Compressed-air energy storage can also be employed on a smaller scale, such as exploited by air cars and air-driven locomotives, and can use high-strength (e.g., carbon-fiber) air-storage tanks. In order to retain the energy stored in compressed air, this tank should be thermally isolated from the environment; otherwise, the energy stored will

Compressed-air energy storage (CAES) is a technology in which energy is stored in the form of compressed air, with the amount stored being dependent on the volume of the pressure storage vessel, the pressure at which the air is stored, and the temperature at which it is stored. A simplified, grid-connected CAES system is shown in
Federation Group. Strategically located next to the existing Marguerite Lake substation, the first phase comprises 320 MW capacity and up to 48 hours of electricity (15360 MWh). Its primary purpose is to store surplus electricity from the grid by compressing air and storing it in underground salt caverns created through solution mining.

Compressed Air Energy Storage, or CAES, is essentially a form of energy storage technology. Ambient air is compressed and stored under pressure in underground caverns using surplus or off-peak power. During times of peak power usage, air is heated (and therefore expands), which drives a turbine to generate power that is then exported to the
