Compressed air energy storage (CAES) systems were historically proposed, developed, and analyzed in the context of intermittent sources of energy, such as solar and wind. Goal was to increase the capacity factor and to improve economic feasibility of these energy sources for local- or grid-scale energy storage [2–6] .
This energy storage system functions by utilizing electricity to compress air during off-peak hours, which is then stored in underground caverns. When energy demand is elevated during the peak hours, the stored compressed air is released, expanding and passing through a turbine to generate electricity.
By comparing different possible technologies for energy storage, Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) is recognized as one of the most effective and economical technologies to conduct long-term, large-scale energy storage.

Compressed-air energy storage (CAES) is a way to store energy for later use using compressed air. At a utility scale, energy generated during periods of low demand can be released during peak load periods. The first utility-scale CAES project was in the Huntorf power plant in Elsfleth, Germany, and is still operational . The Huntorf plant was initially developed as a load balancer for fossil-fuel-generated electricity
Lead-acid (LA) batteries. LA batteries are the most popular and oldest electrochemical energy storage device (invented in 1859). It is made up of two electrodes (a metallic sponge lead anode and a lead dioxide as a cathode, as shown in Fig. 34) immersed in an electrolyte made up of 37% sulphuric acid and 63% water.
