The wind integrated multi-energy systems (MES) have gained significant momentum in recent years on account of their self-sufficiency and attractive clean attributes. This study puts forward a bi-level multi-follower optimization framework to the tactical response MES wholesale electricity market (WEM) natural gas (NGM) as price setter. At upper level, endeavors minimize overall operational cost...

This paper describes modeling and simulation of air compressor energy use to estimate energy savings in compressed air systems from air use reduction and other changes. The method uses measured power signatures and other compressor parameters as inputs to calculate various performance metrics and estimate energy savings. To enable recognition of control mode from measured power data, examples o...

The power draw characteristics of air compressors are primarily determined by the type of compressor control and the relationship between the compressor’s output capacity and the compressed air demand in the plant. In this paper, we review the most common types of compressor control for small reciprocating and rotary air compressors, and derive relations for estimating compressed air output as ...

Liquid air energy storage (LAES) is a novel technology for grid scale electrical energy storage in the form of liquid air. At commercial scale LAES rated output power is expected in the range 10 to 100 MWe, while the storage capacity of the order of 100s of MWhe. LAES comprises three processes: charging, consisting in air liquefaction; storage, involving preservation of air in liquid form; and ...

Coordinated operation of various energy sources has drawn the attention many power producers worldwide. In this paper, a Concentrating Solar Power Plant (CSPP) along with wind station, Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) unit, and Demand Response Provider (DRP) constitute considered Hybrid Producer (HPP). regard, paper deals optimal participation mentioned HPP in Day-Ahead (DA), intraday elect...

In recent years, energy engineers have examined industrial compressed air systems looking for opportunities to reduce the energy consumption, which in turn leads to operating cost savings. After identifying possible actions that might lead to a reduction in energy usage, it is necessary to perform an analysis to determine the projected energy and cost savings, and to estimate the cost of implem...
