The Role of Heat in CAES. When air is compressed, it heats up—a process called adiabatic compression a typical CAES system, some of this heat is lost, and external energy (usually natural gas) is used to reheat the air during the expansion phase to prevent the air from freezing as it expands.

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT Sobolik et al., 2019;Tarkowski, 2019). In particular, three commercial compressed-air energy storage (CAES) facilities currently exist in Germany, the USA, and Canada, each exploiting salt caverns (Kim et al., 2023).
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.
However, care is required to inject compressed air into depleted oil and gas reservoirs due to the potential for a combustible environment at the surface or in the subsurface (Kim et al., 2023). CAES also offers extended energy storage durations, enabling the storage of electricity for prolonged periods.
Starting in 1896, Paris used compressed air to power homes and industry. Beginning in 1978 with the first utility-scale diabatic CAES project in Huntorf, Germany, CAES has been the subject of ongoing exploration and development for grid applications. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has a history of supporting CAES development.
