Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is a promising energy storage technology due to its cleanness, high efficiency, low cost, and long service life. This paper surveys state-of-the-art technologies of CAES, and makes endeavors to demonstrate the fundamental principles, classifications and operation modes of CAES.
How efficient is compressed air energy storage? CAES efficiency depends on various factors, such as the size of the system, location, and method of compression. Typically, the efficiency of a CAES system is around 60-70%, which means that 30-40% of the energy is lost during the compression and generation process.
