Among the different ES technologies, compressed air energy storage (CAES) can store tens to hundreds of MW of power capacity for long-term applications and utility-scale. The increasing need for large-scale ES has led to the rising interest and development of CAES projects.
Current long-term energy storage is mainly provided by Pumped-Storage Hydroelectricity (PSH). Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) has appeared for decades as a credible alternative but its poor energy efficiency, the need of fossil fuels and the use of existing underground cavities as storage reservoirs have limited its development.
CAES systems are categorized into large-scale compressed air ES systems and small-scale CAES. Large-scale systems are capable of producing >100 MW, while the small-scale systems only produce 10 MW or less . Moreover, the reservoirs for large-scale CAES are underground geological formations such as salt formations, host rocks and porous media.
