TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed investigation of the current developments on compressed air storage systems (CAES) is presented, which explores both the operational mode of the system, and the health and safety issues regarding the storage systems for energy.
Abstract: Energy storage systems are a fundamental part of any efficient energy scheme. Because of this, different storage techniques may be adopted, depending on both the type of source and the characteristics of the source. In this investigation, present contribution highlights current developments on compressed air storage systems (CAES). The investigation explores both the operational mode of the system, and the health & safety issues regarding the storage systems for energy. The investigation also includes a detailed conclusion, which summarises the vast significance of novel energy storage technology. The investigation thoroughly evaluates the various types of compressed air energy storage systems, along with the advantages and disadvantages of each type. Different expanders ideal for various different compressed air energy storage systems are also analysed. Design of salt caverns and other underground and above compressed air storage systems were also discussed in terms of advantages and disadvantages.

TL;DR: Damascene copper electroplating for on-chip interconnections, a process that was conceived and developed in the early 1990s, makes it possible to fill submicron trenches and vias with copper without creating a void or a seam and has thus proven superior to other technologies of copper deposition as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Damascene copper electroplating for on-chip interconnections, a process that we conceived and developed in the early 1990s, makes it possible to fill submicron trenches and vias with copper without creating a void or a seam and has thus proven superior to other technologies of copper deposition. We discuss here the relationship of additives in the plating bath to superfilling, the phenomenon that results in superconformal coverage, and we present a numerical model which accounts for the experimentally observed profile evolution of the plated metal.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a widespread and comprehensive description of energy storage systems with detailed classification, features, advantages, environmental impacts, and implementation possibilities with application variations with the aim of providing a more complete overview of the energy storage system.
Abstract: The increasing electricity generation from renewable resources has side effects on power grid systems, because of daily and seasonally intermittent nature of these sources. Additionally, there are fluctuations in the electricity demand during the day, so energy storage system (ESS) can play a vital role to compensate these troubles and seems to be a crucial part of smart grids in the future. This study comparatively presents a widespread and comprehensive description of energy storage systems with detailed classification, features, advantages, environmental impacts, and implementation possibilities with application variations.
