Compressed Air Energy Storage System Control and Performance Assessment Using Energy Harvested Index

Compressed Air Energy Storage System Control and Performance Assessment Using Energy Harvested Index

In this paper a new concept for control and performance assessment of compressed air energy storage (CAES) systems in a hybrid energy system is introduced. The proposed criterion, based on the concept of energy harvest index (HEI), measures the capability of a storage system to capture renewable energy. The overall efficiency of the CAES system and optimum control and design from the technical ...

Dynamic Modelling of a Compressed Air Energy Storage System in a Grid Connected Photovoltaic Plant

The use of photovoltaic (PV) cells in domestic and industrial applications has grown rapidly through the recent years. Constructing PV plants is a very smart measure to produce free electricity in large scales, especially in the countries with higher solar irradiation potential. On the other hand, compressed air energy storage (CAES) has already been proposed to be employed for energy storage a...

Adiabatic compressed air energy storage – a study on dynamic performance with thermal energy storage

Up to day, 70% of the gross electricity (~ 20000 TWh) is produced via fossil fuel; to reduce this share and abate CO2 emissions the energy system will face a dramatic change in the near future consisting in a significant introduction of intermittent renewable energy sources. The implementation of this step change will be possible only through efficient and economic grid-scale electrical energy ...
