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 . Compressed air energy storage systems are sub divided into three categories: diabatic CAES systems, adiabatic CAES systems and isothermal CAES systems.
Compressed Air (CA) systems have a significant impact on the energy consumption and efficiency of manufacturing systems. These may be composed of a single compressor or include several compressors that work together in a logical manner. Compressors with fixed or variable drive systems have dynamic energy consumption profiles.
With a rough estimate of 80% of U.S territory being geologically suitable for CAES, it has the potential to be a leading system within the storing of compressed air energy . One of the main disadvantages associated with this type of storage system is the need for the heating process to cause expansion.
Compressed air energy storage systems may be efficient in storing unused energy, but large-scale applications have greater heat losses because the compression of air creates heat, meaning expansion is used to ensure the heat is removed [, ]. Expansion entails a change in the shape of the material due to a change in temperature.
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 .
This system boosts overall cycle efficiency from around 42% up to around 54%. Table 5 summarises the differences between the two compressed air storage systems. Table 5.
