Dynamic Modelling of a Compressed Air Energy Storage System in a Grid Connected Photovoltaic Plant

The use of photovoltaic (PV) cells in domestic and industrial applications has grown rapidly through the recent years. Constructing PV plants is a very smart measure to produce free electricity in large scales, especially in the countries with higher solar irradiation potential. On the other hand, compressed air energy storage (CAES) has already been proposed to be employed for energy storage a...

Dynamic Simulation of Compressed Air Systems

In recent years, energy engineers have examined industrial compressed air systems looking for opportunities to reduce the energy consumption, which in turn leads to operating cost savings. After identifying possible actions that might lead to a reduction in energy usage, it is necessary to perform an analysis to determine the projected energy and cost savings, and to estimate the cost of implem...

The value of compressed air energy storage with wind in transmission-constrained electric power systems

In this work, we examine the potential advantages of co-locating wind and energy storage to increase transmission utilization and decrease transmission costs. Co-location of wind and storage decreases transmission requirements, but also decreases the economic value of energy storage compared to locating energy storage at the load. This represents a tradeoff which we examine to estimate the tran...
