Abstract

The growing interest in ecological energy sources is driving the dynamic development of energy storage. Increasing the efficiency of compressed air energy storage is associated with the efficiency of energy utilisation. This paper shows the possibilities of developing an energy utilisation component such as the compressed air engine. The authors present simulation results that show better engine performance when using a three-cylinder solution.
