2.1. How it all began The fundamental idea to store electrical energy by means of compressed air dates back to the early 1940s [2] then the patent application "Means for Storing Fluids for Power Generation" was submitted by F.W. Gay to the US Patent Office [3]..
Despite their many advantages, industrial compressed air systems are characterized by high energy consumption and very low energy efficiency. This is primarily due to the oversizing of pneumatic actuators, leading to excessive compressed air consumption in the utilization stage.
Compressed air is an on-site generated utility. Very often the cost of generation is not known; however, some companies use a value of 15-30 cents per 1000 cubic feet of air. Compressed air is one of the most expensive sources of energy in a plant. The overall efficiency of a typical compressed air system can be as low as 10-15%.
Among all energy storage systems, the compressed air energy storage (CAES) as mechanical energy storage has shown its unique eligibility in terms of clean storage medium, scalability, high lifetime, long discharge time, low self-discharge, high durability, and relatively low capital cost per unit of stored energy.
