    Abstract: Systems and methods for improving the efficacy of a wind turbine farm by providing a mechanical compressed air energy storage solution to provide power to the grid when electricity demand requires it. Specifically, a system for storing compressed air energy recovered from a wind turbine driven compressor. The system can include a primary spherical pressure vessel configured for fluid communication with a compressed air source and a secondary spherical pressure vessel in fluid communication with the primary spherical pressure vessel. Air stored in the pressure vessels can then be discharged to a combustion power generator to generate supplemental electrical energy or through a turbo expander to directly generate electricity.
