Compressed Air Energy Storage gets a new design

Instead of using excess energy to store compressed air in caves where it can be released as needed to generate electricity, a new design for CAES, SustainX, stores compressed air in pipes SustainX takes a different tack: it uses compressed…

Storing wind power energy in compressed air tanks.

Storing excess wind power as compressed air in underground caverns to drive turbines later when needed is cost-effective and useful. But that means siting wind farms where the caverns are. SustainX thinks they have an even more cost effective approach.…
