As promising as compressed air appears as a storage medium, it does have some drawbacks. When air is compressed, it heats up. When it expands, it cools. Cold air isn''t as effective at producing power when it is run through a turbine, so before the air can be used, it needs to be heated, frequently using natural gas, which produces CO …
Energy storage (ES) plays a key role in the energy transition to low-carbon economies due to the rising use of intermittent renewable energy in electrical grids. Among the different ES technologies, compressed air energy storage (CAES) can store tens to hundreds of MW of power capacity for long-term applications and utility-scale.
