In low demand periods, energy is stored by compressing air in an air tight space (typically 4.0~8.0 MPa) such as an underground storage cavern. To store energy, air is compressed and sealed in the space. To extract the stored energy, compressed air is drawn from the storage vessel, mixed with fuel, and then combusted. The expanded air is then passed through a turbine.
Appendix B presents an overview of the theoretical background on compressed air energy storage. Most compressed air energy storage systems addressed in literature are large-scale systems of above 100 MW which most of the time use depleted mines as the cavity to store the high pressure fluid.
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.
Additionally, they require large-scale heat accumulators. Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) and Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES) are innovative technologies that utilize air for efficient energy storage. CAES stores energy by compressing air, whereas LAES technology stores energy in the form of liquid air.
The number of sites available for compressed air energy storage is higher compared to those of pumped hydro [, ]. Porous rocks and cavern reservoirs are also ideal storage sites for CAES. Gas storage locations are capable of being used as sites for storage of compressed air .
