Use an unloader valve...the compressor turns constantly a lever holds the intake valve open until the pre-determined pressure in the tank drops the intake valve is allowed to close and the compressor pumps air until the pressure is reached.
Air is not the best way to store energy...however if you used air tools it would be nice to have a dual system run by a wind driven compressor with a large flywheel the flywheel turns at a constant speed ...if the wind isn't providing the energy the battery powered DC motor takes over...when there is enough wind and you don't need any air for the moment the flywheel would charge the battery.
