Abstract

The paper presents the automation and control system of a compressed air storage installation for electricity generation. The developed demonstration model consists of a screw compressor, driven by a 110 kW three-phase asynchronous motor, which pumps compressed air into a storage vessel; the air is then released into the suction line of a screw expander, the shaft of which spins a 132 kW three-phase asynchronous generator connected to the mains. When energy consumption is low and the price is low, energy will be stored in the form of compressed air. During periods of high energy demand, the air will be released from the tank, activating the expander-generator system, which will inject electricity into the network. For this application, asynchronous machines offer undeniable advantages over other electric machines. The ROCAES installation, controlled by the automatic command, control, and data acquisition system, contributes to obtaining a backup power source, with high availability and short intervention time.
