This study evaluates a novel integration of a high-temperature air-based Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plant with Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES), aiming to develop a high-efficiency and zero-emission energy storage system that can also provide inertia to the electrical grid. The concept is demonstrated through a comprehensive system-level model developed to simulate the 24-h operation of a reference case, focusing on the design and off-design performance of key components, including the compression/expansion trains, heat exchangers, and packed-bed Thermal Energy Storage (TES). Furthermore, coupling the plant with an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) bottoming cycle and waste heat recovery for industrial applications significantly improves overall efficiency. The concept enables the compression train to operate at lower pressure ratios than adiabatic CAES while operating the expansion train at a high temperature, as the necessary heat is supplied by the solar field, utilizing cost-effective, commercially available equipment. A novel heat exchanger design, inspired by heat recovery steam generators, efficiently integrates atmospheric air from the TES with pressurized air from CAES. Key findings include achieving a Round-Trip Efficiency (RTE) of 43.1 % and an electricity production-to-consumption ratio of 107.8 %, owing to the combined contributions of grid-stored electricity and dispatchable electricity production from solar energy. A comparative analysis of constant pressure versus sliding pressure operation in the expansion train further enhances efficiency. These results position the CAES-CSP concept as a promising solution, and future work will include economic evaluation and optimization to build on these findings.ElsevierIngeniería EnergéticaEuropean Union2025info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/11441/176245https://doi.org/10.1016/j.est.2025.117678reponame:idUS.
