Abstract. A compressed air energy storage (CAES) system is an electricity storage technology under the category of mechanical energy storage (MES) systems, and is most appropriate for large-scale use and longer storage applications. In a CAES system, the surplus electricity to be stored is used to produce compressed air at high pressures.
Energy storage systems are increasingly gaining importance with regard to their role in achieving load levelling, especially for matching intermittent sources of renewable energy with customer demand, as well as for storing excess nuclear or thermal power during the daily cycle.

One function the Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) technology is very good at is load shifting. Load shifting is achieved by storing energy during periods of low demand and releasing the stored energy during periods of high demand. The NETL (2008) study notes that load shifting comes in several different forms.
Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is a promising method for storing energy on a large scale. Although CAES has been studied over a few decades and two commercial CAES power plants have been operated since the 1990s (Glendenning 1976; Mehta and Spencer 1988; Crotogino et al. 2001), more recent studies have been

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 . The Huntorf plant was initially developed as a load balancer for fossil-fuel-generated electricity
