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.
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.
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.
Energy storage systems as a part of energy secure supply have the ability to take up a certain amount of energy, store it in a storage medium for a suitable period of time, and release it in a controlled manner after a certain time delay.
The Air Battery is illustrated as a unique CAES system for storing air isothermally by displacing air with water, with a round-trip efficiency of 81% [103, 104, 105]. As the isothermal compressor tanks fill with water, a pump pressurizes the water. As the air pressure rises, compressed air is pushed into one of the compressed air storage tanks.
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.
