Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is a promising energy storage technology due to its cleanness, high efficiency, low cost, and long service life. This paper surveys state-of-the-art technologies of CAES, and makes endeavors to demonstrate the fundamental principles, classifications and operation modes of CAES.
Appendix B presents an overview of the theoretical background on compressed air energy storage. Most compressed air energy storage systems addressed in literature are large-scale systems of above 100 MW which most of the time use depleted mines as the cavity to store the high pressure fluid.
Air is compressed using compressors and is stored in the storage tanks. Over the surface storage tanks are used for lower rating and underground storage tanks are preferred in case of very high capacity plants. The compressor is run by the motor generator to which the excess available energy is fed.
