ABSTRACT:
A cost analysis of packed beds for thermal-energy storage (TES) in an adiabatic compressed-air-energy storage system is given. Capital costs based on the conceptual design of a TES unit are estimated and their sensitivity to system parameter variation is studied. Two TES conceptual designs

were considered for: (a) an excavated cavity, and (b) an abandoned mine. A cost comparison is made between surface-sited and underground TES. A cost model was constructed to study the effect of pebble size, insulation thickness, temperature, storage pressure, storage capacity, and other TES components on the TES capital cost. Show Less
