The compressed air energy storage system described in this paper is suitable for storing large amounts of energy for extended periods of time. Particularly, in North America, China and other areas, where rock salt layers are widely distributed, using underground spaces formed in the rock salt layers to store compressed air can reduce the unit

As the world transitions to decarbonized energy systems, emerging long-duration energy storage technologies are crucial for supporting the large-scale deployment of renewable energy sources.
What is compressed air energy storage? 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.
The comparison and discussion of these CAES technologies are summarized with a focus on technical maturity, power sizing, storage capacity, operation pressure, round-trip efficiency, efficiency of the components, operation duration, and investment cost. Potential application trends were compiled.
Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) has emerged as one of the most promising large-scale energy storage technologies for balancing electricity supply and demand in modern power grids.

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.

For example, liquid air energy storage (LAES) reduces the storage volume by a factor of 20 compared with compressed air storage (CAS).
“Liquid air energy storage” (LAES) systems have been built, so the technology is technically feasible. Moreover, LAES systems are totally clean and can be sited nearly anywhere, storing vast amounts of electricity for days or longer and delivering it when it’s needed. But there haven’t been conclusive studies of its economic viability.
New research finds liquid air energy storage could be the lowest-cost option for ensuring a continuous power supply on a future grid dominated by carbon-free but intermittent sources of electricity.
The “Energy Storage Grand Challenge” prepared by the United States Department of Energy (DOE) reports that among all energy storage technologies, compressed air energy storage (CAES) offers the lowest total installed cost for large-scale application (over 100 MW and 4 h).
