  • Non-air compressed gas-based energy storage and recovery system and method
    Patent number: 10316825
    Abstract: A non-air compressed gas-based energy storage and recovery system and method include receiving a quantity of non-air compressible gas and removing contaminants therefrom utilizing a separator/filter then powering a compressor to volumetrically compress the compressible gas. The gas is passed through a cooler to reduce the gas temperature and increase its density and is transferred to a storage vessel. The stored gas is then routed to a heater to increase the temperature of the gas and the gas is expanded in an expander to drive the expander and an electrical generator operably connected thereto in order to generate electric power.
