Citywide compressed air energy systems for delivering mechanical power directly via compressed air have been built since 1870. Cities such as Paris, France; Birmingham, England; Dresden, Rixdorf, and Offenbach, Germany; and Buenos Aires, Argentina, installed such systems. Victor Popp constructed the first systems to power clocks by sending a pulse of air every minute to change their pointer arms. They quickly evolved to deliver power to homes and industries. As of

As renewable electricity generation capacity increases, energy storage will be required at larger scales. Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) at large scales, with effective management of heat, is recognised to have potential to provide affordable grid-scale energy storage.
Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) at large scales, with effective management of heat, is recognised to have potential to provide affordable grid-scale energy storage. Where suitable geologies are unavailable, compressed air could be stored in pressurised steel tanks above ground, but this would incur significant storage costs.
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.
Offshore compressed air energy storage systems combine a thermodynamic cycle (diabatic (a), adiabatic (b), or isothermal (c)) with subsurface storage (solution mined salt cavern (e), saline aquifer (f), or abandoned oil or gas well (g)). Note the vertical depth of the subsurface storage options are not to scale.
