METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INTEGRATING ON-SHORE GREEN AND OTHER ON-SHORE POWER SOURCES WITH A COMPRESSED AIR ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM ON A FLOATING POWER PLANT.

摘要

The invention relates to a method and apparatus that shares the cost and areal footprint of the barge floatation platform for a floating power platform (FPP) with the cost and aerial footprint of the high pressure vessels of the compressed air energy storage (CAES) system. The integration of these two systems provides cost savings and energy consumption savings with potential for desalination.
