Read more online at http://energystorage.org/energy-storage/faq. Why do we need energy storage? The primary benefits are: Risk of Power Outages: Today’s electricity grid is increasingly vulnerable to […]
Read More →Advanced-adiabatic compressed air energy storage (AA-CAES) is an evolution of traditional CAES, designed to deliver higher efficiencies via a zero-carbon process. Operation is similar to traditional CAES in that energy is stored by compressing air with turbomachinery and storing in an underground cavern. The difference lies in the treatment of the heat of compression. Read […]
