HOME / China Goes Big On Compressed Air Energy Storage - PROTON POWER
After an introduction to motivation and principles, the key components are covered, and then the principal types of systems in the order of technical maturity: diabatic, adiabatic, and isothermal.
Compressed-air-energy storage (CAES) is a way to store energy for later use using compressed air. At a utility scale, energy generated during periods of low demand can be released during peak load periods. The first utility-scale CAES project was in the Huntorf power plant in Elsfleth, Germany, and is still operational as of 2024.
The most common methods for classification of ESSs are based on energy usage in a specific form, including electrical energy storage (EES) and thermal energy storage (TES), or based on the types of energy stored in the system (kinetic or potential; thermal, electrical, mechanical, chemical, etc.) [11, 18, 23].
Most compressed air energy storage systems addressed in literature are large-scale systems of above 100 MW which most of the time use depleted mines as the cavity to store the high pressure fluid. Three main concepts are researched; diabatic, adiabatic and isothermal.
1. Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES). 2. Advanced Adiabatic Compressed Air Energy Storage (AA-CAES). CAES plants store energy in form of compressed air. Only two plants of this type exist worldwide, the first one built over 30 years ago in Huntorf, Germany with a power output of 320 MW and a storage capacity of 580 MWh.

Based on an overview of the current status and policy outcomes of energy storage deployment in China, this research report presents policy recommendations for its scaled-up development in the future.
The Chinese government has promulgated many policies to promote the development of energy storage. The energy storage industry had ushered in a period of development with the release of the 13th Five Year Plan (National Development and Reform Commission, 2016; China Energy Storage Alliance, 2021).
The development of energy storage industry requires promotion of the government in the aspect of technology, subsidies, safety and so on, thereby a complex energy storage policy system has developed. A lack of systematic research specifically regarding energy storage policies in China still prevails.
However, because of the late start of China's energy storage industry, the comprehensive study for the whole industry is very few. We found a review which provided a relatively comprehensive analysis of the technical and economic issue of it. Compared with other studies, its research has a good comprehensiveness.
China's energy storage technology has just started, and the government has already issued relevant policies to promote its industrial development. The Renewable Energy Industry Development Guidance Directory issued in 2005 included two energy storage projects.
By tracing the evolution of energy storage policies, we found that China's energy storage industry remained in its infancy and has not yet reached an industrial scale. First, the inadequate policy coordination hinders the development of energy storage industry.
It also introduces the application scenarios of energy storage on the power generation side, transmission and distribution side, user side and microgrid of the power system in detail. Section 3 introduces six business models of energy storage in China and analyzes their practical applications.
