The application scenarios and site selection range of compressed air energy storage (CAES) can be effectively expanded through underwater air storage
which provides large-scale
long-term energy storage support for the exploitation of deep-sea and far-offshore wind power resources and the construction of large-scale integrated hydro-wind-solar-storage new energy bases. Firstly
the technical principles and application scenarios of underwater compressed air energy storage were introduced
and the characteristics of constant pressure and complete inflation/deflation of underwater air storage
along with its advantages of high efficiency
flexibility
and safety
were analyzed. Then
an experimental setup utilizing a pressurized water tank was constructed to simulate the underwater environment. The deployment time and energy conversion efficiency of underwater flexible air storage bag were analyzed through experimental tests and theoretical calculations conducted on different water bodies
including seawater
lake water
salt lakes
and reservoirs. Results indicate that
for air storage bag
the deployment time is longer and the energy storage capacity is higher in water bodies with higher density. The energy conversion efficiency during the compression process increases with the rise in water density
the increase in underwater temperature
the decrease in ambient air temperature
and the increase in water depth.
