Modelling a field-scale compressed air energy storage in porous rock reservoirs (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Yang, L., Guo, C., Li, C., He, Q., Zhang, K., & Cai, Z. (2019, August). Modelling a field-scale compressed air energy storage in porous rock reservoirs. Presented at International Conference on Applied Energy 2019, Västerås, SwedenCompressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) is one of the promising methods to store the surplus solar and wind energy
in a grid scale . In this study, we used a non-isothermal multiphase flow simulator to model a field-scale study o... Read More about Modelling a field-scale compressed air energy storage in porous rock reservoirs.

Applied Energy, 269, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2020.115044Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is one of the promising technologies to store the renewable energies such as surplus solar and wind energy in a grid scale. Due to the widespread of aquifers in the world, the compressed air energy storage in aqui... Read More about Numerical investigation of cycle performance in compressed air energy storage in aquifers.
The application of the yield approach to study slurry migration in drill cuttings waste underground disposal (2020)
Journal Article
Guo, C., Wang, X., Li, C., Zhang, K., & Cai, Z. (2020). The application of the yield approach to study slurry migration in drill cuttings waste underground disposal. Journal of Cleaner Production, 254, Article 120144. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2020.120144The underground disposal of drill cuttings waste is a common practice for the gas/oil industry to achieve zero-discharge sustainable development. In this study, a numerical modeling approach was developed to simulate the slurry flow for underground d...
