The number of sites available for compressed air energy storage is higher compared to those of pumped hydro [, ]. Porous rocks and cavern reservoirs are also ideal storage sites for CAES. Gas storage locations are capable of being used as sites for storage of compressed air .
Overview of compressed air energy storage Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is the use of compressed air to store energy for use at a later time when required , , , , . Excess energy generated from renewable energy sources when demand is low can be stored with the application of this technology.
Gas storage locations are capable of being used as sites for storage of compressed air . Today, several research activities are being carried out to explore the application of CAES on small scale projects, following their successful integration on large scale renewable energy systems , , , .
For the advanced adiabatic compressed air energy storage system depicted in Fig. 11, compression of air is done at a pressure of 2.4 bars, followed by rapid cooling. There is considerable waste of heat caused by the exergy of the compressed air. This occurs due to two factors.
For diabatic compressed air energy storage systems, with the application of isochoric compressed air storage, the pressure in the cavern must be throttled, even though it often exceeds the pressure in the combustion chamber.
The compressed air storages built above the ground are designed from steel. These types of storage systems can be installed everywhere, and they also tend to produce a higher energy density. The initial capital cost for above- the-ground storage systems are very high.
