Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is one of the many energy storage options that can store electric energy in the form of potential energy (compressed air) and can be deployed near central power plants or distribution centers. In response to demand, the stored energy can be discharged by expanding the stored air with a turboexpander generator.
New compressed air energy storage concept improves the profitability of existing simple cycle, combined cycle, wind energy, and landfill gas power plants.

Tina Casey recently wrote that underground compressed air energy storage is getting attention these days because it may be able to generate electricity for as long as eight hours whereas most grid-scale batteries have exhausted their power after three to four hours.
Solar energy is introduced to heat the high-pressure air from the air storage cavern to improve the turbine inlet air temperature. An ORC was introduced to recover the heat carried by the air-turbine exhaust.
