Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is a method of storing large quantities of energy by converting electricity into high-pressure air. This technology functions like a utility-scale battery, but instead of using chemical reactions, it relies on the physical properties of.

A typical 100 MW CAES facility requires $120–$200 million in capital expenditure. Here's how the costs distribute: “The levelized cost of storage (LCOS) for CAES ranges between $100–$150/MWh, outperforming many lithium-ion alternatives in large-scale applications. ”.

What are the disadvantages of compressed air storage? Compressed air storage (CAS) has several disadvantages. Its main drawbacks are its long response time, low depth of discharge, and low roundtrip efficiency (RTE).
