    Compressed air energy storage works by using surplus electricity to power compressors that compress air and store it underground in caverns or underground reservoirs. The compressed air is later released to power turbines and generate electricity when demand is high. Germany's Huntorf compressed air energy storage plant, built in 1978, was the first large-scale commercial application of the technology and can provide electricity for up to 12 hours.
