In various embodiments, a mechanical assembly and/or storage vessel is fluidly coupled to a circulation apparatus for receiving pressurized heat-transfer fluid from an outlet at a first elevated pressure, boosting a pressure of the heat-transfer fluid to a second pressure larger than the first pressure, and returning heat-transfer fluid to an inlet at a third pressure.

Systems and methods for efficient pumping of high-pressure fluids for energy

In various embodiments, compressed-gas energy storage and recovery systems feature one or more valves, which may be disposed within end caps of cylinder assemblies in which gas is expanded and/or compressed, for admitting fluid to and/or exhausting fluid from the cylinder assembly.

Fluid-flow control in energy storage and recovery systems

In various embodiments, dead space and associated coupling losses are reduced in energy storage and recovery systems employing compressed air.

Systems and methods for reducing dead volume in compressed-gas energy storage systems

In various embodiments, cylinder assemblies are coupled in series pneumatically, thereby reducing a range of force produced by or acting on the cylinder assemblies during expansion or compression of a gas.

Energy storage and generation systems and methods using coupled cylinder assemblies

Systems and methods for efficient pumping of high-pressure fluids for energy storage and recovery

In various embodiments, motor-pump efficiency is increased by limiting the fluid pressure communicated to the motor-pump to a range smaller than that communicated by other components of an energy storage and/or recovery system.

High-efficiency energy-conversion based on fluid expansion and compression

In various embodiments, pneumatic cylinder assemblies are coupled in series pneumatically, thereby reducing a range of force produced by or acting on the pneumatic cylinder assemblies during expansion or compression of a gas.
