Get StartedCompressed air energy storage (CAES) is a promising energy storage technology due to its cleanness, high efficiency, low cost, and long service life. This paper surveys state-of-the-art technologies of CAES, and makes endeavors to demonstrate the fundamental principles, classifications and operation modes of CAES.
More than 70% efficiency (from literature) was also obtained when thermal energy storage was also integrated in adiabatic CAES systems . With the use of a radial compressor, an adiabatic compressed air storage system operating at a lower temperature was also investigated.
The number of sites available for compressed air energy storage is higher compared to those of pumped hydro [, ]. Porous rocks and cavern reservoirs are also ideal storage sites for CAES. Gas storage locations are capable of being used as sites for storage of compressed air .
Expansion machines are designed for various compressed air energy storage systems and operations. An efficient compressed air storage system will only be materialised when the appropriate expanders and compressors are chosen. The performance of compressed air energy storage systems is centred round the efficiency of the compressors and expanders.
One of the main advantages of Compressed Air Energy Storage systems is that they can be integrated with renewable sources of energy, such as wind or solar power.
For diabatic compressed air energy storage, it is possible to generate higher powers due to the integration of fossil fuels especially during the expansion of air. The compressed air stored is therefore not used entirely during electricity production. Operating air pressures for the McIntosh as well as Huntorf are in excess of 46 bars.
