Abstract

Abstract Energy storage is indispensable for decarbonising power systems with high penetration of fluctuating renewable generation (e.g., wind, solar). In this study, an innovative trigeneration adiabatic compressed air energy storage (Tri-ACAES) system that produces heating, cooling, and electricity is proposed. The Tri-ACAES system can absorb more wind power than an ACAES system. The Tri-ACAES can work in heating and cooling mode when renewable generation is too low to charge the ACAES system due to the off-design characteristics of the compressor. The results reveal that the round-trip efficiency and turbine power output of the proposed Tri-ACAES system are enhanced by up to 5.8% and 33%, respectively than conventional ACAES system. Further, the proposed system reduced the cost of thermal energy storage by up to 60% than conventional ACAES system.
