Abstract

The article discusses the importance of energy storage for future energy systems and the use of renewable energy sources, with a particular focus on compressed air energy storage (CAES) technology. Presents current work on the development of cost-effective energy storage, with a particular focus on energy system scale. It presents a literature review, which aims to develop a flow-based working machine for low-capacity compressed gas energy storage systems, using available components to minimize costs. The article highlights that the topic of energy storage cooperating with renewable energy sources is in line with the European Green Deal and the Paris Agreement, which opens the possibility to apply for funding and build industrial partnerships.
