Transmission of Power by compressed Air

The value of compressed air energy storage with wind in transmission-constrained electric power systems

In this work, we examine the potential advantages of co-locating wind and energy storage to increase transmission utilization and decrease transmission costs. Co-location of wind and storage decreases transmission requirements, but also decreases the economic value of energy storage compared to locating energy storage at the load. This represents a tradeoff which we examine to estimate the tran...

Rectal perforation by compressed air

As the use of compressed air in industrial work has increased, so has the risk of associated pneumatic injury from its improper use. However, damage of large intestine caused by compressed air is uncommon. Herein a case of pneumatic rupture of the rectum is described. The patient was admitted to the Emergency Room complaining of abdominal pain and distension. His colleague triggered a compresse...

Day-ahead economic dispatch of coupled desalinated water and power grids with participation of compressed air energy storages

Nowadays, water and electricity are closely interdependent essential sources in human life that affect socio-economic growth and prosperity. In other words, electricity is a fundamental source to supply a seawater desalination process, while fresh water is used for cooling this power plant. Therefore, mutual vulnerability of water treatment and power generation systems is growing because of inc...

Colon Barotrauma Caused by Compressed Air

men and anus, and was admitted to the emergency room. At admission, his blood pressure was 120/70 mmHg, pulse rate was 74/minute, respiratory rate was 20/minute, and body temperature was 36.6C. On physical examination, the abdomen was slightly distended and bowel sounds were decreased. He was examined mild to moderate direct tenderness diffused from the low abdomen, but no rebound tenderness. H...
