Technical FAQs 3

What is compressed air energy storage (CAES)?

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. The increasing need for large-scale ES has led to the rising interest and development of CAES projects.

How many mw can a compressed air system produce?

CAES systems are categorized into large-scale compressed air ES systems and small-scale CAES. Large-scale systems are capable of producing >100 MW, while the small-scale systems only produce 10 MW or less . Moreover, the reservoirs for large-scale CAES are underground geological formations such as salt formations, host rocks and porous media.

What is an example of a widespread storage technology deployment?

One example they mention is precisely CAES. The IEA Technology Roadmap states that the key to achieving widespread storage technology deployment is enabling compensation for multiple services delivered across the energy system.
