Journal Article
Guo, C., Zhang, K., Pan, L., Cai, Z., Li, C., & Li, Y. (2017). Numerical investigation of a joint approach to thermal energy storage and compressed air energy storage in aquifers. Applied Energy, 203, 948-958. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2017.06.030

Different from conventional compressed air energy storage (CAES) systems, the advanced adiabatic compressed air energy storage (AA-CAES) system can store the compression heat which can be used to reheat air during the electricity generation stage. Th... Read More about Numerical investigation of a joint approach to thermal energy storage and compressed air energy storage in aquifers.

Exploring multi-objective trade-offs in the design space of a waste heat recovery system (2017)
Journal Article
Mokhtar, M., Burns, S., Ross, D., & Hunt, I. (2017). Exploring multi-objective trade-offs in the design space of a waste heat recovery system. Applied Energy, 195, 114-124. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2017.03.030

A waste heat recovery system (WHRS) is used to capture waste heat released from an industrial process, and transform the heat into reusable energy. In practice, it can be difficult to identify the optimal form of a WHRS for a particular installation,...
