AI Customer ServiceS. Hari Charan Cherukuri, in Journal of Energy Storage, 2021 Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) is an option in which the pressure energy is stored by compressing a gas, generally air, into a high pressure reservoir. The compressed air is expanded into a turbine to derive mechanical energy and hence run an electrical generator.
Hydrostor, based in Toronto, Canada, has developed a new way of storing compressed air for large-scale energy storage. Instead of counting on a salt dome, the company makes a series of shafts that go several thousand feet underground, miners are then sent underground to hollow out a cavern that can be used for compressed air storage.
There is still a significant innovation potential for compressed air storage systems. However, it is a concept mainly for centralized storage systems with increasing efficiency and economy at larger scale and there is, as yet, no proof that the technology can operate economically in the future markets (Tables 7.10 and 7.11). TABLE 7.10.
The air, which is pressurized, is kept in volumes, and when demand of electricity is high, the pressurized air is used to run turbines to produce electricity . There are three main types used to deal with heat in compressed air energy storage system .
Compressed air energy storage systems may be efficient in storing unused energy, but large-scale applications have greater heat losses because the compression of air creates heat, meaning expansion is used to ensure the heat is removed [, ]. Expansion entails a change in the shape of the material due to a change in temperature.
Compressed air can be very wasteful; as little as 8-10% of the electricity used is converted into usable energy. On top of this, systems that use compressed air can be wasteful too. Either through leaks, poor maintenance, poor planning and poor control, even more energy can be wasted. Are there any alternatives?
