In this paper, a novel scheme for a compressed air energy storage system is proposed to realize pressure regulation by adopting an inverter-driven compressor. The system proposed and a reference system are evaluated through exergy analysis, dynamic characteristics analysis, and various other assessments.
This concept is based on the linear relationship between hydrostatic pressure and depth, and its operational mode is like a seesaw, balancing the pressure in the upper and lower air storage devices against the external water pressure to achieve energy storage and release.
The air storage device comprises an inner superelastic rubber material and an outer rigid container. During the charging process, high-pressure air is first injected into the interior of the elastic rubber material, causing it to expand. The pressure energy of the air is converted into the elastic strain energy of the rubber.
Among those, Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) is a promising large-scale energy storage option. Surplus electricity is used to compress ambient air to a high-pressure state during periods of low power demand. The compressed air is stored in underground salt caverns or artificial vessels.
