Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As energy systems worldwide continue to be decarbonized, large-scale energy storage technologies are becoming increasingly critical for supporting the widespread deployment of renewable power generation. Among these, compressed air energy storage (CAES) is a promising large-scale energy storage solution, offering high technical maturity, low capital costs, and a long operational lifespan. Building upon traditional CAES technologies, numerous advanced systems have been developed, including adiabatic CAES, thermal storage CAES, isothermal CAES, supercritical CAES, liquid air energy storage, and underwater CAES. As well as being widely utilized in grid-scale applications such as peak shaving, frequency restoration, and renewable integration, CAES holds significant potential for supporting distributed energy systems. Distributed energy systems, designed to provide "on-site" energy supply for end users, have attracted increased interest due to their benefits in terms of reducing transmission and distribution costs, avoiding infrastructure upgrades, and the electrification of remote areas. Despite the rapid development of CAES technology in recent years, there are still some gaps to fill, such as managing frequent off-design operations, addressing mismatched response rates, improving multi-process coupling for renewable integration, characterizing dynamic performance, enhancing energy density and practical round-trip efficiency, and optimizing deployment in distributed energy systems through improved design, control strategies, market frameworks, and policy planning. To tackle these challenges, this Special Issue will present the latest advancements in CAES technology and its applications in distributed energy systems.
