Appendix B presents an overview of the theoretical background on compressed air energy storage. Most compressed air energy storage systems addressed in literature are large-scale systems of above 100 MW which most of the time use depleted mines as the cavity to store the high pressure fluid.
The air, which is pressurized, is kept in volumes, and when demand of electricity is high, the pressurized air is used to run turbines to produce electricity . There are three main types used to deal with heat in compressed air energy storage system .
Air is compressed using compressors and is stored in the storage tanks. Over the surface storage tanks are used for lower rating and underground storage tanks are preferred in case of very high capacity plants. The compressor is run by the motor generator to which the excess available energy is fed.
Compressed air storage Compressed air can be stored either at constant volume (isochoric) or at constant pressure (isobaric). In case of constant volume storage, the pressure varies and thus indicates the state of charge. The most common example of isochoric storage is a steel pressure vessel or, at large scale, a salt cavern.
