This study evaluates the integration of Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) with solar photovoltaic (PV) generation to address challenges of intermittency and load mismatch in electric utilities. They found that a co-optimized system could lower total capital costs by 15–20% compared to traditional sequential sizing approaches. The analysis demonstrates that CAES can effectively reduce electricity costs during peak demand. .
