The main exergy storage system is the high-grade thermal energy storage. The reset of the air is kept in the low-grade thermal energy storage, which is between points 8 and 9. This stage is carried out to produce pressurized air at ambient temperature captured at point 9. The air is then stored in high-pressure storage (HPS).
Hence, hydraulic compressed air energy storage technology has been proposed, which combines the advantages of pumped storage and compressed air energy storage technologies. This technology offers promising applications and thus has garnered considerable attention in the energy storage field.
Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is an effective solution for balancing this mismatch and therefore is suitable for use in future electrical systems to achieve a high penetration of renewable energy generation.
Energy storage equipment are promising in the context of the green transformation of energy structures. They can be used to consume renewable energy on the power side, balance load and power generation on the grid side, and form a microgrid simultaneously with other energy sources.
Expansion machines are designed for various compressed air energy storage systems and operations. An efficient compressed air storage system will only be materialised when the appropriate expanders and compressors are chosen. The performance of compressed air energy storage systems is centred round the efficiency of the compressors and expanders.
For a higher-grade thermal energy storage system, the heat of compression is maintained after every compression, and this is denoted between point 3–4, 5–6 and 7–8. The main exergy storage system is the high-grade thermal energy storage. The reset of the air is kept in the low-grade thermal energy storage, which is between points 8 and 9.
How Does Compressed Air Energy Storage Work?
The growth of renewable power generation is experiencing a remarkable surge worldwide. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), it is projected that by 2050, the share of wind and solar in the U.S. power-generation mix will reach 38 percent, which is twice the proportion recorded in 2019.
Compressed Air Energy Storage
In times of excess electricity on the grid (for instance due to the high power delivery at times when demand is low), a compressed air energy storage plant can compress air and store the compressed air in a cavern underground. At times when demand is high, the stored air can be released and the energy can be recuperated.

Compressed and liquid air for long duration & high capacity
Compressed air energy storage (CAES) works in a similar way to LAES, but instead of the air being converted to a liquid, it is contained in a large underground storage cavern. When the electricity grid needs a power top-up, the high-pressure air is released through a turbine to generate power.

Specifically, during energy storage, high-pressure CO 2 needs to be condensed into liquid, while during energy discharge, the liquid in the high-pressure tank needs to be evaporated into vapor. Furthermore, to increase the pressure ratio and reduce the cost, VL-CCES utilizes flexible gas storage (FGS) to store gaseous CO 2 at atmospheric pressure. For the …

What Is Compressed Air Energy Storage?
Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is a way of capturing energy for use at a later time by means of a compressor. The system uses the energy to be stored to drive the compressor. When the energy is needed, the pressurized air is released. That, in a nutshell, is how CAES works. Of course, in reality it is often more complicated.

CAES systems are often considered an environmentally friendly alternative to other large-scale energy storage technologies due to their reliance on naturally occurring resources, such as salt caverns for air storage and ambient air as the working medium. Unlike lithium-ion batteries, which require the extraction of finite resources such as lithium and cobalt, CAES has a minimal environmental footprint during its lifecycle.
