Abstract

The concept of static and dynamic reservoirs is presented, and their performances are evaluated. The static reservoir is a simple reservoir with constant volume, and the dynamic one has a volume which varies as a function of the position of an internal piston coupled to a spring. The spring is compressed when the pressure in the chamber rises and exerts a proportional force on it. The two reservoirs are components to be used in compressed air energy storage systems. The study comprises a model of the compression machine as well as models of the two reservoirs. The filling processes are simulated, and the different variables are represented as a function of time. A reduced scale experimentation set-up is presented, and its behavior is first simulated. Then. the results are compared to the experimental records.
