Process improvements and multi-objective optimization of compressed air energy storage (CAES) system

Haoshui Yu et al.

Summary: This study proposes two novel CAES systems and compares their thermodynamic performance with conventional CAES systems. The bottleneck of CAES plants is identified as the turbine inlet temperature and the maximum cavern storage pressure. The conflicting objectives are the round-trip efficiency and energy density. Pareto fronts are obtained based on a simulation-based multi-objective optimization framework developed in this study. The results show that the novel CAES systems improve the round-trip efficiency and provide potential solutions for CAES system performance improvement.

Comparative analysis on design and off-design performance of novel cascade CO2 combined cycles for gas turbine waste heat utilization

Gang Fan et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a novel two-stage cascaded supercritical CO2 and transcritical CO2 (sCO2-tCO2) power cycle for waste heat recovery of gas turbines (GT).
