With an increasing capacity of wind energy globally, wind-driven Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) technology has gained significant momentum in recent years. However, unlike traditional CAES systems, a wind-driven CAES system operates with more frequent fluctuations due to the intermittent nature of wind power.
As mentioned earlier, following the charging process, compressed air is stored under high-pressure . Thus, finding a location with high wind potential and suitable geologies for CAES storage components is critical for wind-CAES integration. Using an artificial tank for large-scale CAES storage proved not to be economically viable .
If the waste heat is not recovered during the compression period and compressed air is heated with (external sources such as) fossil fuels, the system is called a diabatic compressed air energy storage system (D-CAES) . This type of CAES system still uses fossil fuels, and thus, is not environmentally friendly .
Zhao et al. proposed a Wind/CAES system combined with a flywheel energy storage system (FESS). Rahmanifard et al. investigated the integration of a Wind/CAES system with a geothermal system. They analyzed different design/sizing scenarios. Several studies analyzed the integration of Wind/CAES with solar energy.
Long-duration energy storage systems, like those developed by Toronto-based Hydrostor Inc., store energy for extended periods. Hydrostor's systems store energy underground in the form of compressed air, which can be released to produce electricity for eight hours or longer.
To ensure the stability, reliability, and dependability of power systems with significant wind capacity, the incorporation of energy storage systems (ESSs) is crucial . Various types of ESSs are available today, like batteries, flywheels, pumped hydro, fuel cells, etc. .
