Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is one of two available grid-scale energy storage systems [11]. CAES is superior to pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) because of its relatively longer life time, much lower environmental impact, shorter construction time, higher reliability and lower installation costs [12] .
