Technical performance of the hybrid compressed air energy storage systems The summarized findings of the survey show that the typical CAES systems are technically feasible in large-scale applications due to their high energy capacity, high power rating, long lifetime, competitiveness, and affordability.
The storage system is comprised of individual components that are already in regular production by the project partners. The HyFlow project partners have also developed advanced and more adaptable energy management systems for the new hybrid energy storage system.
Traditional CAES systems face two big challenges: wasted heat and inconsistent power output. Willow Rock’s advanced compressed air energy storage system (A-CAES) technology solves these problems: Thermal energy capture: Conventional CAES loses around 50% of energy during the air compression process.

The unpredictable nature of renewable energy creates uncertainty and imbalances in energy systems. Incorporating energy storage systems into energy and power applications is a promising approach to provide economic, technical, and environmental benefits to these energy systems.
Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is one of the many energy storage options that can store electric energy in the form of potential energy (compressed air) and can be deployed near central power plants or distribution centers. In response to demand, the stored energy can be discharged by expanding the stored air with a turboexpander generator.
