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.

Compressed air energy storage may be stored in undersea caves in Northern Ireland. In order to achieve a near- thermodynamically-reversible process so that most of the energy is saved in the system and can be retrieved, and losses are kept negligible, a near-reversible isothermal process or an isentropic process is desired.
CAES systems are categorized into large-scale compressed air ES systems and small-scale CAES. Large-scale systems are capable of producing >100 MW, while the small-scale systems only produce 10 MW or less . Moreover, the reservoirs for large-scale CAES are underground geological formations such as salt formations, host rocks and porous media.
Compressed air is stored in underground caverns or up ground vessels , . The CAES technology has existed for more than four decades. However, only Germany (Huntorf CAES plant) and the United States (McIntosh CAES plant) operate full-scale CAES systems, which are conventional CAES systems that use fuel in operation , .
Hybrid Compressed Air Energy Storage (H-CAES) systems integrate renewable energy sources, such as wind or solar power, with traditional CAES technology.
