Abstract

For the first time, the study investigated the dynamic performances of a compressed CO2 energy storage (CCES) system based on a dynamic model, which was validated using experimental data. The dynamic round-trip efficiency (RTE) of a scaled-up CCES system in two typical operation modes was studied, including Mode 1: the basic operation mode, where the inlet pressure of the compressor or the expander is not controlled, and Mode 2: the controlled operation mode, where the capacity for compression or expansion is regulated to remain constant. Dynamic RTE varies in the range 16.7%-56.7% in various operation modes. A new key performance indicator, utilization of tank (UOT), was defined to reflect how much working gas is used in a charging or a discharging process. In general, high charging and high discharging capacities lead to low UOTs and low RTEs. Moreover, the comparison between the dynamic model and its equivalent steady-state model showed a significant difference in system performances. The RTE of the steady-state model reaches 68.5%, which is much higher than the corresponding dynamic RTE of 55.3%.
