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.
This energy storage system functions by utilizing electricity to compress air during off-peak hours, which is then stored in underground caverns. When energy demand is elevated during the peak hours, the stored compressed air is released, expanding and passing through a turbine to generate electricity.
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.
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.
The compressed air is stored in air tanks and the reverse operation drives an alternator which supplies the power to whatever establishment the energy storage system is serving, be it a factory or other building or whatever. LiGE estimates the efficiency of the system to be in excess of 90 percent.
The compressed air is then stored in a dedicated pressurized reservoir, which can be either an underground cavern or an aboveground tank, typically maintained at a pressure of 40-80 bar. During the discharge phase, the elastic potential energy stored in the compressed air is harnessed.

OverviewTypesCompressors and expandersStorageEnvironmental ImpactHistoryProjectsStorage thermodynamics
Compression of air creates heat; the air is warmer after compression. Expansion removes heat. If no extra heat is added, the air will be much colder after expansion. If the heat generated during compression can be stored and used during expansion, then the efficiency of the storage improves considerably. There are several ways in which a CAES system can deal with heat. Air storage can be adiabatic, diabatic, isothermal, or near-isothermal.
