The basic idea of CAES is to capture and store compressed air in suitable geologic structures underground when off-peak power is available or additional load is needed on the grid for balancing. The stored high-pressure air is returned to the surface and used to produce power when additional generation is needed, such as during peak demand ...
Compressed-air energy storage (CAES) plants operate by using motors to drive compressors, which compress air to be stored in suitable storage vessels. The energy stored in the compressed air can be released to drive an expander, which in turn drives a generator to produce electricity. Compared with other energy storage (ES) …
