Gas Turbine Air Injection Coupled with Compressed Air Energy Storage Makes Wind Power More Economic

摘要

This paper describes the integration of the new compressed air energy storage (CAESCT) concept (based on the power augmentation of a combustion turbine (CT) or combined cycle (CC) power plants by injection of stored, compressed air into a gas turbine) and renewable energy resources, particularly wind power, so as to maximize the economic benefit of renewable resources/wind energy while increasing the capacity and flexibility of the power generation system.
