The present invention relates to a storage energy generation system utilizing natural energy and a generation method thereof, and an air duct well electric station utilizing integrated energy which can be applied to this generation system, the operational principle and beneficial effects are as follows:


The electric station utilizing integrated energy, particularly the intake channels at the base of the air duct well electric station utilizing integrated energy locate in solar pre-heat room which surrounds the electric station, the sunlight heat the tube filled with a heat collecting medium through an optical collector composed by prism and convex. According to a requirement of design temperature, the tube may multiply surround or intertwine in the solar pre-heat room so as to obtain enough temperature, at meantime, the tube can be further connected to a solar heat collector which has a higher heating efficiency, liquid cooling heat removal system of the air compressor, and underground hot water heating system etc to fully utilize heat energy of the surrounding environment, such that the tube can obtain a temperature much higher than directly shine the air. Under the condition that the tubes are arranged with certain density, the air surrounding the tubes can obtain a much higher temperature than that only shined by sunlight. Heated air enters into intake channels at the base of the air duct well, then produces higher air velocity and pressure in the air duct well. When change of natural conditions such as wind power, cloudy and sunny, sunlight etc causes fluctuation of airflow, for example, when natural conditions are fine which causes excess generated electric energy, the adjusting peak load device can store excess electric energy to a storage battery through allocation of the power distribution control system or drive the air compressor to store compressed air in the air storage tank. On the contrary, when generated electric energy is not enough, the adjusting peak load device can release the above mentioned stored electric energy and supply electricity to the blower to provide effective supplementary airflow, and the air storage tank can drive the air motor in the air duct well to assist operation of the generator. Appropriate capacity of adjusting peak load can be chosen according to local natural conditions such that balanced generation in day and night and four seasons can be realized.


Smooth-going ascending airflow in the air duct well locates at the duct device, and airflow closer to the wall of the air duct well still flows upward according to original travel direction and velocity, and airflow of a central part of the air duct well enters into the duct device. Under the condition of normal operation, the pressure turbine will compress the airflow which enters into the inlet of the duct and accelerates the airflow to the upper the impeller, the airflow is further compressed by reducing a portion of the duct and form parallel flow in faster velocity and greater pressure, now the impeller is pushed to drive the generator to generate electricity. At meantime, partial power output by the impeller responses and applies to the pressure turbine, which drives the turbine to operate so as to compress and accelerate injected airflow. According to the principle of fluid mechanics, inner outline with symmetric hyperbolic section is the section form which makes liquid flow smoothly most, its “chimney” effect is the strongest, the section has comparatively large opening, and does its utmost to reduce velocity and pressure differences between injected or ejected airflows at inlet or outlet of the duct and surrounding airflow, turbulent flow is not easily produced, that is to say, perturbation to overall mobility of airflow is minimum, and main noise source is eliminated. So the longitudinal section of side wall of the duct is preferably designed to a symmetric hyperbolic outline. According to rotational speed or frequency of the optional generator and design of the duct, reasonable rotational speeds of the impeller and pressure turbine are hardly coordinated. Appropriate transmission mechanism can be introduced to coordinate rotational speed, such that the impeller and pressure turbine all reach optimum operation efficiency.


The duct device is as far as possible coaxially set at the central portion of the air duct well, and its sectional area is not larger than 50% sectional area of the air duct well. Such configuration makes relatively small interference to surrounding airflow and benefit to restoration of velocity and pressure of working airflow, so as to ensure efficient operation of next level generation device.


Choosing frequency conversion permanent-magnetic generator which structure is simple can simplify maintenance work and easily apply to power input condition which is relatively instable.


Through the above mentioned structure, the bearing structure supports the air duct well in the bearing structure and firmly forms to a whole part through symmetrically distributed support bars, the bearing structure utilizes steel truss structure which makes easily assemble, and symmetrically distributed support bars provide stable balanced support in each direction. Because the air duct well does not need to bear weight, it can be formed through splicing pre-sectional steel concrete cylinder tubes, which greatly increases construction efficiency and reduces construction difficulty, further ensure smooth standard of inner wall of the air duct well, it is benefit to construct a high power air duct well electric station with high pressure and velocity.


The smooth going ascending airflow in the air duct well enters into the muffler at the outlet, and discharges through multiple exhaust holes which are dispersed in the muffler. The airflow no more acutely collides with the atmosphere outside which makes exhaust more smoothly, do not produce exhaust noise any more and reduce direct crash to top structure of the wind tower.


Storage energy generation system utilizing integrated energy produces and stores compressed air through an air compressor device which is connected to an electric station particularly an air duct well electric station utilizing integrated energy, such that compressed air becomes a storage energy medium and main driving power of other electric stations utilizing integrated energy particularly electricity grid, auxiliarily drives power source and realizes function of stabilizing frequency and adjusting peak load. Its structure is simple and cost is far less than traditional electrical or mechanical control systems with the same function.


The integrated energy in the present invention particularly refers to one of natural energy such as wind power, hydraulic power, solar energy, tidal energy, wave energy or a combination thereof.


The air duct well electric station utilizing integrated energy of the present invention and applicant's series patent technical solution of driving vehicles through compressed power engine form a clean energy recycling system.


Technical features of the present invention are further described in detail through embodiments combined with drawings.
