Pilot-scale demonstration of advanced adiabatic compressed air energy storage, Part 1: Plant description and tests with sensible thermal-energy ...
Experimental and numerical results from the world''s first advanced adiabatic compressed air energy storage (AA-CAES) pilot-scale plant are presented. The plant was built in an unused tunnel with a diameter of 4.9 m in which two concrete plugs delimited a mostly unlined cavern of 120 m length.
