Today’s systems, which are based on the conservation and utilization of pressurized air, are usually recognized as compressed air energy storage (CAES) systems. The practical use of compressed air dates back to around 2000 B.C. when bellows were used to deliver a blast of air for the metal smelting process .
Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is an effective solution for balancing this mismatch and therefore is suitable for use in future electrical systems to achieve a high penetration of renewable energy generation.
The study presented by Wu et al. describes the thermodynamic analysis of a novel compressed air energy storage system powered by renewables. The thermal storage in this system is realized in the form of thermochemical storage, utilizing the process of the reduction of Co 3 O 4 to CoO.
Compressed air energy storage may be stored in undersea caves in Northern Ireland. In order to achieve a near- thermodynamically-reversible process so that most of the energy is saved in the system and can be retrieved, and losses are kept negligible, a near-reversible isothermal process or an isentropic process is desired.
Using this technology, compressed air is used to store and generate energy when needed . It is based on the principle of conventional gas turbine generation. As shown in Figure 2, CAES decouples the compression and expansion cycles of traditional gas turbines and stores energy as elastic potential energy in compressed air . Figure 2.
The individual vessels can be connected in series or in parallel to increase the usability of this type of compressed air storage. Such connections allow the pressure stabilization of the system or the extension of the system operating time.
