OverviewTypesCompressors and expandersStorageHistoryProjectsStorage thermodynamicsVehicle applications
Compression of air creates heat; the air is warmer after compression. Expansion removes heat. If no extra heat is added, the air will be much colder after expansion. If the heat generated during compression can be stored and used during expansion, then the efficiency of the storage improves considerably. There are several ways in which a CAES system can deal with heat. Air storage can be adiabatic, diabatic, isothermal, or near-isothermal.
Compressed air energy storage systems may be efficient in storing unused energy, but large-scale applications have greater heat losses because the …
