The special thing about compressed air storage is that the air heats up strongly when being compressed from atmospheric pressure to a storage pressure of approx. 1,015 psia (70 bar). Standard multistage air compressors use inter- and after-coolers to reduce discharge temperatures to 300/350°F (149/177°C) and cavern injection air temperature
In this regard, an innovative cogeneration concept based on compressed air energy storage with post-combusting carbon dioxide capture is proposed in the present article to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
