referenceR. Haug published an internal report for the Iowa Association of Municipal Utilities (IAMU) in 2003 regarding the Iowa Energy Project, which focused on wind and compressed air energy storage (CAES) development.

referenceSuccar and Williams (2008) authored a report titled 'Compressed air energy storage: theory, resources, and applications for wind power' for the Energy Systems Analysis Group at the Princeton Environmental Institute, Princeton University.

referenceMason, Hansen, Fthenakis, and Zweibel (in press) proposed coupling photovoltaic (PV) and compressed-air energy storage (CAES) power plants to transform intermittent PV electricity into a dispatchable electricity source.

measurementBased on expected improvements in PV, CSP, and CAES technologies, the authors of the 2008 study 'The technical, geographical, and economic feasibility for solar energy to supply the energy needs of the US' project that solar energy has the potential to supply 69% of total US electricity needs and 35% of total US energy needs (electricity and fuel) by 2050.

claimThe authors of the 2008 study 'The technical, geographical, and economic feasibility for solar energy to supply the energy needs of the US' propose solving the intermittency problem of solar energy by integrating photovoltaics (PV) with compressed air energy storage (CAES) and extending thermal storage capability in concentrated solar power (CSP).

referenceSwensen and Potashnik (1994) evaluated the benefits and identified potential sites for a compressed air energy storage (CAES) plant in New York State in a report prepared for the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI).

procedureThe authors of the 2008 study 'The technical, geographical, and economic feasibility for solar energy to supply the energy needs of the US' simulated CAES storage requirements using hourly load data for the entire US and 45-year solar irradiation data from the southwest region of the US under worst weather conditions.
