10mw compressed air energy storage technology

What is compressed air energy storage?

Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is one of the many energy storage options that can store electric energy in the form of potential energy (compressed air) and can be deployed near central power plants or distribution centers. In response to demand, the stored energy can be discharged by expanding the stored air with a turboexpander generator.

Who developed the Feicheng 10 MW compressed air energy storage power station?

The Feicheng 10 MW compressed air energy storage power station equipment was developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

How can compressed air energy storage improve the stability of China's power grid?

The intermittent nature of renewable energy poses challenges to the stability of the existing power grid. Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) that stores energy in the form of high-pressure air has the potential to deal with the unstable supply of renewable energy at large scale in China.

Which energy storage technology is most suitable for large-scale energy storage?

Among the available energy storage technologies, Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) has proved to be the most suitable technology for large-scale energy storage, in addition to PHES .

Can compressed air energy storage improve the profitability of existing power plants?

Linden Svd, Patel M. New compressed air energy storage concept improves the profitability of existing simple cycle, combined cycle, wind energy, and landfill gas power plants. In: Proceedings of ASME Turbo Expo 2004: Power for Land, Sea, and Air; 2004 Jun 14–17; Vienna, Austria. ASME; 2004. p. 103–10. F. He, Y. Xu, X. Zhang, C. Liu, H. Chen

Can a 10 MW gas pipeline be used for high-pressure air storage?

In 2016, the IET of Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a 10 MW integrated test and validation platform for CAES, where the gas pipeline was adopted for high-pressure air storage (Fig. 9). It has a maximum energy storage capacity of 40 MWh, a power measurement range of 0–10 MW, and a pressure measurement range of 0–10 MPa.
