Compressed air energy storage(CAES) technologies have garnered widespread attention due to their large scale
high efficiency
and environmental friendliness. Among them
the non-combustion compressed air energy storage technology is mature
and produces no carbon emissions during operation. There are already several adiabatic non-combustion compressed air energy storage power stations in operation
under construction
and in planning in China. However
the design parameters of the CAES system lack a unified standardization system
which poses many challenges in system design and performance optimization of CAES. To solve this problem
the design of medium-temperature and high-temperature thermal energy storage system schemes for a 200 MW class CAES system is presented
the key equipment parameters and system boundary conditions are determined. Moreover
the performance and technical economy of the medium-and high-temperature thermal energy storage system schemes is compared. The results show that
the high-temperature thermal energy storage system is superior to the medium-temperature thermal energy storage system in performance indicators
but it has a higher investment cost
indicating that when choosing the thermal energy storage technology route for large-capacity CAES systems
it is necessary to consider comprehensively based on specific application scenarios and economic budgets.
