The compressed air is stored in large underground salt caverns. The Huntorf plant uses a 310,000m 3 cavern at a depth of 600m with a pressure tolerance between 50 - 70 bar, converted from a solution mined salt dome. It runs on a daily charging cycle of 8 hours providing a peak output of 290MW for 2 hours. The McIntosh plant has a 538,000m 3
As promising as compressed air appears as a storage medium, it does have some drawbacks. When air is compressed, it heats up. When it expands, it cools. Cold air isn''t as effective at producing power when it is run through a turbine, so before the air can be used, it needs to be heated, frequently using natural gas, which produces CO
