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 .
The main limitation for this technology has to do with the start up, which is currently between 10 and 15 min because of the thermal stress being high. The air is first compressed to 2.4 bars during the first stage of compression. Medium temperature adiabatic compressed air energy storage system depicted in Fig. 13. Fig. 13.
More than 70% efficiency (from literature) was also obtained when thermal energy storage was also integrated in adiabatic CAES systems . With the use of a radial compressor, an adiabatic compressed air storage system operating at a lower temperature was also investigated.
One of the main advantages of Compressed Air Energy Storage systems is that they can be integrated with renewable sources of energy, such as wind or solar power.
One way of enhancing the exergy storage capacity per unit mass of air for adiabatic compressed air energy storage system is by preheating the air prior to compression, as depicted in Fig. 9. The specific volume of the air increases due to an increase in air temperature before the compression stage.
The presence of water in compressed air energy storage systems improves the efficiency of the system, hence the reason for water vapour being injected into the system [, ]. This water vapour undergoes condensation during cooling in the heat exchangers or the thermal energy system [, ].
