Embodiment Construction
[0021]According to embodiments of the invention, a system is provided that comprises at least one TES unit configured to allow the at least one TES unit to withstand high pressure and temperature fluctuations while maintaining minimal wall thickness.
[0022]First, referring to FIG. 1, a schematic arrangement of the primary elements of an ACAES system is shown. ACAES system 100 comprises an electric motor 102 coupled to a low-pressure compressor 104. Electric motor 102 may be electrically powered via conventional means, i.e., the utility grid, during off-peak utility hours. Alternatively, electric motor 102 may be powered by electricity provided via wind farms, solar arrays, or other renewable sources. Electric motor 102 powers low-pressure compressor 104 such that low-pressure compressor 104 pressurizes intake air 106. Pressurized air 108 from low-pressure compressor 104 is then provided to a high-pressure compressor 112 to enable the air to undergo further compression. Similar to low...
