Technical FAQs 4

What is compressed air energy storage (CAES)?

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.

What are the different types of energy storage technologies?

Current energy storage technologies encompass mechanical storage (e.g., pumped hydro energy storage [PHES], flywheel energy storage), thermodynamic storage (e.g., compressed air energy storage [CAES], compressed CO 2 energy storage [CCES], Carnot batteries [CBs]), and electrochemical storage (e.g., lithium-ion batteries, flow batteries).

Why do we need a long-term energy storage system?

Long-term solutions, such as CAES, are essential when compared with other approaches, like hydrogen energy storage, which is clean but currently more costly and less efficient. A compressed natural gas (CNG) storage system stores energy in the form of compressed natural gas.

How does compressed air energy storage technology work?

At its core, Compressed Air Energy Storage Technology works on a fairly simple principle: use electricity to compress air, store it under pressure, and then release it later to generate power. Think of it like charging a giant “air battery.”
