A New Jersey company announced to develop over the next three years an underground compressed-air storage system for wind turbines and other power sources.
Wind Energy Storage Gets Boost
Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) pumps air underground in places like depleted natural gas wells or salt caverns. The pressured air is then released later to drive a turbine to generate electricity. The system is capable of storing energy for several hours or even days, allowing utilities to deliver electricity during peak hours, when the demand and price for electricity is at its highest.
