Preliminary Design Study of Underground Pumped Hydro and Compressed-Air Energy Storage in Hard Rock. Volume 9. Design Approaches: CAES; Appendix D: Mechanical Systems

摘要

This appendix documents the development of the design approach taken for the mechanical systems included in a Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) facility. Mechanical systems comprise the fuel oil system, water supply system, waste treatment system, fire protection and safety system, and miscellaneous plant services. The design approaches developed for these systems are based on similar designs for conventional utility plants because the operating characteristics, design parameters, and equipment capabilities for CAES plant mechanical systems are similar to standard utility systems. The design approach for each of these systems develops several alternatives for achieving the CAES plant requirements in each area. The preferred alternative is then expanded into a preliminary system description. (ERA citation 06:030654)
