The method involves mixing a portion of compressed air extracted from compressed-air accumulator (04) with another portion of the compressed air extracted from the compressed air accumulator at constant turbo-machine (02,03) inlet temperature (T). The latt...

Systems and methods provide for cooling air in a power generation system. The system includes: an air handling unit configured to receive air, to cool the air and to remove moisture from the air; a first compressor fluidly connected to the air handling uni...

A power generation system (200) includes a first compressor (202), a second compressor (206), a combustor (232) configured to receive compressed air from the second compressor (206) to produce an exhaust stream, a first turbine (238), and a power turbine (...

A system and method for cooling electrical machines (e.g., generators), sub-systems (e.g., power electronics), and components (e.g., bearings) in an electrical generation system such as a compressed air storage (CAS) energy system or a thermal and compress...

Systems and methods for using a dual-path fluid routing system (300) that uses a flow restriction device (330) to enhance temperature and pressure control of fluid are provided. Systems and methods for using a setpoint pressure control system to accurately...

The power absorption capacity is divided between first and second compressors (13). The first compressor is on the first shaft train (1), the second on the second shaft train (2). The combined power of both compressors exceeds 120 MW especially.

A unit for using renewable energy having non-controllable availability comprises a device (10) to convert it into mechanical and/or electrical energy, a unit (21) to compress gas and store the compressed gas (22) and a system to release the compression ene...

The hydro-electric installation has a water turbine and a compressed air turbine(9). Air is compressed by water falling (3) from a dam toward the turbine, and water and air are separated (7) before reaching the respective turbines. The extracted air is col...
