ABSTRACT: Supercharging is the process of supplying
air for combustion at a pressure greater than that achieved by natural or
atmospheric induction, as applied to internal combustion engines. As a
consequence of demonstrated technological, economical and energetic advantages
in multiple literature evaluations concerning the large scale wind-compressed
air hybrid storage system with gas turbines, the utilization of a hybrid
wind-diesel system with compressed air storage (HWDCAS) has been frequently
explored. These will mainly have average or small scale application such as the powering of isolated sites. It has been
proven in numerous studies that the HWDCAS combined with an additional supercharging
of the diesel engines will contribute to the increase of the power and
efficiency of the diesel engine, the reduction of both fuel consumption and the
emission of greenhouse gases (GHG). This article presents the obtained results
from experimental validation of the selected design with an aim to valorize
this innovative solution and become trustworthy.
