Now, China is expected to accelerate the development of its far less prevalent compressed air energy storage (CAES) projects to optimize its power grid performance and move in a greener direction.
A compressed air energy storage (CAES) project in Hubei, China, has come online, with 300MW/1,500MWh of capacity. The 5-hour duration project, called Hubei Yingchang, was built in two years with a total investment of CNY1.95 billion (US$270 million) and uses abandoned salt mines in the Yingcheng area of Hubei, China’s sixth-most populous province.
Recently, a major breakthrough has been made in the field of research and development of the Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) system in China, which is the completion of integration test on the world-first 300MW expander of advanced CAES system marking the smooth transition from development to production.
Of all the types of energy storage in China, CAES will represent 10% by 2025 and then surge to 23% by 2030, if all goes to plan. The China Industrial Association of Power Sources (CIAPS) said in an April report that China’s total energy storage capacity topped the world at 43.44 GW at the end of 2021.
IET director Xu Yujie said: “The completion of the Zhangjiakou plant is an important milestone as the facility is a national demonstration project that can be a benchmark for other CAES projects in China.” In China, most CAES plants claim to be “non-combustion” as they do not use fossil fuels to reheat the compressed air.
The country’s first 100-MW CAES national demonstration project, which is touted as the largest and most efficient in the world, was connected to the national power grid in Zhangjiakou in Henan province on September 30.
