Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2019115120A1] The invention relates to a method for storing and producing energy by means of compressed air, comprising the following steps: - compressing the air using staged compressors, during which time the air is cooled, after at least one compression step, by means of an exchange with a heat transfer fluid, - storing the compressed air and the hot heat transfer fluid after the exchange performed during the compression steps, - expanding the air in multiple stages by means of energy production turbines, during which time the air is heated, after at least one expansion step, by means of the hot transfer fluid tapped from the storage means. According to the invention, after the expanded air is heated and before being recirculated to the compression step, the transfer fluid is cooled by an additional energy recovery loop comprising a pump, an exchanger and a turbine, and an additional transfer fluid.
