Matlab program for compressed air energy storage

How is compressed air storage system modeled in MATLAB/Simulink program?

Compressed air storage system is modeled by MATLAB/Simulink program for isothermal condition. The flow diagram of the system is shown in Fig. 43.2. Both of the pistons are used for compressing and expanding phases. As one of them compresses the air, the other expands and sucks the air from atmosphere.

Can compressed air be used to store energy?

Using compressed air to store energy is one of the energy storage methods. In this study, a small scale compressed air energy storage (CAES) system is designed and modeled. The energy storage capacity of designed CAES system is about 2 kW.

What is a small scale compressed air energy storage system?

In this study, a small scale compressed air energy storage (CAES) system is designed and modeled. The energy storage capacity of designed CAES system is about 2 kW. The system contains a hydraulic pump unit, expansion–compression liquid pistons, valves, a tank, and a control unit.

Can compressed air energy storage systems work with wind energy?

The use of compressed air energy storage systems working with wind energy was discussed in several studies [7, 8]. Grazzini and Milazzo did thermodynamic analysis for a CAES system working under adiabatic condition.

Can a liquid piston gas compression system be simulated by MATLAB/Simulink?

Van de Ven and Li are investigated liquid piston gas compression systems in detail. In this study, a mathematical model is constructed for the designed small scale compressed air energy storage system and simulated by MATLAB/Simulink program. Pressure changes in pistons and the tank are investigated.

What is a compressed air system model?

The model accounts for thermodynamic and fluid dynamic interactions within the compressed air system under a variety of operating conditions and control strategies. The system model is composed of component models that are linked to form the compressed air system. Each component model is based on relations that involve the key system variables.
