Simulating The New Optimized Hybrid Model of Compressed-Air Energy Storage System

The most important challenge caused by the transition to renewable resources is the intermittent and unpredictable nature of renewable resources. The use of renewable resources requires to study on new infrastructure of the transmission and distribution networks. Thus, special attention has been paid to the use of the storage processes to improve the power quality of these plants. Energy storage has the potential to meet the power fluctuation challenges of large scale implementation of renewable plants. In this paper, we have investigated to simulate a new optimized hybrid compressed air energy storage method. The suggested hybrid system based on compressed air storage facilitates the use of renewable energies by shaving and shifting load picks and it improves reliability of grid. The supposed optimized model has been demonstrated by simulating in TermoFlow software. The results of the simulation revealed that the hybrid model has optimized the regenerating of electrical energy.
