Zusammenfassung:•Based on the measurement of pressure and volume, the transient temperature of air is obtained.•The heat transfer behaviour of water spray and air is investigated.•With injection of water spray, the compression efficiency is improved. Compressed air energy storage (CAES) has emerged as an effective large-scale energy storage technology. This storage system can have many urban applications based on the time-dependent price of electricity. In China, the electric power companies employ batteries to store electricity when the price drops and generate electricity when the price increases. When compared with storage batteries, CAES systems have larger storage capacity (100 MWh, battery
