摘要: A compressed gas energy storage system may include an accumulator for containing a layer of compressed gas atop a layer of liquid. A gas conduit may have an upper end in communication with a gas compressor/expander subsystem and a lower end in communication with accumulator interior for conveying compressed gas into the compressed gas layer of the accumulator when in use. A shaft may have an interior for containing a quantity of a liquid and may be fluidly connectable to a liquid source/sink via a liquid supply conduit. A partition may cover may separate the accumulator interior from the shaft interior. An internal accumulator force may act on the inner surface of the partition and the liquid within the shaft may exert an external counter force on the outer surface of the partition, whereby a net force acting on the partition is less than the accumulator force.

摘要: A hydrostatically compensated, compressed gas energy storage system can include an accumulator containing a layer of compressed gas at between about 20 bar and about 90 bar above a layer of compensation liquid that has a density of at least 1500 kg/m3. A compressor and expander subsystem may be configured to selectably convey compressed gas into the accumulator and to extract gas from the accumulator. The system may be operable in at least a charging mode in which the compressor and expander subsystem conveys gas into the layer of compressed gas thereby displacing a corresponding volume of compensation liquid from the layer of compensation liquid within the accumulator out of the accumulator via the compensation liquid flow path thereby maintaining the layer of compressed gas at substantially the accumulator pressure during the charging mode.
