The air compressor/expander uses mechanical energy from the rotational shaft to compress air for storage, and extracts energy from the compressed air through expansion to drive the shaft. In the liquid piston air compressor/expander, the transmission is via a water column and the liquid piston pump/motor (F 2 ).

Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is considered a promising large-scale energy storage system. In CAES, energy is stored in the form of compressed air. Two large-scale commercial CAES plants in operation, one in Huntorf Germany [2], and the other is in McIntosh, Alabama, USA [3], use underground salt caverns for air storage.

In the power generation system, liquid air is pumped from the storage tank to the evaporator where it is heated from about 80 K to ambient temperature. This causes the liquid air to vaporize and build up 6.5 MPa of pressure. The high-pressure air is expanded through a 3-stage turbine with reheating to produce power.
