China continues to achieve achievements that are difficult to achieve by implementing the “world’s largest” projects in the field of energy in just months, not years. The country, which commissioned the largest compressed air energy storage (CAES) system available in the summer of this year, now has more than twice the capacity 700MW‘s largest in the world compressed air energy storage is establishing its facility.

Launched in Changzhou city of Jiangsu province by Huaneng, China’s leading energy group Jintan Salt Cave Compressed Air Energy Storage Project’The second phase of Energy Storage will bring together the largest capacity and most efficient technologies in the field of energy storage.

With the completion of the project, the capacity of the Jintan facility will be the largest CAES facility in the world. Second stage, in total 1.2 million cubic meters storage volume and two new 350 MW CAES units will include. This size will have the largest single-unit power generation capacity and storage capacity of any CAES facility. Storage capacity at the facility, with full charge 2.8 GWh electric motor will offer the ability. Additionally, approximately 330 charge-discharge cycles per year are expected.

The Jintan project, whose first phase was completed recently, gained significant operational experience with the establishment of a 60 MW CAES unit and a solid infrastructure was created for the second phase. The project will also feature several innovative technologies that increase efficiency. The most notable of these is without the need for external fuel sources fuel-free support technology that provides energy production. This technology allows zero carbon emissions to be achieved by storing and reusing the heat generated during the air compression process. energy conversion efficiency over 60 percent is being kept.

In addition, energy storage system integration has been optimized, making process flows and equipment configurations more efficient. Additionally, the “one-click start” control system speeds up operational processes, easing the workload for staff and shortening startup times. With these optimizations, generator startup times were reduced from 20 minutes to just 5 minutes. This enables rapid response during times when electricity usage peaks.

What is compressed air energy storage (CAES)?

For those who don’t know compressed air energy storage system (CAES) is a device used to store excess electrical energy and recover it later when needed. energy is storage technology. These systems store air under high pressure with the help of air compressors in underground caves (mostly in old salt caves, mines and large caves 500-800 m deep underground) or in specially designed tanks. During storage, electrical energy is used to run compressors. When necessary, compressed air is converted back into electrical energy by operating turbines.
