A landmark compressed air energy storage (CAES) power station utilizing two underground salt caverns in Yingcheng City, central China’s Hubei Province, was successfully connected to the grid at full capacity on Thursday, marking the official commencement of its commercial operations.
The “Energy Storage No. 1” project utilizes the caverns of an abandoned salt mine, reaching up to 600 meters of depth, as its gas storage facility. This allows for a gas storage volume of nearly 700,000 cubic meters, translating into a single unit power output of up to 300 MW and a storage capacity of 1,500 MWh. The system conversion efficiency is about 70%. It can store energy for eight hours and release energy for five hours every day, and generate about 500 GWh of electricity annually.

There is no compressed air storage (CAS) Power project in India at present and this new technology needs to be mastered and developed in India, so that we can utilise the over supply of Solar power 🔋 during day time towards creating storage power system to meet supply demands in evening peak load conditions. Interesting technology which we must master .
This isn’t actually an energy generator. It’s an energy storage system that relies on an outside source (likely fossil fuels) as its ultimate power source.
