열저장소 내 열성층화는 에너지저장 시스템의 효율을 향상시키고 수요 발생시 더 많은 유효에너지를공급하기 위해 필수적인 기술이다. 일반적으로 저장소의 종횡비(폭에 대한 높이의 비)와 크기에 따라 열성층도가달라지는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 논문은 열수 저장을 위한 암반공동의 종횡비와 저장용량이 저장공동 내 열성층화와 외부로의 열손실에 미치는 영향을 조사하는 데 연구 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 전산유체역학 코드인 FLUENT 를 이용하여 암반공동의 종횡비와 저장용량에 따른 열전달 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 성층도 정량화 지수를이용하여 시간경과에 따른 열성층화의 변화를 분석하였으며, 저장공동 외부로의 열손실을 평가하였다. 분석결과, 종횡비가 증가함에 따라 공동 내 열성층화가 향상되는 경향을 보였으나, 종횡비 3-4 이상부터는 이러한영향이 크지 않은 것으로 분석되었다. 저장용량이 작은 암반공동에 비해 용량이 큰 암반공동에서 상대적으로긴 시간 동안 열성층화가 높게 유지되는 것으로 분석되었으나, 종횡비 증가에 따라 저장용량이 다른 공동들간의성층화 차이가 줄어드는 경향을 나타냈다. 암반공동의 종횡비가 커질수록 공동의 표면적이 늘어나 종횡비의증가에 따라 주변 암반으로의 열손실이 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 단위 저장용량을 줄여 소규모 다중공동을적용하는 경우, 총 저장용량이 동일한 단일공동에 비해 전체 열손실량이 증가하는 것으로 분석되었다.
Abstract
Thermal stratification in heat stores is essential to improve the efficiency of energy storage systems and deliver more useful energy on demand. It is generally well known that the degree of thermal stratification in heat stores varies depending on the aspect ratio (the height-to-width ratio) and size of the stores. The present study aims to investigate the effect of the aspect ratio and storage volume of rock caverns for storing hot water on thermal stratification in the caverns and heat loss to the surroundings. Heat transfer simulations using a computational fluid dynamics code, FLUENT were performed at different aspect ratios and storage volumes of rock caverns. The variation of thermal stratification with respect to time was examined using an index to quantify the degree of stratification, and the heat loss to the surroundings was evaluated. The results of the numerical simulations demonstrated that the thermal stratification in rock caverns was improved by increasing the aspect ratio, but this effect was not remarkable beyond an aspect ratio of 3-4. When the storage volume of rock caverns was large,a higher thermal stratification was maintained for a relatively longer time compared to caverns with a small storage volume, but the difference in thermal stratification between the two cases tended to decrease as the aspect ratio became larger. In addition, the numerical results showed that the heat loss to the surrounding rock tended to increase with an increase in aspect ratio because the surface area of rock caverns increased as the aspect ratio became larger. The total heat loss from multiple small caverns with a reduced storage volume per cavern was larger compared to a single cavern with the same total storage volume as that of the multiple caverns.
