Since Jul, 2021
Storelectric Ltd is a developer of projects using highly efficient forms of Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) using existing technologies, at a grid scale, efficiently and cost-effectively.
Innovative adiabatic Compressed Air Energy Storage (TES CAES). Our 500MW, multiGWh installations will have zero/low emissions, operate at 68-70% round trip
efficiency, levelised cost significantly below that of gas-fired peaking plants, and use existing, off-the-shelf equipment. It simplifies the Huntorf plant, operating since 1978. A hybrid will provide reserve grid power.
Their CCGT CAES technology converts and gives new economic life to gas-fired power stations, halving emissions and adding storage revenues, thereby re-lifing stranded assets. It simplifies the McIntosh plant, operating since 1992. A hybrid is significantly more efficient.
Both technologies can offer black start and similar services. They will operate at scales of 20MW to multi-GW and durations from 4 hours to multi-day. With the potential to store the entire continent’s energy requirements for over a week, potential globally is greater still. In the future, Storelectric will further develop these technologies, and other geologies for CAES, all of which will greatly improve storage cost, duration, efficiency and global potential. They address the entire energy trilemma: the world’s most costeffective and widely implementable large scale energy storage technology, turning locally generated renewable energy into dispatchable electricity, thereby …
Both of the Storelectric CAES systems offer the ability not only to generate electricity but also store it when there is excess, to respond to intermittency issues and to provide ancillary services to the grid. When there is surplus electricity on the grid, the Storelectric CAES system uses it to compress air to around 70 bar pressure, also storing the heat. Then, when electricity is required, air and heat are released through turbines to generate it. Power rating of storage, power rating of discharge and amount of energy stored are all independent variables in the design of these plants, enabling it to be optimised for baseload, fast response, interconnection, wind farm management and many other load cases.
