1. Introduction. Since 2005, when the Kyoto protocol entered into force [1], there has been a great deal of activity in the field of renewables and energy use reduction.One of the most important areas is the use of energy in buildings since space heating and cooling account for 30-45% of the total final energy consumption with different percentages from country …
1. Introduction. Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is a technology that has gained significant importance in the field of energy systems [1, 2] involves the storage of energy in the form of compressed air, which can be released on demand to generate electricity [3, 4].This technology has become increasingly important due to the …
Transient Thermodynamic Modeling of Heat Recovery From a Compressed Air Energy Storage System - Author: Mehdi Ebrahimi, David S-K. Ting, Rupp Carriveau Sustainable development calls for a larger share of intermittent renewable energy.
With the increase of power generation from renewable energy sources and due to their intermittent nature, the power grid is facing the great challenge in maintaining the power network stability and reliability. To address the challenge, one of the options is to detach the power generation from consumption via energy storage. The intention of this paper is to …
Compressed air energy storage is a useful means of storage since the stored compressed air can be used at any time as a source of mechanical energy for power production. However, if the heat generated during compression is not utilized, the …
Any CAES system is charged by using electricity to drive air compressors, resulting in compressed air and heat. In DCAES, the heat is extracted by using heat exchangers (HEX) and dissipated (being of low grade and therefore of low value), whereas the pressurized air is stored in a dedicated pressure vessel, herein referred to as the high …

Heat Recovery and Compressed Air Systems
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 [[46], [47]]. Expansion entails a change in the shape of the material due to a change in …
Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) suffers from low energy and exergy conversion efficiencies (ca. 50% or less) inherent in compression, heat loss during storage, and the commonly employed natural gas-fired reheat prior to expansion.
