During deflation, the air was released straight to atmosphere, as the aim of the test was just to exercise the Energy Bags and assess their design; obviously the high-pressure air released
Compressed air energy storage (CAES) plants are largely equivalent to pumped-hydro power plants in terms of their applications. But, instead of pumping water from a lower to an upper pond during periods of excess power, in a CAES
This results in large pressure different ratio between the high and low pressure reservoirs, and thus reduces the efficiency of the system, increasing thermal energy losses. A
2.1 Fundamental principle. CAES is an energy storage technology based on gas turbine technology, which uses electricity to compress air and stores the high-pressure air in storage reservoir by means of
The outlet air of the turbine is directly vented to the ambient environment, and the outlet air pressure is atmospheric. The air pressure inside the storage tank and inlet air pressure of expansion during the discharge

Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is a promising energy storage technology due to its cleanness, high efficiency, low cost, and long service life. This paper surveys state-of-the-art technologies of CAES, and makes endeavors to demonstrate the fundamental principles, classifications and operation modes of CAES.
Hence, hydraulic compressed air energy storage technology has been proposed, which combines the advantages of pumped storage and compressed air energy storage technologies. This technology offers promising applications and thus has garnered considerable attention in the energy storage field.
Expansion machines are designed for various compressed air energy storage systems and operations. An efficient compressed air storage system will only be materialised when the appropriate expanders and compressors are chosen. The performance of compressed air energy storage systems is centred round the efficiency of the compressors and expanders.
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.
2. Underwater compressed air energy storage system In the 1980s, Laing et al. proposed the UWCAES technology, which realizes the constant-pressure storage of compressed air through hydrostatic pressure.
The main exergy storage system is the high-grade thermal energy storage. The reset of the air is kept in the low-grade thermal energy storage, which is between points 8 and 9. This stage is carried out to produce pressurized air at ambient temperature captured at point 9. The air is then stored in high-pressure storage (HPS).
