Abstract:Compressed air energy storage (CAES) technology has attracted growing attention because of the demand for load shifting and electricity cost reduction in energy‐intensive industries. To increase the round‐trip efficiency and energy storage density and simplify the structure of advanced adiabatic CAES (AA‐CAES) systems, a waste heat‐assisted CAES (WH‐CAES) design integrating a tube‐in‐tube thermal energy storage unit and an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) is described herein. Thermodynamic models of the proposed WH… Show more
