Combining floating PV with compressed air energy storage

Researchers from Egypt and the UK developed a new floating PV system concept that utilizes compressed air for energy storage. The system has a roundtrip efficiency of 34. 1% and an exergy efficiency of 41%. Scientists from the Port Said University in Egypt and the University of Strathclyde in the United Kingdom have proposed to combine compressed air energy storage (CAES) with floating photovoltaics through a novel energy management strategy. "To overcome the intermittency and availability issues of solar energy, the proposed floating PV system is equipped with an environmentally friendly hybrid ...
