Findings from Storage Innovations 2030: Compressed
About Storage Innovations 2030 This technology strategy assessment on compressed air energy storage (CAES), released as part of the Long-Duration Storage Shot,
Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is one of the many energy storage options that can store electric energy in the form of potential energy (compressed air) and can be deployed near central power plants or distribution centers. In response to demand, the stored energy can be discharged by expanding the stored air with a turboexpander generator.
New compressed air energy storage concept improves the profitability of existing simple cycle, combined cycle, wind energy, and landfill gas power plants. In: Proceedings of ASME Turbo Expo 2004: Power for Land, Sea, and Air; 2004 Jun 14–17; Vienna, Austria. ASME; 2004. p. 103–10. F. He, Y. Xu, X. Zhang, C. Liu, H. Chen
Energy storage (ES) plays a key role in the energy transition to low-carbon economies due to the rising use of intermittent renewable energy in electrical grids. Among the different ES technologies, compressed air energy storage (CAES) can store tens to hundreds of MW of power capacity for long-term applications and utility-scale.
For example, the state of Kansas has facilitated these processes with their Compressed Air Energy Storage Act, effective since 2009. A study that reports on promising locations, permitting processes and challenges, and mitigating solutions would help developers navigate these issues during the planning phase.
The “Energy Storage Grand Challenge” prepared by the United States Department of Energy (DOE) reports that among all energy storage technologies, compressed air energy storage (CAES) offers the lowest total installed cost for large-scale application (over 100 MW and 4 h).
The total installed energy storage reached 209.4 GW worldwide in 2022, an increase of 9.0% over the previous year . CAES, another large-scale energy storage technology with pumped-hydro storage, demonstrates promise for research, development, and application. However, there are concerns about technical maturity, economy, policy, and so forth.
