[pdf] Major projects now deploy clusters of 20+ containers creating storage farms with 100+MWh capacity at costs below $280/kWh. Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar storage container performance while reducing costs.
[pdf] Compression of air creates heat; the air is warmer after compression. Expansion removes heat. If no extra heat is added, the air will be much colder after expansion. If the heat generated during compression can be stored and used during expansion, then the efficiency of the storage improves considerably. There are several ways in which a CAES system can deal with heat. Air storage can be , diabatic, , or near-isothermal.
