Researchers from Canada have analyzed the performances of an aboveground compressed air energy storage system (CAES) with both an experimental setup and a numerical ...

In a significant advancement for renewable energy storage, researchers at the State Grid Hubei Electric Power Testing Research Institute (China), in collaboration with the China Energy Digital ...

For years, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has championed the potential of advanced compressed air energy storage (A-CAES), and now the feds are putting a whole bunch of money where their mouth is ...

Broken Hill's hard-rock geology could hold part of the solution to Australia's energy storage problem as the country shifts to renewables. A 200-megawatt, $1 billion facility built by Canadian company ...

Hydrostor’s GEM A-CAES has received a conditional loan guarantee of up to $1.76 billion from the US Department of Energy (DOE) to build the Willow Rock Energy Storage Center, a cutting-edge compressed ...

Moving from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources like wind and solar will require better ways to store energy for use when the sun is not shining or the wind is not blowing. A new study by ...

Large-scale energy storage enables the storage of vast amounts of energy produced at one time and its release at another. This technology is critical for balancing supply and demand in renewable ...

Utility scale energy storage doesn’t get the type of attention as, say, solar or electric cars — particularly a technology as dry and far-removed from consumers as compressed air energy storage. But ...

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) estimates that the U.S. will need 700 to 900 GW of additional capacity to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. As well as natural gas and nuclear, a lot of that will ...

The limitations of lithium-ion batteries are prompting a search for longer-duration solutions. Compressed air energy storage (CAES) and other emerging technologies are gaining traction as safer, ...

We're currently a lot better at producing clean energy than storing it to use later. That poses a challenge in regions that have long stretches with low wind and sunlight, stressing power grids fed by ...

The federal government has tentatively agreed to a $1.76 billion loan guarantee to help a Canadian-based company build a 500-megawatt compressed-air energy storage facility in Rosamond. This month's ...
