摘要
Modifications to power plants for moderating climate warming and increasing safety combine a large compressed air energy storage (CAES) system with a thermal power plant such that free power plant waste heat replaces natural gas used at existing and planned CAES facilities. The system allows higher percentages of wind and solar energy on existing grids. The compressed air in a companion CAES can cool a nuclear reactor during an emergency. Also an inexpensive, add-on, external, Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) can cool a nuclear reactor after shutdown, even when all internal cooling water circulation has been disabled. All embodiments are installed outside the plant where they will not be damaged in the event of a plant accident. Both systems use environmentally friendly compressed air energy storage in new ways, and can be built and installed quickly around the world at existing plants using only proven infrastructure.
