Technical FAQs 4

What is compressed air energy storage (CAES)?

Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) offers potential, but faces challenges including poor efficiency and reliance on fossil fuels. In this context, the EU-funded Air4NRG project aims to improve long-term energy storage. Specifically, it targets over 70 % round-trip efficiency, sustainability, and integration with the grid.

What is a compressed air energy storage project?

A compressed air energy storage (CAES) project in Hubei, China, has come online, with 300MW/1,500MWh of capacity. The 5-hour duration project, called Hubei Yingchang, was built in two years with a total investment of CNY1.95 billion (US$270 million) and uses abandoned salt mines in the Yingcheng area of Hubei, China’s sixth-most populous province.

Is compressed air energy storage a viable solution?

Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) has been a valid possible solution for decades. However, its poor energy efficiency, the need for fossil fuels to regenerate electricity, and the use of underground cavities as storage reservoirs have limited its development and use.

What is air-based solar power & compressed air energy storage?

It integrates air-based, central-receiver concentrated solar power with compressed air energy storage to maximise energy conversion efficiency and facilitate effective energy management for power grids. As a result, it will enable the creation of new operational strategies and business models.
