Compressed Air Batteries Becomes a Reality
A 1.5 megawatt battery has just been unveiled by SustainX in New Hampshire. This compressed air battery system has a 20-year operating life with a ver levelized cost of energy, enabling cost-effective and large-scale storage of electricity.
Isothermal Compressed Air Energy Storage performance does not degrade over its lifetime or need frequent replacement like other chemical battery systems. No hazardous material are used.
With these benefits mentioned above, this sounds like an important part of a sustainable energy future. Assuming it performs as advertised, this could be the practical solution for the green power industry where it’s not dependent on some factors we can’t control anymore. If the wind isn’t blowing, the turbines don’t turn. ICAES is the bridge between those valleys.
If you want to know more about this and other topics directly from end users of energy storage technologies join us at one of these annual events: The Energy Storage World Forum (Grid Scale Applications), or The Residential Energy Storage Forum, or one of our Training Courses.
