Can a compressed air energy storage system be integrated with a water electrolysis system?

Energy, exergy, economic, and parametric analyses are deeply evaluated. In this paper, a novel compressed air energy storage system is proposed, integrated with a water electrolysis system and an H 2 -fueled solid oxide fuel cell-gas turbine-steam turbine combined cycle system.

How do compressed air storage systems use energy?

The modeled compressed air storage systems use both electrical energy (to compress air and possibly to generate hydrogen) and heating energy provided by natural gas (only conventional CAES). We use three metrics to compare their energy use: heat rate, work ratio, and roundtrip exergy efficiency (storage efficiency).

Can a water electrolysis system improve energy laddering?

This study proposes an integrated system that combines a CAES system, a water electrolysis system, and an H 2 -fueled SOFC-GT-ST system. Through the overall integration of each system, energy laddering is achieved, with the efficiency of the CAES system being improved. Thermodynamic and economic analysis of the integrated system was conducted.

Can water electrolysis replace aeration in activated sludge?

A novel energy shifting process is proposed here using compressed and stored oxygen produced by water electrolysis and used in the activated sludge process, replacing traditional aeration in the wastewater treatment plant and eliminating the high energy consuming blowers supplying air to submerged fine bubble diffusers.

How does a water electrolysis system work?

During the charging time, the water electrolysis system and the CAES system store the electrical energy separately.

What is a conventional compressed air energy storage system?

Schematic of a generic conventional compressed air energy storage (CAES) system. The prospects for the conventional CAES technology are poor in low-carbon grids [2,6–8]. Fossil fuel (typically natural gas) combustion is needed to provide heat to prevent freezing of the moisture present in the expanding air .
