Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is a technology employed for decades to store electrical energy, mainly on large-scale systems, whose advances have been based on improvements in thermal mana.
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.

Most compressed air energy storage systems addressed in literature are large-scale systems of above 100 MW which most of the time use depleted mines as the cavity to store the high pressure fluid. Three main concepts are researched; diabatic, adiabatic and isothermal.
There are several compression and expansion stages: from the charging, to the discharging phases of the storage system. Research has shown that isentropic efficiency for compressors as well as expanders are key determinants of the overall characteristics and efficiency of compressed air energy storage systems .

The modeled compressed air storage systems use both electrical energy (to compress air and possibly to generate hydrogen) and heating energy provided by natural gas (only conventional CAES). We use three metrics to compare their energy use: heat rate, work ratio, and roundtrip exergy efficiency (storage efficiency).
For isothermal compression, the energy required is: W = P₁ × V₁ × ln (P₂ / P₁) ln (P₂ / P₁): Natural logarithm of the pressure ratio. P₁: Absolute inlet pressure. If gauge pressure is given, convert it by adding atmospheric pressure (typically 101.3 kPa or 14.7 psi). P₂: Absolute discharge pressure. V₁: Inlet volume of the gas.
Schematic of a generic conventional compressed air energy storage (CAES) system. The prospects for the conventional CAES technology are poor in low-carbon grids [2,6–8]. Fossil fuel (typically natural gas) combustion is needed to provide heat to prevent freezing of the moisture present in the expanding air .
The thermal energy storage units (TS1 and TS2) are modeled isobaric and adiabatic. A.2.1. Charge phase of A-CAES Equations (A6) and (A10) remain applicable to determine the temperature and mass of compressed air entering the cavern over the charging period.
Increasing ML and reducing rotation speed can mitigate temperature rise during compression and increase isothermal compression efficiency and isothermality. When ML is varied from 5 to 10, the air temperature maintained around 300 K. The isothermal compression and isothermality can exceed 90 % when ML is greater than 3.
