Date :Définition
The storage of energy in the form of compressed air which is used for driving turbogenerators and producing electricity. The use of compressed air in this way has been suggested as a method of storing energy derived from non-continuous sources such as tidal and wind. The energy could be released later at low tide, for instance, or in periods when the wind speed is inadequate, so that it would be possible to have a continuous energy flow even though the source is fluctuating. It is suggested that underground caverns, such as those created by salt mining which often are near to proposed tidal sites, would be suitable storage chambers.
