Researchers from Canada have analyzed the performances of an aboveground compressed air energy storage system (CAES) with both an experimental setup and a numerical model. A quasi-steady-state ...

Researchers from China's Northwest A&F University have developed a novel drip irrigation system powered by PV, which stores energy in the form of compressed air. The use of compressed air not only ...

These low-tech systems offer cheap, long-duration storage with minimal degradation, using abundant materials and basic ...

In a significant advancement for renewable energy storage, researchers at the State Grid Hubei Electric Power Testing Research Institute (China), in collaboration with the China Energy Digital ...

The largest U.S. federal loan guarantee for long-duration energy storage didn’t last long. Less than two weeks after the U.S.

Compressed air is critical in many industrial and nonindustrial applications, including powering pneumatic tools and conveyor systems, cleaning equipment and airfilling amusement park objects. While ...

For years, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has championed the potential of advanced compressed air energy storage (A-CAES), and now the feds are putting a whole bunch of money where their mouth is ...

Before jumping into the benefits and opportunities for energy storage systems (ESSs), we first need to level set. What is an ESS, and why do we use them? An ESS collects energy when it is abundant — ...

Willow Rock would store energy as compressed air that can be used for electricity to balance intermittent renewables. The Department of Energy announced a $1.76 billion loan guarantee Wednesday for a ...

We're currently a lot better at producing clean energy than storing it to use later. That poses a challenge in regions that have long stretches with low wind and sunlight, stressing power grids fed by ...
