Underwater Compressed Air Energy Storage
Abstract
At the center of every compressed air energy storage installation is the vessel, or set of vessels, that retains the high-pressure air. Normally, high-pressure air storage also dominates the cost of the installation, and its characteristics play a key role in determining performance. Underwater storage of pressurized air is characterized by three important attributes: (1) it has the potential to achieve very low cost per unit of energy stored, (2) it naturally tends to exhibit an isobaric (constant pressure) characteristic of pressure versus fill-level, and (3) in stark contrast ...
