The intermittency of renewable energy sources is making increased
deployment of storage technology necessary. Technologies are needed
with high round-trip efficiency and at low cost to allow renewables
to undercut fossil fuels. The cost of lithium batteries has fallen,
but producing them comes with a substantial carbon footprint, as
well as a cost to the local environment. Compressed air energy
storage (CAES) uses excess electricity, particularly from wind
farms, to compress air. Re-expansion of the air then drives
machinery to recoup the electric power. Prototypes have capacities
of several hundred MW. Challenges lie in conserving the thermal
energy associated with compressing air and leakage of that heat,
materials, power electronics, connection with the power generator,
and grid integration. This comprehensive book provides a systematic
overview of the current state of CAES technology. After an
introduction to motivation and principles, the key components are
covered, and then the principal types of systems in the order of
technical maturity: diabatic, adiabatic, and isothermal. Experts
from industry write about their experiences with existing major
systems and prototypes. Economic aspects, power electronics and
machinery, as well as special systems for offshore applications,
are dealt with. Researchers in academia and industry alike, in
particular at energy storage technology manufacturers and
utilities, as well as advanced students and energy experts in think
tanks will find this work valuable reading.
