A detailed understanding of compressed air energy storage systems paired with an in-depth comprehension of various expansion stages of air will form the basis for any selection criteria. The overall process of expansion is also crucial, so is fixing the operating pressure conditions as well as temperatures and flow rates.
The performance of compressed air energy storage systems is centred round the efficiency of the compressors and expanders. It is also important to determine the losses in the system as energy transfer occurs on these components. There are several compression and expansion stages: from the charging, to the discharging phases of the storage system.
