15. Conclusions Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) represents a versatile and powerful technology that addresses many of the challenges associated with integrating large amounts of renewable energy
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.
2. Storage: The compressed air is stored, typically in large underground caverns such as salt domes, abandoned mines, or depleted natural gas reservoirs. Above-ground alternatives include high-pressure tanks or specially designed vessels, though these are generally more expensive and limited in capacity.
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.
