Introduction Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) has emerged as one of the most promising large-scale energy storage technologies for balancing electricity supply and demand in modern power grids. Renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power, despite their many benefits, are inherently intermittent.
Most compressed air energy storage systems addressed in literature are large-scale systems of above 100 MW which most of the time use depleted mines as the cavity to store the high pressure fluid. Three main concepts are researched; diabatic, adiabatic and isothermal.
Advantages of Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) CAES technology has several advantages over other energy storage systems. Firstly, it has a high storage capacity and can store energy for long periods. Secondly, it is a clean technology that doesn't emit pollutants or greenhouse gases during energy generation.
The operation principle behind compressed air energy storage is simple. When there is excess electricity in a system, a fluid is compressed in a large impermeable cavity. The fluid remains in the cavity at high pressure until there is a need for power.
