    FAQs about Composition of Western European air energy storage systems

    What is compressed air energy storage (CAES)?

    Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is an effective solution for balancing this mismatch and therefore is suitable for use in future electrical systems to achieve a high penetration of renewable energy generation.

    Where can compressed air energy be stored?

    The number of sites available for compressed air energy storage is higher compared to those of pumped hydro [, ]. Porous rocks and cavern reservoirs are also ideal storage sites for CAES. Gas storage locations are capable of being used as sites for storage of compressed air .

    Are compressed air energy storage systems suitable for different applications?

    Modularity of compressed air energy storage systems is another key issue that needs further investigation in other to make them ideal for various applications. The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.

    What is a compressed air energy storage expansion machine?

    Expansion machines are designed for various compressed air energy storage systems and operations. An efficient compressed air storage system will only be materialised when the appropriate expanders and compressors are chosen. The performance of compressed air energy storage systems is centred round the efficiency of the compressors and expanders.

    What determines the design of a compressed air energy storage system?

    The reverse operation of both components to each other determines their design when integrated on a compressed air energy storage system. The screw and scroll are two examples of expanders, classified under reciprocating and rotary types.

    What are the stages of a compressed air energy storage system?

    There are several compression and expansion stages: from the charging, to the discharging phases of the storage system. Research has shown that isentropic efficiency for compressors as well as expanders are key determinants of the overall characteristics and efficiency of compressed air energy storage systems .
