Thermodynamic Cycle and Energy Transfer Fundamentals by a P&ID principle diagram for "Salt Caves" (Salt Domes) in Iğdır, Tuzluca province to be used as an "Energy Storage System"

The salt caves in Iğdır province provide extensive benefits for health purposes in addition to their tourism use, and the Iğdır University Salt Therapy Center in Tuzluca district provides important services to human health. These salt caves in Iğdır can serve as an "Energy Storage System" for industrial purposes, in addition to their tourism and health uses. In this article, entitled as “Thermodynamic Cycle and Energy Transfer Fundamentals by a P&ID principle diagram for "Salt Caves" (Salt Domes) in Iğdır, Tuzluca province to be used as an "Energy Storage System"; scientific and technical information is given about the project that allows the "Salt Caves" (Salt Domes) in our Iğdır, Tuzluca province to be used as an "Energy Storage System" in addition to their current usage purposes. While a compressor-driven gas turbine system can only transfer about one-third of the generated electrical energy to the grid, it is evident that if the gas turbine is connected to a Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) system, all the generated electrical energy can be transferred to the grid, achieving a very high system efficiency. In a gas turbine system, when electrical energy is conventionally produced, 2/3 of the generated energy is used to compress the air in the turbine compressor. If a CAES system is implemented and salt caverns are used as an energy storage facility, almost all of the generated energy can be fed into the grid as useful electrical energy. The salt domes (salt caves) in Iğdır province of Turkey provide extensive benefits for health purposes as well as being used for tourism purposes, and provide important services to human health by means of the Iğdır University Salt Therapy Center located in Tuzluca district. These salt domes in Iğdır can serve as an "Energy Storage System" for industrial purposes as well as being used for tourism and health purposes. The name of the energy production system described in this article is “Compressed Air Energy Storage System (CAES)” and it is usually operated combined with a gas turbine system. [7], [8], [9], [16]
