OSTI ID:6648912
The design of aquifer reservoirs for CAES applications involves the specification of a number of design variables and requires satisfaction of several constraints imposed by geological, aboveground machinery and utility load considerations. Because of the complexity, a significant potential exists for economic optimization. The paper sets forth a comprehensive framework for the design and optimization process which is based on a particularly advantageous decoupling of the CAES system; attention is focused on the aquifer reservoir, air distribution system and compression system. The state-of-the-art of the required technical information is discussed, and aspects needing further attention are noted.
