A design analysis for a shaped liquid piston compression chamber for application to Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) is presented. The CAES stores energy (e.g. from wind turbines) by compressing air during low power demand periods, liberating it by expanding compressed air during high power demand periods [1].

The Thermal Energy Storage (TES) units store thermal exergy removed from air post-compression, and later deliver it to be recombined prior to expansion. Ideally, the TES unit would operate without exergy destruction due to mixing heat at different temperatures, i.e., perfect thermal-stratification.
In detail, the PCM balls in packed-bed LTES are solid with a temperature of 290.15 K while the inlet temperature of air is 556.7 K at the initial stage of the compression process. As time goes on, the heat is stored by PCM balls in a sensible form before PCM balls in each stage reach their melting temperature.
Finally, it is concluded that the compressor costs are the most relevant costs for CO2 compression, but the storage tank costs are the most relevant in the case of H2. Simulation hypothesis.
Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is a promising large-scale energy storage technology to mitigate the fluctuations and intermittence of renewable energies. The application of latent thermal energy storage (LTES) using phase change materials (PCM) to ...
A different type of CAES that aims to eliminate the need of fuel combustion, known as Advanced Adiabatic Compressed Air Energy Storage (AA-CAES), has recently been developed. AA-CAES stores the heat created during the initial air compression for use in the electricity generation section of the cycle. While this would entirely eliminate the need ...
In recent years, liquid air energy storage (LAES) has gained prominence as an alternative to existing large-scale electrical energy storage solutions such as compressed air (CAES) and pumped hydro energy storage (PHES), especially in the context of medium-to-long-term storage. LAES offers a high volumetric energy density, …

Compressed-air energy storage (CAES) is a way to store energy for later use using compressed air. At a utility scale, energy generated during periods of low demand can be released during peak load periods. The first utility-scale CAES project was in the Huntorf power plant in Elsfleth, Germany, and is still operational . The Huntorf plant was initially developed as a load balancer for fossil-fuel-generated electricity

Compressed air energy storage (CAES) has attracted worldwide attention due to the advantages of dealing with the intermittent problem of renewable energy. However, CAES is plagued by inadequate utilisation of the compression heat and waste heat in flue gas, and requires further improvement.
1.7) Diaphragm Compressor. This type of air compressor is a kind of conservative piston compressor. In these compressors, gas or air compression causes when the flexible diaphragm moves, not the intake component. The forward and backward motion of the diaphragm handles with the help of a crankshaft and a rod mechanism.

Patil et al. [31] designed an ocean-compressed air energy storage (OCAES) system that uses ocean energy to drive a pump to compress air and store energy. Those studies and their potential industrial applications pave the way for further research for efficient and feasible CAES systems.
The energy storage process includes three compressors (Com1, Com2, Com3), intercoolers and aftercooler (HX1, HX2, HX3), an air storage tank (AST), a hot water storage tank (HWT), and pumps. The air enters the compressors and undergoes a three-stage compression.
