As the world shifts toward renewable energy, one major challenge remains: efficient energy storage. An EU-funded research team is exploring the use of compressed air to store excess energy collected from solar panels.
The concept and purpose of compressed air energy storage (CAES) focus on storing surplus energy generated from renewable sources, such as wind and solar energy. This capability ensures that energy is available during periods of high demand while mitigating the environmental impact of conventional energy sources.
In the system they are developing, low-cost renewable electricity is used to compress air for storage during the day, while concentrated solar power feeds a thermal energy storage system. When energy demand is high, the thermal energy is used to heat the compressed air as it is released from storage to drive turbines.
Store the compressed air in facilities. Release the stored energy when demand increases. This innovative energy storage approach employs advanced CAES technology to compress air efficiently. The stored air remains under high pressure in cavernous formations or specialized tanks, ensuring energy efficiency.
The results demonstrate that electricity storage efficiency, round-trip efficiency, and exergy efficiency can reach 70.2%, 61%, and 50%, respectively. Therefore, the proposed system has promising prospects in cities with abundant solar resources owing to its high efficiency and the ability to jointly supply multiple energy needs. 1. Introduction
