Description
Method for storing energy and releasing energy and obtaining geothermal energy through stratum cracks of non-communicated well bore Priority application The application claims priority of China patent application No. 2024107219672 filed in 6 month 5 2024, which is a method and a system for storing and releasing energy and acquiring geothermal energy through formation cracks, and No. 2024112086187, which is a method and a system for storing and releasing energy and acquiring geothermal energy through original formation cracks of a stratum, and the two priority patent applications are incorporated by reference in their entirety. Technical Field The invention relates to the field of underground energy storage, in particular to a method for storing and releasing energy through stratum cracks and obtaining geothermal energy. Background Renewable energy sources such as wind energy, solar energy, and the like often have significant intermittent, fluctuating, random characteristics. With large-scale development of new energy and high-proportion grid connection, electric power and electricity balance, safety and stability control and the like face unprecedented challenges. Therefore, the energy storage industry balances the fluctuation of new energy power generation and meets the necessary requirement of peak demand of the power utilization end. The prior energy storage technology mainly comprises mechanical energy storage and electrochemical energy storage. The electrochemical energy storage comprises lead-acid batteries, lithium ion batteries, hydrogen fuel battery energy storage and the like. Because of high investment and maintenance cost, and environmental and safety problems, the mechanical energy storage mainly comprises pumping energy storage, air compression energy storage and the like, and is not used in a large scale. The water pumping and energy storage method is to pump water from a lower position to a higher position of the land and convert electric energy into gravitational potential energy of the water, so that the water pumping and energy storage method has high requirements on the land structure, cannot be applied to plain or hilly areas with flat land, and has corresponding requirements on climate and rainfall of application areas, and the compressed air energy storage is a mature energy storage technology, but waste mines or underground caves are required to be used as air storage media, so that the water pumping and energy storage method can only be used in certain specific areas. Geothermal energy is also the main direction of new energy development at present. The exploitation of geothermal energy conventionally includes a way that technological paths are completely contradictory, namely, the way of exploiting geothermal energy through hydraulic fracturing is adopted, and the way of exploiting geothermal energy is adopted, wherein the way is adopted for avoiding the generation of cracks in a bottom layer through hydraulic fracturing, and only faults with relatively developed natural cracks in the stratum are adopted as target exploiting geothermal energy. Among them, a method of exploiting geothermal heat by hydraulic fracturing is generally called an enhanced geothermal system, which requires at least two wellbores (one injection fluid, one exploitation fluid) communicating through formation cracks to work cooperatively, and the formation cracks are closed during geothermal exploitation, and the crack gaps are supported only by rough surfaces or proppants. The defects of the method include that the cracks are in a closed state, the gaps of the cracks are small, friction resistance in the cracks is large, so that energy loss of injection fluid is large (parasitic load is large), and because the injection well and the exploitation well are communicated by a plurality of stratum cracks, the injection fluid easily flows through the stratum cracks with large gaps of the cracks rapidly, and heat exchange with surrounding rocks cannot be effectively carried out, so that thermal short circuit is caused, and the temperature of an outlet of the exploitation well is suddenly reduced. For example, the invention patent application with publication number of CN117150591A discloses a multi-well enhanced geothermal system construction method, which comprises (1) drilling an injection well of which a vertical well is a multi-well enhanced geothermal system into a thermal reservoir, simultaneously taking a wellhead as a center and arranging microseism monitoring shallow well stations around the vertical well, (2) carrying out large-scale hydraulic fracturing on the vertical well, carrying out moment tensor inversion on stress waves received by the microseism monitoring shallow well stations to obtain source mechanism information, determining important parameters of a main hydraulic fracture, (3) establishing a continuous fracture network model, displaying the distribution of fracture permeability in the therma
