What is a compressed air energy storage station?
"The compressed-air energy storage station offers large capacity, long storage time (over 4 hours), and efficient response, making it comparable to small and medium-sized pumped storage power plants," Liu Yong, Secretary General of Energy Storage Application Branch of China Industrial Association of Power Sources told the Global Times on Wednesday.
Where is China's compressed air energy storage power station located?
The compressed air energy storage power station in Changzhou, east China's Jiangsu Province. /China Power The compressed air energy storage power station in Changzhou, east China's Jiangsu Province. /China Power China's compressed air energy storage in a salt cavern connected to the grid in Changzhou, east China's Jiangsu Province, on Thursday.
How does an energy storage power station work?
The energy storage power station has compressed and stored the ambient air under pressure in an underground salt cavern. When the electricity is required, the pressurized air is heated and expanded in an expansion turbine driving a generator for power production.
What is a'super power bank'?
Dubbed as a "super power bank", the station is expected to reach a gas storage capacity of 1.9 billion cubic meters, and generate approximately 500 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually.
