The operation of a conventional compressed air energy storage system is described as follows: excess electricity during off-peak hours is used to drive a 2-stage compressor with intercooling. After the compression, the compressed air (40–70 bar) is led to an after-cooler before it gets stored in an underground storage reservoir.
This chapter focuses on compressed air energy storage technology, which means the utilization of renewable surplus electricity to drive some compressors and thereby produce high-pressure air which can later be used for power generation. The chapter goes through the definitions and various designs of this technology.
