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 grid.
Compressed air energy storage may be stored in undersea caves in Northern Ireland. In order to achieve a near- thermodynamically-reversible process so that most of the energy is saved in the system and can be retrieved, and losses are kept negligible, a near-reversible isothermal process or an isentropic process is desired.
It is expected that the UK will need to be able to store about 200GWh of electricity by 2020, to help support the grid that becomes more dependant on intermittent renewable energy sources. Compressed air energy storage could be a valuable tool in allowing us to hit these ambitious targets.
Storing intermittently generated renewable energy with compressed air energy storage (CAES) seems to have become more than a feasible solution in recent months, as several large-scale projects have been announced in the United States, Israel and Canada.
In 2023, Alliant Energy announced plans to construct a 200-MWh compressed CO 2 facility based on the Sardinia facility in Columbia County, Wisconsin. It will be the first of its kind in the United States. Compressed air energy storage may be stored in undersea caves in Northern Ireland.
