An overview of potential benefits and limitations of Compressed Air Energy Storage in abandoned coal mines

Overview of Compressed Air Energy Storage and Technology Development

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 give an overview of the current tech...

Estimating Limits for the Geothermal Energy Potential of Abandoned Underground Coal Mines: A Simple Methodology

Flooded mine workings have good potential as low-enthalpy geothermal resources, which could be used for heating and cooling purposes, thus making use of the mines long after mining activity itself ceases. It would be useful to estimate the scale of the geothermal potential represented by abandoned and flooded underground mines in Europe. From a few practical considerations, a procedure has been...

An Overview of Novel Energy Storage Systems with Air Compression Method

With the increasing use of renewable energy systems and the volatility of access to this type of energy, needs energy storage systems to sustain the system. In the meantime, energy storage systems have distinct characteristics and applications, one of which is the compressed air energy storage system. In the present paper, the newest researches and novel systems in the field of energy storage b...
