The simplest way to reuse the temperature related part of the exergy of the compressed air is to store the hot air itself inside a combined thermal energy and compressed air storage volume (Fig. 18a). Due to the high temperatures already reached at rather low pressure ratios these concepts require highly temperature resistant storage volumes.
Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) facilities can be built in locations that have suitable geological formations for storing compressed air. Ideal sites typically include underground caverns, such as salt domes, depleted natural gas fields, or aquifers, which can effectively contain the high-pressure air.
Siemens Energy Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is a comprehensive, proven, grid-scale energy storage solution. We support projects from conceptual design through commercial operation and beyond.
By then the patent application “Means for Storing Fluids for Power Generation” was submitted by F.W. Gay to the US Patent Office . However, until the late 1960s the development of compressed air energy storage (CAES) was pursued neither in science nor in industry. This can be ascribed to the lack of necessity for grid connected energy storage.
