As of late 2012, there are three existing large scale compressed air energy storage facilities worldwide. All three current CAES projects use large underground salt caverns to store energy. The first is located in Huntorf, Germany, and was completed in 1978.
Compressed-air energy storage can also be employed on a smaller scale, such as exploited by air cars and air-driven locomotives, and can use high-strength (e.g., carbon-fiber) air-storage tanks.
Compressed air energy storage (CAES) plants are largely equivalent to pumped-hydro power plants in terms of their applications. But, instead of pumping water from a lower to an upper pond during periods of excess power, in a CAES plant, ambient air or another gas is compressed and stored under pressure in an underground cavern or container.
Advantages of Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) 1. Large-Scale Storage: CAES systems are capable of storing vast amounts of energy, making them ideal for grid-scale applications. They are especially useful in combination with wind farms, where large quantities of excess energy may be generated during windy periods. 2.
Contrasted with traditional batteries, compressed-air systems can store energy for longer periods of time and have less upkeep. Energy from a source such as sunlight is used to compress air, giving it potential energy.
