Compressed air energy storage system utilizing two-phase flow to facilitate heat exchange
TL;DR: In this paper, a reversible air compressor-expander uses mechanical power to compress air and converts the energy stored in compressed air to mechanical power when it is acting as an expander.
Patent
Systems and methods for energy storage and recovery using compressed gas
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe methods and systems for the storage and recovery of energy using open-air hydraulic-pneumatic accumulator and intensifier arrangements that combine at least one accumulator with at least two intensifiers in communication with a high-pressure gas storage reservoir on a gas-side of the circuits and a combination fluid motor/pump, coupled to a combination electric generator/motor on the fluid side.

Patent
System, method and computer program product for enhancing commercial value of electrical power produced from a renewable energy power production facility
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a virtual energy storage mechanism for supplementing an output power of a wind turbine generation facility when lull periods for wind speed appear, where the wind turbine power production facility experiences a shortfall in its power production output it may make a request to the other source of electric power, and request that an increase its power output on behalf of the turbine facility.
Patent
Hydrocarbon combustion power generation system with co2 sequestration
TL;DR: In this article, a low or no pollution engine is provided for delivering power for vehicles or other power applications, which is provided by an air inlet which collects air from a surrounding environment using a technique such as liquefaction, pressure swing adsorption or membrane based air separation.

Patent
Electric power generation
TL;DR: In this paper, an induction generator is connected to the public mains supply, eliminating the need to store power, without sophisticated interface arrangements, and a second generator connected to a resistive space or water heating load can be cut in at higher energy levels.
