Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is one of the leading large-scale energy storage technologies. However, low thermal efficiency and low energy storage density restrict its application. To improve the energy storage density, we propose a two-reservoir compressed CO₂ energy storage system. We present here thermodynamic and parametric analyses of the performance of an idealized two-reservoir CO₂ energy storage system under supercritical and transcritical conditions using a steady-state mathematical model. Results show that the transcritical compressed CO₂ energy storage system has higher round-trip efficiency and exergy efficiency, and larger energy storage density than the supercritical compressed CO₂ energy storage. However, the configuration of supercritical compressed CO₂ energy storage is simpler, and the energy storage densities of the two systems are both higher than that of CAES, which is advantageous in terms of storage volume for a given power rating.
