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 8 forms a part of the final report describing the information derived from the study. Volume 8 provides descriptions, development and results from a one-dimensional air flow/pressure loss model. These models are analytic tools utilized to predict aquifer performance and CAES system analysis.
