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.
Designing a compressed air energy storage system that combines high efficiency with small storage size is not self-explanatory, but a growing number of researchers show that it can be done. Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) is usually regarded as a form of large-scale energy storage, comparable to a pumped hydropower plant.
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.
In thermo-mechanical energy storage systems like compressed air energy storage (CAES), energy is stored as compressed air in a reservoir during off-peak periods, while it is used on demand during peak periods to generate power with a turbo-generator system.
The operation principle behind compressed air energy storage is simple. When there is excess electricity in a system, a fluid is compressed in a large impermeable cavity. The fluid remains in the cavity at high pressure until there is a need for power.
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.

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
