From Stranded Natural Gas Pipelines to Flexibility Networks: Pipeline-based Compressed Air Energy Storage
This resource links to a document we hold in our system
Abstract:
In this article, the authors argue that repurposing selected high-pressure gas pipelines as compressed air energy storage (CAES) assets could help address two challenges. First, as decarbonisation reduces demand for natural gas, portions of existing transmission infrastructure may become underutilised or redundant. Second, growing shares of variable renewable generation are increasing the need for large-scale flexibility across both time and location.Publication Year:
