The performance of compressed air energy storage systems is centred round the efficiency of the compressors and expanders. It is also important to determine the losses in the system as energy transfer occurs on these components. There are several compression and expansion stages: from the charging, to the discharging phases of the storage system.
(1) explains how electrical energy can be stored as exergy of compressed air in an idealized reversed process. The Adiabatic method achieves a much higher efficiency level of up to 70%. In the adiabatic storage method, the heat, which is produced by compression, is kept and returned into the air, as it is expanded to generate power.
For the advanced adiabatic compressed air energy storage system depicted in Fig. 11, compression of air is done at a pressure of 2.4 bars, followed by rapid cooling. There is considerable waste of heat caused by the exergy of the compressed air. This occurs due to two factors.
Designing a compressed air energy storage system that combines high efficiency with small storage size is not self-explanatory, but a growing number of researchers show that it can be done. Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) is usually regarded as a form of large-scale energy storage, comparable to a pumped hydropower plant.
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 .
The main limitation for this technology has to do with the start up, which is currently between 10 and 15 min because of the thermal stress being high. The air is first compressed to 2.4 bars during the first stage of compression. Medium temperature adiabatic compressed air energy storage system depicted in Fig. 13. Fig. 13.
