Numerical studies of compressed air energy storage caverns in hard rock
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6917735
A program to develop and use numerical models to evaluate the behavior of compensated CAES caverns in hard rock is summarized, and methodology for the development of stability criteria is established. It is concluded that there is adequate information available to enable a designer to design an underground opening with the size, shape, and depth required of a CAES cavern with regard to its excavation and construction, based on a combination of numerical modeling and precedent considerations. It is recommended that numerical methods be used in combination with in situ tests to permit the development of a design methodology for the operation of a CAES cavern.
