Compressed Air Energy Storage

Example 4.1. For a 110-MW CAES plant, the air is stored in an underground cavern. It obeys the adiabatic process. A liquid air energy storage system uses off-peak power to compress, cool and liquefy air. This air must then be stored in special cryogenic containers. Heat from compression may be captured and stored too if it is economic to do so.
