CAES is an energy-storage method that uses electric energy to compress air during the off-peak load of the power grid and release compressed air from high-pressure gas storage for power generation during the peak load of the power grid .
The efficiency of the system consists of the conversion efficiency of pressure potential energy within the cylinders into kinetic energy within the discharged air, and also the mechanical efficiency of the air turbines handling the ultimate energy conversion into electricity.
In particular focus has been on avoiding the loss of energy by cooling during compression. Instead the idea is to store the internal energy from the compression as well and use it regeneratively for heating air to the turbine. Grazzini [14] has studied such a configuration and finds an efficiency of 72%.
