Integrating compressed air energy storage with wind energy

Abstract. - With an increasing capacity of wind energy globally, wind-driven Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) technology has gained significant momentum in recent years. However, unlike traditional CAES systems, a wind-driven CAES system operates with more frequent fluctuations due to the intermittent nature of wind power.

Underwater Ocean Energy Storage

Shoreside CAES plants typically deliver air to turbines at 650-1090 psi. To achieve this same pressure a marine energy storage device will need to be between 1,475 to 2,460 feet underwater. If anything goes wrong at this depth you''re looking at a costly repair using remotely operated vehicles (ROVs).
