Breakthrough in the research and development of compressed air energy storage technology in our country

Journalists have learned from the Institute of Engineering Thermophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences that the institute has recently made a significant breakthrough in the research and development of compressed air energy storage technology. The international first set of single-machine compressed air energy storage compressor jointly developed by the Institute of Engineering Thermophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and ZhongMu Guoneng Technology Co., Ltd. has passed third-party testing with CNAS qualifications. The test results show that the compressor has a maximum exhaust pressure of 10.1 MPa, a maximum power of 101 MW, a variable operating range of 38.7% to 118.4%, and an efficiency of 88.1% at the highest exhaust pressure, reaching the international leading level.
