Technological prospects for industrial energy supply based on wind and air turbine power plants with underground compressed air accumulators

An analysis of energy supply technologies for consumers of megawatt power according to given schedules of consumption of electrical and thermal energy based on wind power plants and air turbine units with underground compressed air accumulators in the geological and climatic conditions of the Russian Arctic in the area of the Taimyr Peninsula is given and in the areas adjacent to it. An analysis of the wind energy potential in the studied region, as well as modern technologies for its industrial transformation and use, was carried out. The basics of the creation and use of underground storage facilities for the accumulation of compressed air and natural gas created in rock salt deposits are outlined, taking into account the climatic and geological conditions of the Russian Arctic. The physical foundations and technologies of pneumatic conversion and use of air as an energy carrier are considered. A conceptual scheme has been developed for converting the energy supply of the ports of Dudinka and Khatanga to “green” energy. Energy and economic assessments of the proposed method of energy production based on wind farms and air turbine units with underground compressed air accumulators were carried out.
