A compressed air energy storage (CAES) project in Hubei, China, has come online, with 300MW/1,500MWh of capacity. The 5-hour duration project, called Hubei Yingchang, was built in two years with a total investment of CNY1.95 billion (US$270 million) and uses abandoned salt mines in the Yingcheng area of Hubei, China’s sixth-most populous province.
The $207.8 million energy storage power station has a capacity of 300 MW/1,800 MWh and uses an underground salt cave. Chinese developer ZCGN has completed the construction of a 300 MW compressed air energy storage (CAES) facility in Feicheng, China's Shandong province. The company said the storage plant is the world's largest CAES system to date.
The number of sites available for compressed air energy storage is higher compared to those of pumped hydro [, ]. Porous rocks and cavern reservoirs are also ideal storage sites for CAES. Gas storage locations are capable of being used as sites for storage of compressed air .
Micro-scale compressed air energy systems are also ideal for multipurpose systems. Micro-scale compressed air energy storage systems integrated to renewable energy systems were also investigated to ascertain the air cycle heating, as well as the cooling .
Modularity of compressed air energy storage systems is another key issue that needs further investigation in other to make them ideal for various applications. The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.
For the advanced adiabatic compressed air energy storage system depicted in Fig. 11, compression of air is done at a pressure of 2.4 bars, followed by rapid cooling. There is considerable waste of heat caused by the exergy of the compressed air. This occurs due to two factors.
