3.1.5 Compressed Air Storage. Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) is an option in which the pressure energy is stored by compressing a gas, generally air, into a high pressure reservoir. The compressed air is expanded into a turbine to derive mechanical energy and hence run an electrical generator.
In an uncompensated isochoric air storage mode, the air pressure in the storage increases from the minimum operating pressure to the maximum operating pressure, with the injection of compressed air. When the maximum operating pressure is reached, air will not be pressurised into the storage, and the charge process stops.
