In this work the use of compressed air energy storage with air injection (CAES-AI) concept and supercharging with inlet chilling (CAES-IC) concept are discussed and analyzed. The flexibility of these technologies provides unique load management of energy. Performance is calculated for each...

An Energy Bag is a cable-reinforced fabric vessel that is anchored to the sea (or lake) bed at significant depths to be used for underwater compressed air energy storage. In 2011 and 2012, three prototype sub-scale Energy Bags have been tested underwater in the first such tests of their kind. In...

Remote communities beyond the reach of conventional electricity grids primarily rely on diesel generators (DG) to supply electricity. The systems in these communities are costly to operate because of the high price of transporting diesel to remote areas, and the low overall efficiencies caused...
