CAES offers a powerful means to store excess electricity by using it to compress air, which can be released and expanded through a turbine to generate electricity when the
Adiabatic storage continues to store the heat energy produced by compression and returns it to the air as it is expanded to generate power. This is a subject of an ongoing study, with no

OverviewTypesCompressors and expandersStorageEnvironmental ImpactHistoryProjectsStorage thermodynamics
Compression of air creates heat; the air is warmer after compression. Expansion removes heat. If no extra heat is added, the air will be much colder after expansion. If the heat generated during compression can be stored and used during expansion, then the efficiency of the storage improves considerably. There are several ways in which a CAES system can deal with heat. Air storage can be adiabatic, diabatic, isothermal, or near-isothermal.
