Abstract
A CAES power generation device includes a plurality of compression/expansion/combined machines, a pressure accumulation unit for storing compressed air, a plurality of heat exchangers, a heat storage unit for storing a heating medium, and a plurality of first containers 10 having a rectangular parallelepiped shape for accommodating the plurality of compression/expansion/combined machines and the plurality of heat exchangers. The plurality of first containers are arranged side by side so that long side surfaces face each other. The long side surface of the first container is provided with at least one vent being an outlet of a pipe for communicating the compression/expansion/combined machine with the outside of the container. A short side surface of the first container is provided with a first takeout port for taking out an air pipe that fluidly connects the compression/expansion/combined machine and the pressure accumulation unit, and a second takeout port for taking out a heating medium pipe that fluidly connects the heat exchanger and the heat storage unit.
