Conclusions With excellent storage duration, capacity, and power, compressed air energy storage systems enable the integration of renewable energy into future electrical grids. There has been a significant limit to the adoption rate of CAES due to its reliance on underground formations for storage.
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.
The step-by-step process of energy storage and release in Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) involves several critical stages: Compress air during low demand periods. Store the compressed air in facilities. Release the stored energy when demand increases.
Modern CAES systems store compressed air either in man-made containers at ground level or underground (e.g., salt caverns, hard rock caverns, saline aquifers) [17, 19]. Additionally, offshore and underwater storage systems have been tested and are in the process of rapid development .
