Between 1996 and 2006, the number of natural gas pipeline compressor stations attached to the interstate mainline natural gas pipeline grid increased significantly. In 1996 there were approximately 1,047 mainline compressor stations, with installed horsepower of about 13.4 million and a combined throughput capability of approximately

In 2018, the United States had 22.9 gigawatts (GW) of pumped storage hydroelectric generating capacity, compared with 79.9 GW of conventional hydroelectric capacity, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration''s (EIA) most recent inventory of power plants. California has the most pumped storage capacity, with 3.9

A group of local governments announced Thursday it''s signed a 25-year, $775-million contract to buy power from what would be the world''s largest compressed-air energy storage project.

The U.S. natural gas pipeline network is a highly integrated network that moves natural gas throughout the continental United States. The pipeline network has about 3 million miles of mainline and other pipelines that link natural gas production areas and storage facilities with consumers. In 2022, this natural gas transportation network

The U.S. Energy Information publishes data for three categories of electricity-generation capacity. Nameplate capacity, determined by the generator''s manufacturer, is the generating unit''s maximum output of electricity without exceeding specified thermal limits. Net summer capacity and net winter capacity are the maximum instantaneous electricity load a

Pumped storage projects move water between two reservoirs located at different elevations (i.e., an upper and lower reservoir) to store energy and generate electricity. Generally, when electricity demand is low (e.g., at night), excess electric generation capacity is used to pump water from the lower reservoir to the upper

Electrical Energy Storage (EES) refers to the process of converting electrical energy into a stored form that can later be converted back into electrical energy when needed.1 Batteries are one of the most common forms of electrical energy storage, ubiquitous in most peoples'' lives. The first battery—called Volta''s cell—was developed in 1800. The first U.S. large

Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is a way to store energy generated at one time for use at another time. At utility scale, energy generated during periods of low energy

The special thing about compressed air storage is that the air heats up strongly when being compressed from atmospheric pressure to a storage pressure of approx. 1,015 psia (70 bar). Standard multistage air compressors use inter- and after-coolers to reduce discharge temperatures to 300/350°F (149/177°C) and cavern injection air temperature
