An innovative s olar‐powered natural g as‐based compressed air energy storage system integrated with a liquefied air power cycle
Open accessPublished version of a preprint
Abstract
A novel solar-based compressed air energy storage system is developed and analyzed in this paper. The integrated system includes a multi-stage air compression unit, thermal oil loop, multi-stage gas turbine unit, high-temperature molten salt-based solar power tower unit, liquefied air power cycle, thermoelectric generator, and liquefied natural gas (LNG) regasification unit. A eutectic mixture of carbonate salt is used for thermal energy storage in the solar subsystem. Energy, exergy, and economic analyses are performed to evaluate the performance of the proposed system. A parametric study investigates the effects of important parameters on the performance of the integrated system. The proposed system stores 356 MWh of grid electricity during the charging mode. Considering all the available energy sources, the energy output of the integrated system is 797.6 MWh. Energy and exergy efficiencies of the integrated system are 55.3% and 46.4%, respectively. The results show that the highest contributor to the overall exergy destruction rate of the integrated system is the combustion chamber unit. Finally, levelized cost of electricity is evaluated as 12.4 ¢/kWh.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
