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. The first utility-scale CAES project was in the Huntorf power plant in Elsfleth, Germany, and is still operational as of 2024 . The Huntorf plant was initially developed as a loa
This section reviews the broad areas that can support key technology areas, such as compressed-air storage volume, thermal energy storage and management strategies, and integration of the process
