Abstract
The expansion of renewable energy power generation is urgently needed to realize a decarbonized society. However, the high cost of butteries used to adjust electricity fluctuations is hindering the expansion of renewable energy power generation. In this study, we aim to develop a new energy storage method for storing excess electricity by using the unique state change of CO2 hydrate. CO2 hydrate is produced at about 0℃ under high pressure of several MPa, and can be dissociated at about room temperature. In the proposed system, the cold and warm heat required for the cooling and heating of CO2 hydrate is obtained from renewable energy. CO2 hydrate absorbs CO2 during its formation and releases high-pressure CO2 hydrate dissociation. Therefore, the pressure in the reaction vessel becomes high after CO2 hydrate dissociation. In this study, an expander is driven by the high-pressure dissociation gas of CO2 hydrate and a generator connected to the expander is operated. The amount of electricity generated in this process will be investigated and compared with the amount of electricity generated when the reaction vessel is filled CO2. The amount of electricity generated was greater when CO2 hydrate dissociated gas was used to generate electricity than when the reaction vessel was filled only with CO2.
