Compressed air is air that is pressurised to greater than atmospheric pressure. It is exactly the same as the air that you breathe only it has been forced to a smaller volume and kept under pressure. Air is made up of 78% nitrogen, 20-21% oxygen and around 1-2% of other gases as well as water vapour.
This project develops and demonstrates a megawatt (MW)-scale Energy Storage System that employs compressed air as the storage medium. An isothermal compressed air energy storage (ICAESTM) system rated for 1 MW or more will be demonstrated in a full-scale prototype unit. Breakthrough cost-effectiveness will be

The 110 MW McIntosh plant can operate for up to 26 h at full power. The compressed air is stored in a salt cavern. A recuperator is operated to reuse the exhaust heat energy. This reduces the fuel consumption by 22–25% and improves the cycle efficiency from ∼42% to ∼54%, in comparison with the Huntorf plant.

Introduction. Adiabatic compressed air energy storage (ACAES) is frequently suggested as a promising alternative for bulk electricity storage, alongside more established technologies such as pumped hydroelectric storage and, more recently, high-capacity batteries, but as yet no viable ACAES plant exists.
So far, the main storage technologies [7] are: battery, fuel cell, compressed air energy storage, pumped hydro storage and thermal energy storage. As one of the most promising large-scale energy storage technologies, compressed air energy storage (CAES) system with the advantages of low cost and pollution, efficient
2.1. How it all began The fundamental idea to store electrical energy by means of compressed air dates back to the early 1940s [2] then the patent application "Means for Storing Fluids for Power Generation" was submitted by F.W. Gay to the US Patent Office [3]..
1.1. Compressed air energy storage concept. CAES, a long-duration energy storage technology, is a key technology that can eliminate the intermittence and fluctuation in renewable energy systems used for generating electric power, which is expected to accelerate renewable energy penetration [7], [11], [12], [13], [14].

Compressed air energy storage or simply CAES is one of the many ways that energy can be stored during times of high production for use at a time when there is high electricity demand. Description CAES takes the energy delivered to the system (by wind power for example) to run an air compressor, which pressurizes air and pushes it underground
In supporting power network operation, compressed air energy storage works by compressing air to high pressure using compressors during the periods of low electric energy demand and then the stored compressed
