Among all energy storage systems, the compressed air energy storage (CAES) as mechanical energy storage has shown its unique eligibility in terms of clean storage medium, scalability, high lifetime, long discharge time, low self-discharge, high durability, and relatively low capital cost per unit of stored energy.
Compressed Air Energy Storage. Electrical Energy Storage (EES) refers to a process of converting electrical energy from a power network into a form that can be stored for converting back to electrical energy when needed [1-3]. Such a process enables electricity to be produced at times of either low demand, low generation cost or from ...
