Ayers, D L

A study was performed to investigate the behavior and suitability of an aquifer-based compressed air energy storage (CAES) plant. The Department of Energy and Electric Power Research Institute sponsored project established methodologies and preliminary design procedures for developing, designing, constructing, and operating a CAES facility utilizing an aquifer storage formation. Volume VIII forms a part of the final report describing the information derived from the study. Volume VIII provides descriptions, development and results from a one-dimensional air flow computer model, two-dimensional air flow computer model and a manifold air flow/pressure loss model. These models are analytic tools utilized to predict aquifer performance and CAES system analysis.
