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
Paul M. Cronk and James D. Van de Ven. Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, USA. ABSTRACT. This review will consider the state-of-the art in the storage of mechanical energy for hydraulic systems. It will begin by considering the traditional energy storage device, the hydro-pneumatic accumulator.

Pneumatics is a method of providing motion by using compressed air. Pneumatic systems use compressors to store a volume of air. Control valves and piping are then used for direction and flow rate of the stored air to provide air to the actuator of the system. The actuators are then used to provide movement to the system by transforming the
