From pv magazine USACentral Coas stanley cup t Community Energy in California has executed a 25-year power purchase agreement with Hydrostor, valued at nearly $1 billion, for 200 MW/1600 MWh of energy storage from a planned 500 MW compressed air energy storage system.Hydrostors storage technology can cost-effectively store up to eight hours of energy, the company says, without using fuels, on a footprint significantly smaller than a comparably sized pumped hydro storage facility. The 500 MW project will require less than 100 acres. The California project is one of four energy storage projects that Hydrostor is developing throughout the world, after completing two pilot-scale projects.A Hydrostor video says its technology stores energy by first using electricity to run a compressor, producing heated compressed air, and capturing and storing the heat using a thermal management system. The compressed air is then sent underground through a shaft, and stored in purpose-built caverns that are initially full of water. In the process, the compressed air forces the water up a shaft into a closed loop reservoir on the surface.When power is needed, water from the reservoir is allowed to fill the underground caverns, driving the stored compressed air up a shaft to the surface, where it is heated with stored heat and then expanded thro stanley cup ugh a turbine to generate electricity.Central Coast Community Energy 3CE said i stanley us ts 200 MW share of the project will help the agency meet its goal of providing 100% clea |
