Abstract: A method for operating a compressed air energy storage system is provided. The method can include compressing a process gas with a compressor train to produce a compressed process gas and storing the compressed process gas in a compressed gas storage unit. The method can also include extracting the compressed process gas from the compressed gas storage unit to an expansion assembly through a feed line. A valve assembly fluidly coupled to the feed line can be actuated to control a mass flow of the compressed process gas from the compressed gas storage unit to the expansion assembly. The method can further include heating the compressed process gas in a preheater fluidly coupled to the feed line upstream from the expansion assembly, and generating a power output with the expansion assembly.

Abstract: A drainage system for a stage of a turbine. The drainage system may include at least one annular recess defined in the inner surface of the casing of the turbine and configured to accumulate liquid therein. An axial slot and a radial slot may be formed in a diaphragm of the turbine, the axial slot extending between the upstream and downstream faces of the diaphragm. The drainage system may further include a tubular member including an axially extending tubular portion disposed in the axial slot and a radially extending tubular portion disposed in the radial slot. The radially extending tubular portion may be sized and configured to fluidly couple the at least one annular recess and the axially extending tubular portion, such that liquid in the at least one annular recess may be drained therefrom and discharged from the stage of the turbine via the axially extending tubular portion.
