Download or read book Evaluation of Turbomachinery for Compressed Air Energy Storage Plants written by and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of possible turbomachinery options for compressed air energy storage plants is presented. The plant is divided into four subsystems: a turbine system, compressor system, motor/generator, and an underground air storage reservoir. The turbine system comprises a high-pressure turbine and combustor, a low-pressure turbine and combustor, and a recuperator. The compressor system comprises a low-pressure compressor, booster compressor, intercoolers, and an aftercooler. A water-compensated mined cavern constitutes the underground air-storage reservoir. Plant performance is presented in terms of five parameters: specific air flow rate, specific heat rate, specific storage volume, specific compression rate, and overall plant efficiency. The capital and operating costs of the plant as a function of the turbomachinery options are presented. Design variables of the turbomachinery are the reservoir pressure and inlet gas temperatures to the turbines.

The plant is divided into the four subsystems: a turbine system, compressor system, motor/generator, and an underground air storage reservoir. The turbine system comprises a high-pressure turbine, a low-pressure turbine, two combustors, and a recuperator. The compressor system comprises a low-pressure compressor, high-pressure compressor, booster compressor, intercoolers, and an aftercooler. A water-compensated mined cavern constitutes the underground air-storage reservoir.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The application of reciprocating engines to compressed air energy storage (CAES) plants is presented. The expected advantages compared to plants using turbines and compressors are reduced reservoir size and cost, reduced compression energy, and increased overall plant efficiency. The performance of possible engine and plant configurations is presented. One configuration uses a reversible, reciprocating expander/compressor engine. Power generation results from engine operation as an internal-combustion expander; compression is accomplished using the same engine operating as a reciprocating compressor. Another possible configuration results when an internal-combustion engine is used as a high-pressure expander and a gas turbine is used as a low-pressure expander. Compression is accomplished using either separate turbocompressors or operating the high-pressure expander as a reversible-reciprocating compressor in series with a low-pressure turbocompressor. Capital and operating costs of plants using reciprocating engines are estimated and compared with that of turbine-based CAES plant designs. It is shown that using reciprocating engines can reduce capital and operating costs by about 11 and 8%, respectively, compared to a plant using available turbomachinery.
