Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) facilities can be built in locations that have suitable geological formations for storing compressed air. Ideal sites typically include underground caverns, such as salt domes, depleted natural gas fields, or aquifers, which can effectively contain the high-pressure air.
In Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES), the clever management of thermal energy is the wit behind the solution, as it plays a crucial role in the system’s efficiency and overall performance. During the compression process, air is compressed and heated due to the increase in pressure. This heat can be managed in one of two ways:
Compressed air energy storage may be stored in undersea caves in Northern Ireland. In order to achieve a near- thermodynamically-reversible process so that most of the energy is saved in the system and can be retrieved, and losses are kept negligible, a near-reversible isothermal process or an isentropic process is desired.
