Compressed air energy storage is a large-scale energy storage technology that will assist in the implementation of renewable energy in future electrical networks, with excellent storage duration, capacity and power. The reliance of CAES on underground formations for storage is a major limitation to the rate of adoption of the technology.
The reverse operation of both components to each other determines their design when integrated on a compressed air energy storage system. The screw and scroll are two examples of expanders, classified under reciprocating and rotary types.

Provides significantly high energy storage at low costs. Compressed air storage systems tend to have quick start up times. They have ramp rate of 30% maximum load per minute. The nominal heat rate of CAES at maximum load is three (3) times lower than combustion plant with the same expander.
Compressed air energy storage systems may be efficient in storing unused energy, but large-scale applications have greater heat losses because the compression of air creates heat, meaning expansion is used to ensure the heat is removed [, ]. Expansion entails a change in the shape of the material due to a change in temperature.
With a rough estimate of 80% of U.S territory being geologically suitable for CAES, it has the potential to be a leading system within the storing of compressed air energy . One of the main disadvantages associated with this type of storage system is the need for the heating process to cause expansion.
