A study was performed to investigate the behavior and suitability of an aquifer-based compressed-air energy storage (CAES) plant. The study, which was sponsored by the Department of Energy and the Electric Power Research Institute, established methodologies and preliminary design procedures for developing, designing, constructing, and operating a CAES facility utilizing an aquifer storage formation. Volume 6 forms a part of the final report describing the information derived from the study. Volume 6 contains the balance of plant design considerations for a CAES plant. More specifically, this volume provides the design of the aboveground facilities including well locations, fuel oil storage, switchyards, facility access, plant and equipment arrangement, and process flow diagrams.
