ABSTRACT
As titled the paper deals with some geomechanical
aspects of CAES in salt caverns. One main aim of
the paper is to analyse weather it is technical and
economical feasible to store and restore wind power
in salt caverns. Because the availability of wind is
time dependent whereas the need of electric power is
continuous, an intermediate storage of wind power is
required. The intermediate storage of wind power
basically could be done by compressing air in times
with more wind power than needed for the grid and
decompressing air in times with less wind power
than needed for the grid. The compressed air itself
potentially could be stored in salt caverns.
