6 FAQs about [Cave energy storage system]

Are underground salt caverns suitable for compressed air energy storage?

of underground salt caverns for compressed air energy storage at home and abroad. control, and evaluates the factors af fecting cavern tightness and wellbore integrity. The control and detection, and tubing corrosion and control are considered.

What is the storage capacity of air exergy in the cavern?

Depending on different CAES systems and operations, storage capacity of air exergy in the cavern varies. In this section, taking the Huntorf CAES plant as a case study, exergy storage capacity of the compressed air in the cavern are evaluated in different operational scenarios and heat transfer conditions.

Does a cavern have a total exergy capacity and power rating?

Thermodynamic responses of the compressed air in the cavern determine the total exergy capacity and power rating of the CAES system. This investigation considers two cavern operation modes of storing compressed air, including uncompensated isochoric air storage and compensated isobaric air storage.

What is a cavern-based CAES system?

Therefore, for a cavern-based CAES system, the storage capacity of the compressed air in a cavern, and the identification of an appropriate cavern volume are crucial for accommodating the matched compressed air energy to deliver the designed rate of power and energy at the plant planning and design stage.

Does a salt cavern-based CAES system have exergy storage capacity?

The study presents a methodology to investigate the exergy storage capacity of a salt cavern-based CAES system. Two operational scenarios of the cavern and three heat transfer conditions are investigated. In an uncompensated cavern, isochoric operation of compressed air is assumed.

How much exergy can a cavern store?

The total maximum exergy storage capacity of the underground facility is between 29,583 to 40,401 MW·h when the cavern is fully charged for application of CAES. Estimating the realistic heat transfer using the CHT condition, it indicates the approximated 35,271 MW·h can be stored in the Hornsea/Atwick cavern facility.
