IRENA-IEA-ETSAP Technology Brief 5: Electricity Storage

Compressed air energy storage (CAES) systems store energy by compress-ing air. They require large, low-cost natural buf ers (e.g. caverns) to store compressed air, which is then used in gas-fi red turbines to generate electricity on demand. Flywheels store electricity as mechanical energy, which is then converted back to electricity. .
