Abstract
An energy storage and release apparatus and a method for energy storage and release are disclosed. The energy storage and release apparatus includes a first compression unit, a first heat exchange unit, a gas storage unit, and a turbine unit. The first heat exchange unit is directly or indirectly connected between the gas storage unit and the first compression unit. A first gas enters the first compression unit via a first inlet; sequentially passes through the first compression unit, the first heat exchange unit, the gas storage unit, and the turbine unit; and then is discharged. A first temperature of the first gas before entering the first heat exchange unit is higher than a second temperature of the first gas after passing through the first heat exchange unit, and a first heat energy is provided by a temperature difference between the first temperature and the second temperature.
