Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) at large scales, with effective management of heat, is recognised to have potential to provide affordable grid-scale energy storage. Where suitable geologies are unavailable, compressed air could be stored in pressurised steel tanks above ground, but this would incur significant storage costs.
Compressed-air energy storage (CAES) is a technology in which energy is stored in the form of compressed air, with the amount stored being dependent on the volume of the pressure storage vessel, the pressure at which the air is stored, and the temperature at which it is stored. A simplified, grid-connected CAES system is shown in …
