This paper presents results of engineering development for utilization of thermal energy storage (TES) for Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) plant applications. Presented results include the following: - Turbomachinery cycle optimization for TES application - TES systems engineering and optimization - Comparative technical and economic analysis of various CAES plant concepts with TES versus a conventional CAES plant concept The paper concludes that utilization of TES is feasible, practical and economically attractive.

As part of the change towards a higher deployment of renewable energy sources, which naturally deliver energy intermittently, the need for energy storage systems is increasing. For compensation of disturbance in power production due to inter-day to seasonal weather changes, long-term energy storage is required. In the spectrum of storage systems, one out of a few geographically independent possibilities is the storage of electricity in heat, so-called Carnot-Batteries. This paper presents a Pumped Thermal Energy Storage (PTES) system based on a recuperated supercritical CO2 Brayton cycle. The modelled system provides a round-trip efficiency of 38.9%.
