmission, continuously compressing air into the internal storage tank until the tank pressure reaches the set standard; after stopping turning, the storage tank stores high-pressure air and slowly releases compressed air to drive the mechanical transmission unit; observe the visual turntable on top of the cabinet rotating synchronously, intuitively simulating the entire process of compressed air releasing energy to drive power generation equipment, and learn about the application value of energy storage power generation through the illustrated text on the transparent cover. ★Exhibit Description: "Compressed Energy Storage Power Generation" is a vertical floor-standing science popularization exhibit on the theme of new energy storage, belonging to the energy and power, low-carbon energy storage science popularization exhibition area, and is a recommended exhibit of the PopsciCat Exhibit Store. The exhibit uses a gray-blue segmented vertical sheet metal cabinet, with a fully transparent high-transparency acrylic closed protective cover on the upper part, integrating a manual compression transmission mechanism, high-pressure air storage tank, pressure monitoring components, chain-driven power generation simulation assembly, and a top visual demonstration turntable. A large rotating operation handwheel is installed on the front, and operation instructions and energy storage science popularization graphics are printed on the inside of the protective cover. The cabinet is equipped with a pressure sensing module and PLC electronic control system. The exhibit simulates the complete process of compressing air for energy storage during grid valley periods and releasing air for power generation during peak periods through purely manual mechanical simulation, intuitively demonstrating the technical advantages of compressed air energy storage in safety, environmental protection, and adaptability to new energy consumption, and explaining the industry role of energy storage peak shaving under the background of "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality". ★Scientific Principle: Compressed air energy storage is a core energy storage technology of the new power system, capable of achieving grid peak shaving and valley filling. During low electricity demand periods, surplus electrical energy is used to compress air into high-pressure storage vessels for energy storage; during peak demand periods, high-pressure air is released to drive power units for power generation, supplementing the grid power gap. This energy storage technology has a moderate footprint, safe operation, and no pollution
