The second commercial CAES plant, owned by the Alabama Energy Cooperative (AEC) in McIntosh, Alabama, has been in operation for more than 15 years since 1991. The CAES system stores compressed air with a pressure of up to 7.5 MPa in an underground cavern located in a solution mined salt dome 450m below the surface.
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 …

Low-temperature Adiabatic Compressed Air Energy Storage (LTA-CAES) represents a new approach to realize non-fuel consuming CAES. The approach aims at comparatively low storage temperatures of 95–200 °C. It makes use of the fact that cycle efficiency of A-CAES plants is not governed by the Carnot efficiency.
Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is known to have strong potential to deliver high performance energy storage at large scales for relatively low costs compared with any other solution. Although only two large-scale CAES plant are presently operational, energy is stored in the form of compressed air in a vast number of situations and the …
A promising method for energy storage and an alternative to pumped hydro storage is compressed air energy storage, with high reliability, economic feasibility and its low environmental impact. Although large scale CAES plants are still in operation, this technology is not widely implemented due to large dissipation of heat of compression.
