Abstract

As a key parameter affecting the operation efficiency of compressed air energy storage (CAES) systems, gas flow rate (including charging and discharging rates) directly influences the thermodynamic behavior of gas storage tanks and the power output of turbines. This study establishes a coupling model of gas flow rate, heat transfer, and turbine power generation using mathematical modeling and finite element simulation. The charging/discharging processes under different flow rates are analyzed to explore the quantitative relationship between gas flow rate and power generation. Results show that turbine power generation increases linearly with the discharging flow rate, while the energy conversion efficiency first rises and then falls, with an optimal flow rate range. This research provides a theoretical basis for optimizing CAES system operation strategies and improving power generation efficiency.
