Overall, the Compressed Air Storage Systems (CAES) provides an effective way of producing energy for the electrical grid. Utilising other renewable sources of energy like wind and/or solar to provide energy to operate the CAES systems seem to be the only cost effective and efficient ways to run them.
Assuming that compressed air is stored at a similar temperature to the surroundings (as is the case at Huntorf and at McIntosh), the additional losses introduced by underwater storage are those associated with leakage and pressure drop. With a well-manufactured vessel, leakage losses should be small.
Concluding remarks Underwater compressed air energy storage is a developing storage technology which is a natural extension of compressed air energy storage for coastal environments. It is very similar to underground CAES in all aspects but the energy store.
The offshore environment provides several ideal conditions for storage of compressed air. By storing pressurized air in an underwater vessel, the pressure in the air can be reacted by the surrounding water, greatly reducing loading at the air/water barrier.
The pressure of compressed air cycles over relatively large pressure ranges in the charging and discharging processes. An important advantage of subseabed storage is a higher storage pressure could be achieved due to the additional hydrostatic pressure of deep water.
The long-term disturbance to the seabed sediments may cause a permanent imbalance in the local ecology of the seabed. A reasonable and effective environmental assessment system of underwater gas storage systems needs to be developed.
