What is Compressed Air Energy Storage? Compressed Air Energy Storage, or CAES, is essentially a form of energy storage technology. Ambient air is compressed and stored under pressure in underground caverns using surplus or off-peak power. During times of peak power usage, air is heated (and therefore expands), which drives a turbine to generate
Compressed air energy storage charges by pressurising air and funnelling it into a storage medium, often a salt cavern, and discharges it by releasing the compressed air through a heating system, which expands air before it is sent through a turbine generator.A-CAES (Premium access article) works in much the same way, but it takes the heat from the
