Compressed Air Energy Storage Quiz

What is one of the main challenges with current renewable energy sources?

• They are too expensive to produce.

• They cannot be used in urban areas.

• They are not reliable in all weather conditions.

• They require rare materials to function.

How does CAES store energy?

• By converting electrical energy into high-pressure air.

• By converting wind energy into thermal energy.

• By storing gases in liquid form.

• By using solar panels to generate electricity.

What is a major limitation of conventional CAES systems?

• They require a large amount of water.

• They are only effective in coastal regions.

• They are more expensive than lithium-ion batteries.

• They cannot store thermal energy generated during compression.

What is a key feature of Hydrostor's Advanced CAES technology?
