Compressed-air energy storage

OverviewHistoryTypesCompressors and expandersStorageEnvironmental ImpactProjectsStorage thermodynamics

Citywide compressed air energy systems for delivering mechanical power directly via compressed air have been built since 1870. Cities such as Paris, France; Birmingham, England; Dresden, Rixdorf, and Offenbach, Germany; and Buenos Aires, Argentina, installed such systems. Victor Popp constructed the first systems to power clocks by sending a pulse of air every minute to change their pointer arms. They quickly evolved to deliver power to homes and industries. As of 1896, the Paris system had 2.2 MW of

Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES)

Size equates to MW-hrs of storage. Rule of thumb is 0.8psi max cavern pressure per ft of depth to top of salt. So, 3200 ft to top of salt, then 2560 psi max holding pressure. Domal salt preferred over salt
