The world&#8217;s first and highest single-unit power CAES compressor, jointly developed by the Institute and Zhongchu Guoneng (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd., has passed third-party testing certified by CNAS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Test results indicate that the compressor achieves a maximum exhaust pressure of 10.1 MPa, a maximum power output of 101 MW, an operational range from 38.7% to 118.4% of its rated capacity, and an efficiency of 88.1% at its peak pressure\u2014all metrics representing internationally leading performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/en.esplaza.com.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/b144a7dd2a7460e4a1508bfa7a9e2f84_1770194974666615-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/en.esplaza.com.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/b144a7dd2a7460e4a1508bfa7a9e2f84_1770194974666615-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/en.esplaza.com.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/b144a7dd2a7460e4a1508bfa7a9e2f84_1770194974666615-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/en.esplaza.com.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/b144a7dd2a7460e4a1508bfa7a9e2f84_1770194974666615-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/en.esplaza.com.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/b144a7dd2a7460e4a1508bfa7a9e2f84_1770194974666615.png 1269w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The compressor is one of the most critical core components of a CAES system. Its primary function during the energy storage phase is to compress ambient air to a high-pressure state and store it in a reservoir, thereby converting electrical energy into pressure and thermal energy of the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through independent innovation, the research team overcame key technical challenges, including overall system design and optimization, full three-dimensional flow optimization, design of long-rotor complex shaft structures, and efficient control under varying operational conditions. This led to the successful development of the world&#8217;s first CAES compressor with a single-unit power exceeding 100 MW, which possesses complete independent intellectual property rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to existing CAES compressors, this unit more than doubles the single-unit power capacity, significantly reduces unit costs, and offers advantages such as higher efficiency, greater pressure capability, and a wider operational range.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently, the Institute of Engineering Thermophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has made a&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1286,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1285","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-company","category-tech"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.esplaza.com.cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1285","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.esplaza.com.cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.esplaza.com.cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.esplaza.com.cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.esplaza.com.cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1285"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/en.esplaza.com.cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1285\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1287,"href":"https:\/\/en.esplaza.com.cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1285\/revisions\/1287"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.esplaza.com.cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1286"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.esplaza.com.cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1285"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.esplaza.com.cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1285"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.esplaza.com.cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1285"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
