CAES operates by using surplus electricity to compress air, which is stored in underground caverns, salt caverns, or tanks. The process is often integrated with natural gas to improve efficiency, especially during the release phase. . This technology strategy assessment on compressed air energy storage (CAES), released as part of the Long-Duration Storage Shot, contains the findings from the Storage Innovations (SI) 2030 strategic initiative. The objective of SI 2030 is to develop specific and quantifiable research, development. . Compressed-air-energy storage (CAES) is a way to store energy for later use using compressed air. At a utility scale, energy generated during periods of low demand can be released during peak load periods. In addition, the paper provides a comprehensive reference for planning and integrating different types of CAES into energy systems.
