ABSTRACT: This paper proposes a new
system configuration for integrating a compressed air energy storage system
with a conventional wind turbine. The proposed system recycles the mechanical
spillage of blades and stores it for later electricity generation with
assistance from a rotary vane machine. The configuration and operational policy
is explained, and a comparative case study shows that the proposed system
recovers investment costs through savings on electricity procurement and
revenue through power export.
