Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is a buffer bank for unstable new energy sources and traditional power grids. The stability of a CAES cavern is a key issue to cavern safety. However, the stability of a cavern from an abandoned mining tunnel has not been well studied.
Abstract. A compressed air energy storage (CAES) system is an electricity storage technology under the category of mechanical energy storage (MES) systems, and is most appropriate for large-scale use and longer storage applications. In a CAES system, the surplus electricity to be stored is used to produce compressed air at high pressures.
Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) is a commercial, utility-scale technology that is suitable for providing long-duration energy storage. Underground air storage caverns are an important part of CAES. In this paper, an analytical solution for calculating air leakage and energy loss within underground caverns were proposed. …
The 110 MW McIntosh plant can operate for up to 26 h at full power. The compressed air is stored in a salt cavern. A recuperator is operated to reuse the exhaust heat energy. This reduces the fuel consumption by 22–25% and improves the cycle efficiency from ∼42% to ∼54%, in comparison with the Huntorf plant.
Principle. In compressed air closed shields the rotating cutterhead acts as the means of excavation whereas face support is ensured by compressed air at a sufficient level to balance the hydrostatic pressure of the ground. Debris is extracted from the pressurized excavation chamber using a ball valve-type rotary hopper and then conveyed to the ...
Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is an important method used for storing energy on both small and large scales. By compressing air and storing it under high pressure, energy can be saved for future use, often in the context of balancing electrical grids and managing variable power output from renewable energy sources like wind and …
The air is compressed using surplus energy and stores the energy in the form of compressed air. When energy demand exceeds supply, the air is released and heated to drive an expansion turbine to generate electricity. CAES systems in operation in Germany and the United States are both using salt domes with volumes of several 1 Mm …
As a commonly used type of compressed air storage, deep-buried tunnels may face different types of in-situ stress fields. When the tunnel is inflated and pressurized, its stability will be more complicated. We use ABAQUS finite element software to establish three-dimensional models of deep-buried compressed gas energy storage tunnels. By …
For example, Salgi and Lund [8] used the EnergyPLAN model to study compressed air energy storage (CAES) systems under the high-percentage renewable energy system in Denmark. Zhong et al.

Compressed-air energy storage (CAES) is a way to store energy for later use using compressed air. At a utility scale, energy generated during periods of low demand can be released during peak load periods. The first utility-scale CAES project was in the Huntorf power plant in Elsfleth, Germany, and is still operational . The Huntorf plant was initially developed as a load balancer for fossil-fuel-generated electricity
