CA (compressed air) is mechanical rather than chemical energy storage; its mass and volume energy densities are s mall compared to chemical liqu ids ( e.g., hydrocarb ons (C n H 2n+2 ), methan ol

Unlike conventional PSH projects, where the water sheet of both reservoirs are at atmospheric pressure, in UPSH projects the underground reservoir is at a different pressure from atmospheric conditions (Fig. 1), due to the complex labyrinth of drifts with geometrical restrictions and trapped air packets in different cavities.. When the water

Compressed-air energy storage (CAES) is a technology in which energy is stored in the form of compressed air, with the amount stored being dependent on the volume of the pressure storage vessel, the pressure at which the air is stored, and the temperature at which it is stored. A simplified, grid-connected CAES system is shown in

This distinction between use of the porous space and use of cavities provides the first distinction between suitable geological formations (Fig. 2):Porous media storage takes advantage of the voids existent in virtually any rock type and aims at filling those voids with energy carrying fluids injected in the target rock – the reservoir –
