These technologies that adjust and regulate the air flow are reviewed and summarized, which are throttling valve control, ejector, guided vane adjustment, switching expansion reducing and some others. The characteristics and effect to the CAES system are also discussed.

6 FAQs about [Control strategy of compressed air energy storage system]

Can distributed compressed air energy storage systems maximize profit?

This study aims at presenting a devised operational control strategy applied to distributed compressed air energy storage systems, as well as assessing the best scenario for optimal utilization of grid-integrated renewable energy sources at small scales in dynamic electricity markets. Profit maximization for the end consumer is the major goal.

What is compressed air energy storage?

Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is one of the many energy storage options that can store electric energy in the form of potential energy (compressed air) and can be deployed near central power plants or distribution centers. In response to demand, the stored energy can be discharged by expanding the stored air with a turboexpander generator.

What is a large-scale compressed air energy storage system?

Large-scale compressed air energy storage (CAES) systems can be regarded as conventional technology. They have certain environmental advantages if compared to pumped hydro energy storage and allow for a much larger number of potential sites.

How do distributed small-scale compressed air energy storage systems work?

Distributed small-scale compressed air energy storage systems are possible to build and apply in ways similar to electrical batteries. An iterative algorithm has been used, which attempts to maximize profits by properly managing the stored energy.

What are the main components of a compressed air system?

The largest component in such systems is the storage medium for the compressed air. This means that higher pressure storage enables reduced volume and higher energy density.

What is adiabatic compressed air energy storage system (a-CAES)?

The adiabatic compressed air energy storage system (A-CAES) is promising to match the cooling, heating, and electric load of a typical residential area in different seasons by adjusting the trigeneration, which can increase the efficiency of energy utilization . Fig. 1.
