With the increasing penetration of renewable energy into energy market, it is urgent to solve the problem of fluctuations of renewable energy sources (RES). Energy storage technology is regarded as one method to cope with the unstable nature of RES. One of these technologies is compressed air...

As the penetration of renewable energy sources (RES) into energy market is becoming increasingly evident, it is urgent to deal with the problem of fluctuations of RES. Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES), as one of energy storage technologies aiming at this problem, has excellent...

Offshore applications allow to exploit different renewable energy sources (wave, wind, solar) that are complementary each other, due to their statistical yearly distributions.

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...

A thermodynamic analysis is presented for an energy storage system without combustion and including thermal recuperation (adiabatic compressed air energy strong (CAES)). The storage volume is optimized and a system layout with thermal storage (TES) and variable configuration is designed. The...

Storage devices can provide several grid services, however it is challenging to quantify the value of providing several services and to optimally allocate storage resources to maximize value. We develop a co-optimized Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) dispatch model to characterize the value...

The planet's resources are finite and must be used rationally and responsibly to ensure a sustainable economy. On the basis of modern innovations and technologies, new sources of consumption or new ways to reduce the environmental impact of consumption can be found. Changes in the external...
