Abstract
A green community system centered around a transfer line compressed air energy storage system (TL-CAES). The TL-CAES system can supply compressed air to distant locations, and can be feed into companders to produce super-chilled air which can be used to improve the efficiency of natural gas generator sets. The generator sets can provide facilities with electricity and the super-chilled air can provide the facilities with heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems. The compressed air in the TL-CAES system is to be provided by a transportable compressed air storage system (T-CAES). Air compressors driven powered by green energy sources provide compressed air for the T-CAES system. The compressed air supply in conjunction with companders can further systems such as water purification and carbon dioxide extraction.
