6 FAQs about [2025 compressed air energy storage project]
What is a compressed air energy storage project?
A compressed air energy storage (CAES) project in Hubei, China, has come online, with 300MW/1,500MWh of capacity. The 5-hour duration project, called Hubei Yingchang, was built in two years with a total investment of CNY1.95 billion (US$270 million) and uses abandoned salt mines in the Yingcheng area of Hubei, China’s sixth-most populous province.
Will China accelerate the development of compressed air energy storage projects?
Now, China is expected to accelerate the development of its far less prevalent compressed air energy storage (CAES) projects to optimize its power grid performance and move in a greener direction.
What is compressed air energy storage (CAES)?
Among the different ES technologies, compressed air energy storage (CAES) can store tens to hundreds of MW of power capacity for long-term applications and utility-scale. The increasing need for large-scale ES has led to the rising interest and development of CAES projects.
How big is energy storage in 2022?
The total installed energy storage reached 209.4 GW worldwide in 2022, an increase of 9.0% over the previous year . CAES, another large-scale energy storage technology with pumped-hydro storage, demonstrates promise for research, development, and application. However, there are concerns about technical maturity, economy, policy, and so forth.
Is China ready to commercialize energy storage?
China is currently in the early stage of commercializing energy storage. As of 2017, the cumulative installed capacity of energy storage in China was 28.9 GW , accounting for only 1.6% of the total power generating capacity (1777 GW ), which is still far below the goal set by the State Grid of China (i.e., 4%–5% by 2020) .
Can a 10 MW gas pipeline be used for high-pressure air storage?
In 2016, the IET of Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a 10 MW integrated test and validation platform for CAES, where the gas pipeline was adopted for high-pressure air storage (Fig. 9). It has a maximum energy storage capacity of 40 MWh, a power measurement range of 0–10 MW, and a pressure measurement range of 0–10 MPa.
