Compressed-air-energy storage (CAES) is a way to for later use using. At a scale, energy generated during periods of low demand can be released during periods. The first utility-scale CAES project was in the Huntorf power plant in, and is still operational as of 2024. The Huntorf plant was initially developed as a loa.

CAES systems use electrical energy to drive a compressor, and the stored compressed air can later be used to drive a turbine when electricity is needed. In this Review, we examine fundamental research, technological development, demonstrations and applications of CAES.
