Experiment and Simulation of the Shape and Stored Gas
A finite element (FE) simulation of an airbag model with the same dimensions was established in Abaqus/Explicit. The simulation under shallow testing conditions was in
View DetailsThe airbag was hung and filled with water, and its volume was measured to be approximately 0.465 m 3. The maximum energy stored in the 1/4 downscaled airbag was approximately 9.3 kJ, determined by the product of the maximum volume and rated pressure. A 4 m prototype at a depth of 700 m can store an energy of 210 MJ, i.e., approximately 58.3 kW·h.
Underwater compressed gas flexible airbag energy storage test device 10 m underwater deflation test. In the pressure curve of the airbag for underwater deflation, the pressure was basically stable at 0.8 MPa and outputted outward. After analysis, it was believed that the output pressure was smaller than the actual output pressure.
A finite element (FE) simulation of an airbag model with the same dimensions was established in Abaqus/Explicit. The simulation under shallow testing conditions was in good agreement with the experimental results. Furthermore, studies on the performance of a 4 m airbag prototype with different water depths are presented.
The 1/4 model was a spherical airbag with a diameter of 1 m diameter. Owing to fabrication, the shape was slightly oblate. A suspension test for the model was performed to evaluate the displacement and storage volume. The airbag was hung and filled with water, and its volume was measured to be approximately 0.465 m 3.
A tank experiment of a 1 m model of an underwater spherical airbag was performed to investigate the characteristics of the deformed shape, pressure, and volume of the stored compressed air. A finite element (FE) simulation of an airbag model with the same dimensions was established in Abaqus/Explicit.
From the above review, the energy release process of underwater compressed air flexible airbag energy storage is approximately isobaric due to the action of water pressure, which is more efficient and has greater energy storage capacity than the current land-based CAES system, and has greater development potential.
