Pumped hydro combined with compressed air energy storage system (PHCA) is a novel energy storage system that could help solve energy storage difficult in China's arid regions. This combination integrates the advantages and overcomes the disadvantages of both compressed air energy storage systems and pumped hydro storage systems.
Thermodynamic modeling of each module is developed. The operational characteristics of the modules are analyzed. Energy and exergy performance during single- and multi-cycles are revealed. Many pumped hydro compressed air energy storage systems suffer from defects owing to large head variations in the hydraulic machinery.
Among the large-scale energy storage technologies used in commercial applications, pumped storage and compressed air energy storage (CAES) have great potential for development [7, 8]. Pumped storage is currently the dominant form of energy storage. However, it has the drawbacks of harsh site selection and low energy storage density .
Pumped storage module The operating head of the pumped storage unit can be calculated from the air pressure in the tank and the friction of the water hydraulic cylinders. Under the pumping conditions, the flow and head exhibit a linear negative correlation. The higher the head, the smaller the flow.
Pumped hydro energy storage is currently the most practical and mature energy storage technology available for electricity [7, 8, 9]; according to the data from the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), pumped hydro energy storage ranks first in the global energy storage market and accounts for more than 99% of the total installed capacity.
During the process of increasing the head and decreasing the flow, the power of the pumped storage unit first increases and then decreases, with a maximum value of 1.27 MW. During discharging, the pumped storage unit operates at a constant flow of 0.993 m 3 /s. As the air expands, the pressure inside the tank decreases.
