The potential energy of compressed air represents a multi-application source of power. Historically employed to drive certain manufacturing or transportation systems, it became a source of vehicle propulsion in the late 19th century. During the second half of the 20th century, significant efforts were directed towards harnessing

Compressed-air energy storage (CAES) is a way to store energy for later use using compressed air. At a utility scale, energy generated during periods of low demand can be released during peak load periods. The first utility-scale CAES project was in the Huntorf power plant in Elsfleth, Germany, and is still operational . The Huntorf plant was initially developed as a load balancer for fossil-fuel-generated electricity
According to the available market price, the economic analysis showed a cost reduction of 1.27 €/kWh resulted from increasing the A-CAES''s storage pressure from 40 bar to 200 bar. In this study, the economics of integrating a whole hybrid system at the building scale were not considered.
