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

6 FAQs about [Basseterre mine compressed air energy storage]
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.
Can abandoned coal mines be used as compressed air reservoirs?
In this paper, abandoned mines are proposed as underground reservoirs for large scale energy storage systems. A 200 m 3 tunnel in an abandoned coal mine was investigated as compressed air reservoir for A-CAES plants, where the ambient air is stored at high pressure.
Can abandoned mines be used as compressed air storage systems?
Underground space in abandoned mines may be used as compressed air storage systems for CAES plants. The simplified schematic diagram of the CAES system is shown in Figure 1. The compressor and turbine facilities are installed above the ground, while the compressed air reservoir is underground.
Are high wind energy resources suitable for compressed air energy storage (CAES)?
In the US, it is shown that a significant overlap exists between high wind energy resources and depleted or abandoned subsurface formations of oil and gas that are suitable for the deployment of Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES).
How much does compressed-air energy storage cost in the UK?
This UK storage potential is achievable at costs in the range US$0.42–4.71 kWh−1. Compressed-air energy storage could be a useful inter-seasonal storage resource to support highly renewable power systems.
Could compressed-air energy storage be a useful inter-seasonal storage resource?
Compressed-air energy storage could be a useful inter-seasonal storage resource to support highly renewable power systems. This study presents a modelling approach to assess the potential for such storage in porous rocks and, applying it to the UK, finds availability of up to 96 TWh in offshore saline aquifers.
