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.

Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) stores energy by compressing air and is suitable for large-scale energy storage applications. It helps balance supply and demand on the energy grid. Air is compressed during periods of low energy demand. When energy is needed, the compressed air is released to drive turbines, generating electricity.
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.
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.
In 2023, Alliant Energy announced plans to construct a 200-MWh compressed CO 2 facility based on the Sardinia facility in Columbia County, Wisconsin. It will be the first of its kind in the United States. Compressed air energy storage may be stored in undersea caves in Northern Ireland.
More than 70% efficiency (from literature) was also obtained when thermal energy storage was also integrated in adiabatic CAES systems . With the use of a radial compressor, an adiabatic compressed air storage system operating at a lower temperature was also investigated.
The performance of compressed air energy storage systems is centred round the efficiency of the compressors and expanders. It is also important to determine the losses in the system as energy transfer occurs on these components. There are several compression and expansion stages: from the charging, to the discharging phases of the storage system.
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.
