Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) systems offer a promising approach to addressing the intermittency of renewable energy sources by utilising excess electrical power to compress air that is stored under high pressure. At a utility scale, energy generated during periods of low demand can be released during peak load periods. The compressed air energy storage system described in this paper is suitable for storing large amounts of energy for extended periods of time.
