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
The first system is compressed air energy storage (CAES), while the second system is hydrogen energy storage (HES). Simulation has been done in TRNSYS and EES software. Energy and exergy analyses have been done for both systems.

Other storage technologies include compressed air and gravity storage, but they play a comparatively small role in current power systems. Additionally, hydrogen – which is detailed separately – is an emerging technology that has potential for the seasonal storage of renewable energy.
A promising method of energy storage is the combination of hydrogen and compressed-air energy storage (CAES) systems. CAES systems are divided into
The hydrogen mass flow varied from 0 to nominal values, 0.4 and 0.6 kg/s for high and low-pressure combustion chambers, accordingly. It is shown that fuel burning helps to increase high-pressure turbine power from 20.4 to 31.8 MW and low-pressure turbine power from 45.4 to 75.2 MW.

How Hydrogen Storage Works. Hydrogen can be stored physically as either a gas or a liquid. Storage of hydrogen as a gas typically requires high-pressure tanks (350–700 bar [5,000–10,000 psi] tank pressure). Storage of hydrogen as a liquid requires cryogenic temperatures because the boiling point of hydrogen at one atmosphere pressure is −
In supporting power network operation, compressed air energy storage works by compressing air to high pressure using compressors during the periods of low electric energy demand and then the stored compressed
2 Overview of compressed air energy storage. Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is the use of compressed air to store energy for use at a later time when required [41–45]. Excess energy generated from renewable energy sources when demand is low can be stored with the application of this technology.

The basic feature of the energy storage system in question is combination of storing the
The operation of a conventional compressed air energy storage system is described as follows: excess electricity during off-peak hours is used to drive a 2-stage compressor with intercooling. After the compression, the compressed air (40–70 bar) is led to an after-cooler before it gets stored in an underground storage reservoir.
However, hydrogen storage (HS) and compressed air energy storage (CAES) have installation costs, longer life, larger capacity, and more favorable environmental conditions than batteries [7, 8]. Therefore, their installation in EH is more economical than batteries, but modeling of their capability in EHs has been mentioned in

An energy storage system (ESS) for electricity generation uses electricity (or some other energy source, such as solar-thermal energy) to charge an energy storage system or device, which is discharged to supply (generate) electricity when needed at desired levels and quality. ESSs provide a variety of services to support electric power grids.
Compressed air energy storage is one of the ways to store the energy produced at one time, to use it at another time using compressed air. At the utility scale, the energy produced during periods of low energy demand (off-peak periods) can be released to meet high demand (peak load).
