- Our advanced compressed air energy storage (A-CAES) system is a cost-effective, emission-free solution capable of delivering hundreds of megawatts and four to 24 hours of long-duration bulk energy storage.
- It consists of three main components: the plant, a closed-loop water reservoir, and subsurface infrastructure.
- The system utilizes off-peak or surplus energy to run a compressor, capturing heat generated during compression for later reuse.
- The compressed air is stored underground in purpose-built caverns, hydrostatically compensated and capable of delivering power on demand.
- With no fuel costs or hazardous chemicals, the system offers low environmental impact and reliable operation for up to 50 years.
- It provides various grid support services and enhances round-trip efficiency through its adiabatic process, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including renewable integration and industrial operations.
