Kunstige luftbeholder for CAES-applikasjoner basert på glass/karbonfiberforsterket kompositt

Offentlig prosjektsammendrag

Renewable energies are being developed worldwide at an unprecedented rate. This surge is largely driven by the will to reduce carbon emissions. Solar, wind, hydroelectric, and geothermal energies are the cornerstones of this renewable revolution. However, the integration of some renewable energies sources into existing energy grids presents significant challenges, primarily due to their intermittent and unpredictable nature. The variability can lead to mismatches between energy supply and demand. To answer the market needs we will develop a storage vessel for A-CAES (adiabatic compressed air energy storage) made of GRP pipes. Novel and highly advanced GRP vessel systems will be manufactured in diameters up to 3.5m and operating pressure up to 70 bar. We will develop a joining methods making it a modular system adopted to individual needs and easily expandable. We will analyze short and long-term mechanical properties, including cyclic performance to ensure safe and reliable operation.
