Microgrids are small-scale energy systems with distributed energy resources, such as generators and storage systems, and controllable loads forming an electrical entity within defined electrical limits. These systems can be deployed in either low voltage or high voltage and can operate independently of the main grid if necessary .
Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is a promising energy storage technology due to its cleanness, high efficiency, low cost, and long service life.

Demonstrates the future perspective of implementing renewable energy sources, electrical energy storage systems, and microgrid systems regarding high storage capability, smart-grid atmosphere, and techno-economic deployment.
Microgrids are a means of deploying a decentralized and decarbonized grid. One of their key features is the extensive presence of renewable-based generation, which is intermittent by nature. Because of this kind of variability, the application of appropriate energy storage systems is mandatory.
However, there are still several issues such as microgrid stability, power and energy management, reliability and power quality that make microgrids implementation challenging. Nevertheless, the energy storage system is proposed as a promising solution to overcome the aforementioned challenges.
Compressed-air-energy storage (CAES) is a way to store energy for later use using compressed air. At a utility scale, energy generated during periods of low demand can be released during peak load periods. The first utility-scale CAES project was in the Huntorf power plant in Elsfleth, Germany, and is still operational as of 2024.
