  • Patent number: 12571343
    Abstract: Provided is a power generation system and method based on compressed air energy storage technology through solar auxiliary hot humid air. The system comprises an energy storage subsystem, a solar heat storage subsystem, and a turbine generator subsystem which are connected in sequence. The energy storage subsystem includes a motor, a compressor, and an air storage tank which are connected in sequence. The solar heat storage subsystem includes a solar heat collector and a solar heat exchanger. The solar heat collector and the solar heat exchanger are connected through a heat transfer oil circulation loop. The system compresses and stores compressed air using the electricity of the power grid when an electrical load is within a low valley, releases the compressed air when the electrical load is within a peak, and heats and humidifies the air before entering the turbine using the recovered compression heat and solar energy.
