One of the main advantages of Compressed Air Energy Storage systems is that they can be integrated with renewable sources of energy, such as wind or solar power.
In times of excess electricity on the grid (for instance due to the high power delivery at times when demand is low), a compressed air energy storage plant can compress air and store the compressed air in a cavern underground. At times when demand is high, the stored air can be released and the energy can be recuperated.
Essentially, the term compressed air energy storage outlines the basic functioning of the technology. In times of excess electricity on the grid (for instance due to the high power delivery at times when demand is low), a compressed air energy storage plant can compress air and store the compressed air in a cavern underground.
With a rough estimate of 80% of U.S territory being geologically suitable for CAES, it has the potential to be a leading system within the storing of compressed air energy . One of the main disadvantages associated with this type of storage system is the need for the heating process to cause expansion.
On June 10, 2021, the 29th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 13th National People's Congress passed the Hainan Free Trade Port Law of the People's Republic of China, which determined to establish and improve the Hainan Free Trade Port customs supervision special zone system with closed-off customs operations on the entire island.
South China’s tropical island province of Hainan is intensifying efforts to establish itself as a high-level free trade port (FTP) by 2025. Key plans were outlined in a government work report presented during the annual session of the Hainan Provincial People’s Congress on Tuesday.
"The island-wide independent customs operation is a flagship move for the development of the Hainan FTP and a key measure to further expand opening-up," Wang said, calling it "a milestone" in China's opening-up efforts.
Looking ahead, the Hainan FTP will prioritize promoting the free and efficient flow of key production factors, including trade, investment, cross-border capital, personnel and logistics, alongside the secure and orderly movement of data, according to Cai.
