While it is true that some types of ESSs can have negative environmental impacts, it is important to note that many different types of storage systems are available . For example, pumped hydro storage systems use water to store energy , and compressed air energy storage systems use compressed air .
With a rough estimate of 80% of U.S territory being geologically suitable for CAES, it has the potential to be a leading system within the storing of compressed air energy . One of the main disadvantages associated with this type of storage system is the need for the heating process to cause expansion.
The main limitation for this technology has to do with the start up, which is currently between 10 and 15 min because of the thermal stress being high. The air is first compressed to 2.4 bars during the first stage of compression. Medium temperature adiabatic compressed air energy storage system depicted in Fig. 13. Fig. 13.
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 .
For power plants with excess energy storage of approximately 100 MWh or more, compressed air is most economically stored underground in salt caverns, hard rock caverns, or porous rock formations. A CAES (Compressed Air Energy Storage) plant with underground storage must be built near a favorable geological formation.
