Abstract

To achieve the ambitious goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, China is vigorously developing renewable energy sources to replace the combustion of fossil fuels. Concurrently, in recent years, China has also been intensively developing new energy storage technologies to mitigate the fluctuations caused by the integration of renewable energy into the grid. Among these new energy storage technologies, the development of Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) technology stands out. Although relatively mature, CAES has not yet been widely applied, presenting significant research potential. This article will start by comparing CAES technology with traditional Pumped Hydro Energy Storage (PHES) to analyze the advantages of CAES. It will then systematically examine various types of CAES technologies, predicting the future development trends of this technology in China based on the status. The analysis concludes that CAES is the most promising new energy storage technology in China. In the future, it is expected to achieve performance comparable to pumped hydro storage, enabling large-scale applications across diverse scenarios.
