Abstract: A method of operating a hydrostatically compensated compressed air energy storage system comprising to inhibit champagne effect conditions, can include charging the system; changing the system into a storage mode; and before a dissolved gas concentration in a layer of compensation liquid exceeds a champagne effect saturation threshold, operating the system in a dilution cycle mode that can include i) discharging at least a portion of the compressed air from the accumulator thereby drawing additional compensation liquid having a lower dissolved gas concentration than the liquid in the layer of compensation liquid into the accumulator, and ii) re-charging the system by conveying additional compressed air into the layer of compressed air in the accumulator thereby displacing a corresponding amount of compensation liquid from the layer of compensation liquid into a compensation liquid flow path and returning the system to the storage mode.
