In the Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) systems, the energy is stored in form of pressure energy, by means of a compression of a gas (usually air) into a reservoir. When energy is required, the gas is expanded in a turbine and the energy stored in the gas is converted in mechanical energy available at the turbine shaft.
