Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is one of the many energy storage options that can store electric energy in the form of potential energy (compressed air) and can be deployed near central power plants or distribution centers. In response to demand, the stored energy can be discharged by expanding the stored air with a turboexpander generator.
To address the challenge, one of the options is to detach the power generation from consumption via energy storage. The intention of this paper is to give an overview of the current technology developments in compressed air energy storage (CAES) and the future direction of the technology development in this area.
The reverse operation of both components to each other determines their design when integrated on a compressed air energy storage system. The screw and scroll are two examples of expanders, classified under reciprocating and rotary types.
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.
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.
There are several compression and expansion stages: from the charging, to the discharging phases of the storage system. Research has shown that isentropic efficiency for compressors as well as expanders are key determinants of the overall characteristics and efficiency of compressed air energy storage systems .
