Compressed air energy storage (CAES) systems store energy by compressing air and releasing it to power turbines and generate electricity when demand is high. Researchers are analyzing using inert gases like nitrogen instead of air in CAES systems to improve efficiency and reduce environmental effects. The goal is to determine the optimal gas media and system configuration to maximize efficiency of compressed air energy storage.
