Compressed-air-energy storage (CAES) is a way to store energy for later use using compressed air. At a utility scale, energy generated during periods of low demand can be released during peak load periods. The first utility-scale CAES project was in the Huntorf power plant in Elsfleth, Germany, and is still operational as of 2024.
Compressed air energy storage has a significant impact on the energy sector by providing large-scale, long-duration energy storage solutions. CAES systems can store excess energy during periods of low demand and release it during peak demand, helping to balance supply and demand on the grid.
Seymour [98, 99] introduced the concept of an OCAES system as a modified CAES system as an alternative to underground cavern. An ocean-compressed air energy storage system concept design was developed by Saniel et al. and was further analysed and optimized by Park et al. .
Compressed air energy storage may be stored in undersea caves in Northern Ireland. In order to achieve a near- thermodynamically-reversible process so that most of the energy is saved in the system and can be retrieved, and losses are kept negligible, a near-reversible isothermal process or an isentropic process is desired.

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 ...
