Compressed air energy storage
El almacenamiento de energía mediante aire comprimido aprovecha la compresión de aire subterránea para una gestión energética eficiente y una respuesta eficaz a la demanda máxima.

El almacenamiento de energía mediante aire comprimido (CAES, por sus siglas en inglés) convierte el excedente de energía eléctrica en energía mecánica comprimiendo el aire en formaciones geológicas subterráneas (cavernas de sal, acuíferos o depósitos de roca porosa) y recuperándolo a través de turbinas de expansión durante los períodos de máxima demanda.

Thermodynamic performance hinges on compression and expansion staging, intercooling, recuperation, and thermal store integration, distinguishing diabatic, adiabatic, and isothermal variants with substantially different round-trip efficiencies. Geomechanical integrity of the storage medium, wellbore sealing, and cavern leaching processes govern long-term operational viability. Current research targets advanced adiabatic configurations eliminating combustion entirely, isothermal approaches reducing exergy losses, and grid-dispatch optimization.

Scroll compressor

Patent published on the 2026-09-10 in WO under Ref WO2026186952 by LG ELECTRONICS INC [KR] (Park Sangbaek [kr], Jung Seongmun [kr], Kim Cheolhwan [kr])

Abstract: A scroll compressor is provided. The scroll compressor is configured such that a fixed wrap comprises a fixed wrap portion and an extension wrap portion extending from a discharge end of the fixed wrap portion and having a wrap height lower than a wrap height of the fixed wrap portion, wherein a wrap accommodation groove in which the extension wrap portion is rotatably accommodated is formed between the outer circumference of a rotary shaft insertion portion and the inner circumference of an orb[...]


Our summary: A scroll compressor features a fixed wrap with an extension wrap that has a lower height. This design improves wrap strength and reduces tipping moments while minimizing leakage between compression chambers. The variation in wrap heights also mitigates inter-wrap frictional loss and abrasion from corner protrusions.

A CFD&ndash;DEM Numerical Study

Published on 2026-01-29 by Weiqiang Zhao, Xijie Song, Ning Wang, Yongyao Luo, Ling Ma @MDPI

Abstract: During the discharge process of a salt cavern compressed air energy storage (CAES) system, high-speed air flow may entrain salt slag from the cavern floor, posing a threat to pipeline safety. Currently, there is a lack of in-depth research into the transient mechanisms of the entrainment process, particularly the influence of particle shape. This study employs a CFD-DEM coupling approach to conduct, for the first time, a high-fidelity simulation of slag entrainment dynamics during the initial di[...]

Temperature, density, and compressibility may be then found directly from tables for high temperat[...]
