What is a compressed air energy storage system
Compressed Air Energy Storage is a technology that stores energy by using electricity to compress air and store it in large underground caverns or tanks. When energy is needed, the compressed air is released, expanded, and heated to drive a turbine, which generates electricity. At a utility scale, energy generated during periods of low demand can be released during peak load periods. . Compressed air energy storage or simply CAES is one of the many ways that energy can be stored during times of high production for use at a time when there is high electricity demand. It plays a pivotal role in the advancing realm of renewable energy. Since the 1870's, CAES systems have been deployed. .
