History of creation compressor is based on the utilization of compressed air into an air storage system.
It aims to provide low-pressure energy with relatively low cost, robustness and sustainability.
With the compressed air as energy storage method (CAES), compressors have an important role to play in renewable electricity.
Energy Storage is intended to provide large-scale availability of excess power from wind turbines and solar panels. In the annals of history, the Compressor with CAES Power Generation system was built in Germany in 1979 with operations worldwide. Then followed by the United States which began construction in 1991. At that time the results of the compressed air absorption process with the use of batteries were still unstable (limited). More than half of the energy was lost during charging and discharging. "battery". With air storage method as compressed energy (CAES)Compressor has an important role to be utilized in renewable electrical energy. Energy storage is intended to provide availability of excess power from wind turbines and solar panels on a large scale. While the pumped hydroelectric storage process should have a charge/discharge efficiency of 70-85%, and chemical batteries of 65-90%, CAES power plants operating in Germany and the United States have electricity-to-electricity efficiencies of only 40-42% and 51-54%, respectively. The benefits of compressors for work applications are very diverse, and of course compressors have previously been used throughout the world before Indonesia. The application of the use of compressors is considered very influential on the success of operating all other pneumatic equipment. In addition, compressors are also considered as new advanced machines in the achievement of new industries. The utilization of compressor power, such as for computer technology, processing levels, lubrication technology, and infrastructure industry development as one of the high-quality air compressor technologies.
