The performance of compressed air energy storage systems is centred round the efficiency of the compressors and expanders. It is also important to determine the losses in the system as energy transfer occurs on these components. There are several compression and expansion stages: from the charging, to the discharging phases of the storage system.
Compressed air energy storage has a significant impact on the energy sector by providing large-scale, long-duration energy storage solutions. CAES systems can store excess energy during periods of low demand and release it during peak demand, helping to balance supply and demand on the grid.

Compression of air creates heat; the air is warmer after compression. Expansion removes heat. If no extra heat is added, the air will be much colder after expansion. If the heat generated during compression can be stored and used during expansion, then the efficiency of the storage improves considerably. There are several ways in which a CAES system can deal with heat. Air storage can be adiabatic, diabatic, isothermal, or near-isothermal.
Compressed air energy storage (CAES), amongst the various energy storage technologies which have been proposed, can play a significant role in the difficult task of storing electrical energy affordably at large scales and over long time periods (relative, say, to most battery technologies).
