“…The CAES efficiency must be improved to use it in energy recovery systems as reported in the literature (Luo, et al, 2016), (Shakeri, Soltanzadeh, Berson, & Sharp, 2014), (Luo, Wang, Dooner, & Clarke, 2015), (Zhao, Wu, Hu, Xu, & Rasmussen, 2015), (Beaudin, Zareipour, Schellenberglabe, & Rosehart, 2010), (Budt, Wolf, Span, & Yan, 2016). The design of the system is enhanced when the irreversibilities and cost analysis are taken into account, hence, for future works exergy and thermoeconomic analysis will be considered.…”

“…A-CAES combined with Thermal Energy Storage (TES) is designed to extract heat from the stage of air compression and store it in an adiabatic reservoir. The heat is then reused before the air expansion and electricity generation process (Luo, et al, 2016), (Shakeri, Soltanzadeh, Berson, & Sharp, 2014), (Luo, Wang, Dooner, & Clarke, 2015), (Zhao, Wu, Hu, Xu, & Rasmussen, 2015), (Beaudin, Zareipour, Schellenberglabe, & Rosehart, 2010). This work is focused in a transient energy analysis of every component to give a better understanding of the performance of a simple CAES system by the use of a numerical analysis.…”

“…CAES systems are distinguished as large-scale, low cost, long lifetime and good established operation experience compared with other energy storage methods. CAES is considered as one of the cheapest EES technologies in terms of capital cost ($/kWh) and maintenance cost ($/kW-year) (Akinyele & Rayudu, 2014), (Luo, et al, 2016), (Shakeri, Soltanzadeh, Berson, & Sharp, 2014). CAES systems work during the periods of low power demand, the surplus electricity drives a motor/generator unit in turn to run a compressor in order to inject air into a storage vessel, which can be an underground cavern or above ground tank.…”

“…Luo et al built an AA-CAES model with a low-temperature thermal storage system ( Figure 7), and the parameters of the whole system were optimized by simulation study [32]. From the study of Liu et al, it is shown that the exhaust temperature is still too high from the AA-CAES low pressure turbine, causing a lot of waste, and an approach was proposed for improvement of exergy efficiency of AA-CEAS systems [33].…”

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 technology developments in compressed air energy storage (CAES) and the future direction of the technology development in this area. Compared with other energy storage technologies, CAES is proven to be a clean and sustainable type of energy storage with the unique features of high capacity and long-duration of the storage. Its scale and cost are similar to pumped hydroelectric storage (PHS), thus CAES has attracted much attention in recent years while further development for PHS is restricted by the availability of suitable geological locations. The paper presents the state-of-the-art of current CAES technology development, analyses the major technological barriers/weaknesses and proposes suggestions for future technology development. This paper should provide a useful reference for CAES technology research and development strategy.

With the blossoming of intermittent energy, compressed air energy storage (CAES) has attracted much attention as a potential largescale energy storage technology. Compared with caverns as storage vessels, compressed air energy storage in aquifers (CAESA) has the advantages of wide availability and lower costs. The wellbore can play an important role as the energy transfer mechanism between the surroundings and the air in CAESA system. In this paper, we investigated the influences of the well screen length on CAESA system performance using an integrated wellbore-reservoir simulator (T2WELL/EOS3). The results showed that the well screen length can affect the distribution of the initial gas bubble and that a system with a fully penetrating wellbore can obtain acceptably stable pressurized air and better energy efficiencies. Subsequently, we investigated the impact of the energy storage scale and the target aquifer depth on the performance of a CAESA system using a fully penetrating wellbore. The simulation results demonstrated that larger energy storage scales exhibit better performances of CAESA systems. In addition, deeper target aquifer systems, which could decrease the energy loss by larger storage density and higher temperature in surrounding formation, can obtain better energy efficiencies.
