Intermittency is a major challenge for wind power and remains a key hurdle to the widespread deployment of renewable energy. To address this issue, General Compression builds Dispatchable Wind farms designed to deliver renewable electricity to customers on demand. The General Compression Advanced Energy Storage (GCAES™) system takes intermittent electricity from conventional wind turbines and stores that energy in the form of high-pressure air in underground geologic formations. Electricity is created on demand when air is released from storage, powering the system in reverse and delivering electricity. This fuel-free method of creating Dispatchable Wind power helps increase the value of wind, making wind energy a more viable, cost effective and friendly option to customers on the grid.
