Compressed-air energy storage (CAES) is a modular, fast-responding, environmentally attractive technology that can help utilities make the best use of generation and transmission resources. Alabama Electric Cooperative started up the first US CAES plant in May 1991, and several other utilities are now investigating the potential for CAES siting in their service areas. EPRI is supporting these efforts on a cost-sharing basis. The resulting products include a methodology for identifying, screening, and ranking potential sites and a methodology for cost-effectively matching aboveground turbomachinery to subsurface storage conditions.
