Abstract

This report presents the technology of compressed air and thermo energy storages. The project is made by the EPS group of autumn and spring. The Project Owner and Novia European Project Semester (EPS) Program gives the EPS team working on a project in Spring Semester a straight goal which was to finish off a lab-scale CAES demo for studentsthat was started by a previous EPS Autumn Semester team. The demo would enable students to do measurements and get an insight into Compressed Air and Thermal Energy Storages thus expanding their competence in the field of energy storage. Project Management is vital in this project and is explained discussing; work breakdown structure, problem analysis (WBS) and explanation of different WBS topics, problem analysis, quality management, cost management, human resource management, team dynamics, S.W.O.T., communication management, risk management, time management and change management. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the scope of the project was redefined and made the project more theoretical and analysis of lab results for tests carried out earlier in the project. The report focuses on laying out completion plans that will enable the completion of the demo by another party. Some of the focus areas are redesigning solutions for gears and bracket for expander holder and the digitalisation plan, with LabView as a chosen platform. The report ends with a discussion of the carried-out tasks and recommendations for the continuation work on the demo.
