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.
The air, which is pressurized, is kept in volumes, and when demand of electricity is high, the pressurized air is used to run turbines to produce electricity . There are three main types used to deal with heat in compressed air energy storage system .
Most compressed air energy storage systems addressed in literature are large-scale systems of above 100 MW which most of the time use depleted mines as the cavity to store the high pressure fluid. Three main concepts are researched; diabatic, adiabatic and isothermal.
Appendix B presents an overview of the theoretical background on compressed air energy storage. Most compressed air energy storage systems addressed in literature are large-scale systems of above 100 MW which most of the time use depleted mines as the cavity to store the high pressure fluid.
Air is compressed using compressors and is stored in the storage tanks. Over the surface storage tanks are used for lower rating and underground storage tanks are preferred in case of very high capacity plants. The compressor is run by the motor generator to which the excess available energy is fed.
Compressed air energy storage could be a valuable tool in allowing us to hit these ambitious targets. Spare Electricity within the grid is used to compress and store air under pressure, which can then be released on demand to make electricity.

Compressed-air-energy storage (CAES) is a way to store energy for later use using compressed air. At a utility scale, energy generated during periods of low demand can be released during peak load periods. The first utility-scale CAES project was in the Huntorf power plant in Elsfleth, Germany, and is still operational as of 2024 . The Huntorf plant was initially developed as a load balancer for fossil-fuel-generated electricity
