Abstract: A method of operating a hydrostatically compensated compressed air energy storage system comprising to inhibit champagne effect conditions, can include charging the system; changing the system into a storage mode; and before a dissolved gas concentration in a layer of compensation liquid exceeds a champagne effect saturation threshold, operating the system in a dilution cycle mode that can include i) discharging at least a portion of the compressed air from the accumulator thereby drawing additional compensation liquid having a lower dissolved gas concentration than the liquid in the layer of compensation liquid into the accumulator, and ii) re-charging the system by conveying additional compressed air into the layer of compressed air in the accumulator thereby displacing a corresponding amount of compensation liquid from the layer of compensation liquid into a compensation liquid flow path and returning the system to the storage mode.

Abstract: A method of operating a hydrostatically compensated compressed air energy storage system in a first charging mode including conveying the compressed air at a nearly constant first operating pressure which displaces a corresponding volume of compensation liquid from the layer of compensation liquid out of the accumulator, and a second charging mode including conveying additional compressed air into the accumulator while compensation liquid is not displaced from within the accumulator so that the pressure of the layer of compressed air increases to a second operating pressure that is greater than the first operating pressure.
