Compressed air energy storage enhanced by gravity Scientists in China have simulated an advanced adiabatic compressed air energy storage, to which they added an elastic airbag with a heavy load situated above it. The energy, exergy, and economic analysis of the system showed that, due to the constant weight of the heavy load, the airbag’s pressure level remains unaltered during operation.
