In thermo-mechanical energy storage systems like compressed air energy storage (CAES), energy is stored as compressed air in a reservoir during off-peak periods, while it is used on demand during peak periods to generate power with a turbo-generator system.
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.
In diabatic compressed air energy storage systems, off-peak electricity is transformed into energy potential for compressed air, and kept in a cavern, but given out when demand is high. Fig. 17 shows the schematic of a diabatic compressed air energy storage system. Fig. 17. Diagram of diabatic compressed air energy storage system .
Adiabatic CAES without thermal energy storage use temperature generated from the compressed air and hot air is then kept in an enclosure. The limitation of this type of storage system has to do with the storage volume being temperature resistant. This phenomenon occurs because at a lower pressure ratio, the air temperature remains higher.
Adiabatic compressed air energy storage without thermal energy storage tends to have lower storage pressure, hence the reduced energy density compared to that of thermal energy storage . The input energy for adiabatic CAES systems is obtained from a renewable source.
The air, which is pressurized, is kept in volumes, and when demand of electricity is high, the pressurized air is used to run turbines to produce electricity . There are three main types used to deal with heat in compressed air energy storage system .
