Compressed Air Energy Storage
When the plant discharges, it uses the compressed air to operate the combustion turbine generator. Natural gas is burned during plant discharge, in the same fashion as a conventional
How does utility-scale energy storage compare to traditional power
Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) has higher emissions among storage types, mainly due to natural gas combustion during operation (~288 kg CO2e/MWh fuel related).
Compressed-air energy storage
On the positive side, CAES systems integrated with renewable energy sources contribute to a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by enabling the storage and dispatch of
