Compressed-Air Energy Storage Preliminary Design and Site Development Program in an Aquifer Volume 7:Environmental, Safety, and Licensing Considerations

摘要

A study was performed to investigate the behavior and suitability of aquifers as compressed-air energy storage (CAES) sites. The study was jointly sponsored by the Department of Energy and Electric Power Research Institute. Volume 7 forms a part of the final report describing the methodology and results of the study.\nVolume 7 describes probability, severity, and recommended control measures for the environmental and safety impacts that could result from the construction and operation of a CAES facility. The permits and approvals that would be required and the time estimated for their acquisition are also described.
