Abstract

In recent years, climate change and nationally determined contribution (NDC) policies worldwide have accelerated the transition from fossil energy sources to renewable energy. Consequently, the energy storage system (ESS) sector has emerged as an area of increasing importance in this industry. In particular, compressed air energy storage (CAES), which has a long history of commercialization, is reappraised as a competitive ESS technology with the potential for long-duration and utility-scale storage. The second part of the comprehensive overview aims to provide valuable insights into the planning, design, and construction stages of the CAES system. It describes various geological storage methods for CAES, such as rock salt, aquifers, and depleted gas fields, as well as the potential issues that need to be addressed when deploying each method. Furthermore, it elucidated the isochoric and isobaric storage types and introduced an analytical model for calculating the storage energy density of CAES based on each storage type with sample configurations.

최근 들어 기후 변화와 전 세계 각국의 NDC 정책은 화석 에너지에서 재생에너지로의 전환을 가속화시키고 있다. 이에 따라 에너지저장시스템(ESS) 분야는 산업계에서 점점 더 중요성이 커지는 분야로 부상하고 있다. 특히 상용화의 역사가 오래된 압축공기에너지저장(CAES)은 장시간 및 유틸리티 규모의 저장이 가능한 경쟁력 있는 ESS 기술로 재평가되고 있다. CAES 시스템의 계획, 설계 및 건설 단계에서 통찰력을 제공하기 위해 준비한 CAES 관련 두 번째 총설이다. 본 총설에서는 암염 공동, 대수층, 폐가스전과 같은 지질학적 저장 방식을 소개하고, 이와 관련한 주요 현안들을 설명하였다. 또한, 저장공동의 압력 변화에 따라 정압저장과 정적저장에 대한 설명과 각 저장 방식별 저장에너지 밀도를 계산하는 모델을 예시 사례와 함께 소개하였다.
