Comparing diabatic and adiabatic compressed air energy storage (CAES) systems

Compressed air energy storage systems use compressed air as a medium for storing energy during off-peak times and generating energy during peak hours. The CAES system utilizes electricity during off-peak times to drive the air compressor for air compression. Also, the electricity is used to store the compressed air in underground caverns. CAES systems are …
