2 Overview of compressed air energy storage. Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is the use of compressed air to store energy for use at a later time when required [41–45]. Excess energy generated from renewable energy sources when demand is low can be stored with the application of this technology.

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 has been built in Huntorf, Germany, and is still operational. The Huntorf plant was initially developed as a load balancer for fossil fuel-generated electricity, the gl
