1. A computer-implemented method for energy management comprising:
pumping a first liquid into a high-pressure vessel, wherein the pumping is controlled to accomplish pressurizing a gas contained in the high-pressure vessel;
spraying a second liquid into the high-pressure vessel, wherein the spraying a second liquid is used to cool the gas that is pressurized, wherein the spraying uses two sprays on a top side and a bottom side of the high-pressure vessel;
transferring the pressurized gas from the high-pressure vessel to a storage reservoir, wherein the storage reservoir is isolatable from the high-pressure vessel; and
delivering the pressurized gas from the storage reservoir to an energy recovery unit to extract work from the pressurized gas, wherein storage and recovery of energy is performed via a software-defined water piston heat engine (WPHE).
