Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems (MHPS) and Magnum Development have announced plans to build a 1 GW energy storage plant in Utah. The facility, known as the Advanced Clean Energy Storage project, will be a one-of-a-kind installation combining salt cavern-based compressed air storage with renewable hydrogen storage, flow batteries and solid-oxide fuel cells. The device uses excess grid power to compresses gas into an enclosed space. Salt caverns are located deep underground where temperatures can drop below

The device uses excess grid power to compresses gas into an enclosed space. The energy can then be released to generate power via a turbine.
