Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is one of the many energy storage options that can store electric energy in the form of potential energy (compressed air) and can be deployed near central power plants or distribution centers. In response to demand, the stored energy can be discharged by expanding the stored air with a turboexpander generator.
Addressing these challenges requires advancements in long-duration energy storage systems. Promising approaches include improving technologies such as compressed air energy storage and vanadium redox flow batteries to reduce capacity costs and enhance discharge efficiency.
Nature Reviews Electrical Engineering 2, 79–80 (2025) Cite this article Grid-scale, long-duration energy storage has been widely recognized as an important means to address the intermittency of wind and solar power.
For example, the state of Kansas has facilitated these processes with their Compressed Air Energy Storage Act , effective since 2009. A study that reports on promising locations, permitting processes and challenges, and mitigating solutions would help developers navigate these issues during the planning phase.
CAES is dissimilar to other energy storage technologies, although it does share a feature with pumped storage hydropower: it comprises a series of subsystems, which include mature technologies, such as compressors, expanders, turbines, and heat exchangers.
The energy density of CAES systems exceed pumped storage hydropower densities of 0.5 to 1.5 kWh/m3, is lower than vanadium redox flow battery densities of 10 to 70 kWh/m3, and is much lower than lithium-ion systems, which register energy densities ranging from 150 to 500 kWh/m3 .
