Schematic of a generic conventional compressed air energy storage (CAES) system. The prospects for the conventional CAES technology are poor in low-carbon grids [2,6–8]. Fossil fuel (typically natural gas) combustion is needed to provide heat to prevent freezing of the moisture present in the expanding air .
Storage technologies are being developed to tackle this challenge. Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is a relatively mature technology with currently more attractive economics compared to other bulk energy storage systems capable of delivering tens of megawatts over several hours, such as pumped hydroelectric [1–3].
One of the critiques of using compressed air to store electricity at scale is its low exergy density. Here, we define exergy density of the storage facility as the ratio of the delivered exergy (i.e., expansion work) to the volume of the air storage cavern.
Compressed air energy storage (CAES) systems emerge as a viable solution to attain the target generating capacity. The fluctuations in generation patterns in wind parks create complexities in electrical grid management, requiring technological solutions to balance supply and demand.
