The technology of storing energy by compressing air and keeping it in a suitable reservoir. Surplus electrical energy is used to compress the air, which is stored in an underground cavern or in a special container. Old mines are often used as suitable spaces. When needed, the air is released on an air turbine to produce electricity.
