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.
Hybrid Compressed Air Energy Storage (H-CAES) systems integrate renewable energy sources, such as wind or solar power, with traditional CAES technology.
There is cooling of the air as it flows via the thermal energy storage device, followed by an after-cooler. From this stage, there is compression of the air until required pressure is achieved. This means that the temperature of the air is again raised to 380 °C. There is an exchange of heat in the second thermal energy storage system.
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.
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 energy storage has a significant impact on the energy sector by providing large-scale, long-duration energy storage solutions. CAES systems can store excess energy during periods of low demand and release it during peak demand, helping to balance supply and demand on the grid.
