2.2. CAES operational parameters. CAES devices store electrical energy by using an electric motor to compress air, which is then stored in a reservoir (typically an underground formation). Compressed air is then used at a later time to generate electricity by expanding the compressed air through a series of turbines.
3.1.5 Compressed Air Storage. Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) is an option in which the pressure energy is stored by compressing a gas, generally air, into a high pressure reservoir. The compressed air is expanded into a turbine to derive mechanical energy and hence run an electrical generator.
