The results indicated that the pressure fluctuation rates during the energy storage and release processes were 0.5 % and 0.4 %, respectively, indicating excellent isobaric charging and discharging performance.

The modeled compressed air storage systems use both electrical energy (to compress air and possibly to generate hydrogen) and heating energy provided by natural gas (only conventional CAES). We use three metrics to compare their energy use: heat rate, work ratio, and roundtrip exergy efficiency (storage efficiency).
A small prototype (~0.29 m 3) of this VVAS device was designed and modeled, and simulations were conducted at an air storage pressure of 0.4 MPa. The results showed that the energy storage density of the proposed VS-CAES system was approximately 71.52 kJ/m 3, with an air storage efficiency of 97.5 %.
Under the storage pressure of 0.186 MPa, the energy density was 309.48 kJ/m 3, double that of the conventional air storage device. However, the fatigue characteristic of the superelastic material has not been tested, which is crucial for the system's stability and maintenance costs.
In low demand periods, energy is stored by compressing air in an air tight space (typically 4.0~8.0 MPa) such as an underground storage cavern. To store energy, air is compressed and sealed in the space. To extract the stored energy, compressed air is drawn from the storage vessel, mixed with fuel, and then combusted. The expanded air is then passed through a turbine.
Storage technologies are being developed to tackle this challenge. Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is a relatively mature technology with currently more attractive economics compared to other bulk energy storage systems capable of delivering tens of megawatts over several hours, such as pumped hydroelectric [1–3].
