An Adiabatic Compressed Air Energy Storage (ACAES) system based on a novel compression strategy and rotary valve design is proposed to store and release energy when needed to improve the performance and usability of wind and solar farms. Compared to existing ACAES system designs, the main potential advantages of the proposed system are the reduced cost, space, and simplicity. Detailed system modeling is provided and the simulation results are compared with experimental results. The paper then focuses on round-trip effi-ciency optimization to account for operational safety constraints and feasibility. Finally, a comparison study is presented to analyze the round-trip efficiency of the baseline ACAES system over the optimized system. (c) 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. 收起
