| Abstract: | Hydro-pneumatic energy storage systems rely on the thermo-elasticity of a gas, which is manipulated using an incompressible liquid. A technology overview and theoretical framework is presented in this chapter, outlining the fundamental relationships and thermodynamic considerations. This theoretical foundation shows why an isothermal system is the most ideal and illustrates the importance of accurately modelling the heat-exchange interfaces in the time domain to understand where the system will actually operate within the isothermal and adiabatic limits. An overview of experimental work on marinized hydro-pneumatic energy storage is also presented. Finally, the implementation of the technology in the context of offshore wind power generation is discussed. |
