Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is one of the many energy storage options that can store electric energy in the form of potential energy (compressed air) and can be deployed near central power plants or distribution centers. In response to demand, the stored energy can be discharged by expanding the stored air with a turboexpander generator.
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. What is the main disadvantage of compressed air-based energy storage?
Disadvantages of Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) One of the main disadvantages of CAES is its low energy efficiency. During compressing air, some energy is lost due to heat generated during compression, which cannot be fully recovered. This reduces the overall efficiency of the system.
Various energy storage systems are available, including pumped hydro, battery energy storage, flywheel energy storage, thermal energy storage, hydrogen energy storage, supercapacitor energy storage, compressed natural gas (CNG) storage, and mechanical energy storage. Let's compare CAES with some of these systems.
