A different type of CAES that aims to eliminate the need of fuel combustion, known as Advanced Adiabatic Compressed Air Energy Storage (AA-CAES), has recently been developed. AA-CAES stores the heat created during the initial air compression for use in the electricity generation section of the cycle. While this would entirely eliminate the need
The compressed air equipment would be supplied by Dresser-Rand. The alternative that has been used in the economic models has been a conventional, 1,200 MW natural gas combined cycle plant at the IPP site. An advantage of the CAES project over the gas-fired project is that it is more compatible with integrating renewable energy to the grid
