Conclusion
Advanced compressed air energy storage (ACAES) could store energy on the timescale of 4–24 hours and help to manage medium-term variations in demand. However, as a relatively new technology, cost estimates vary widely. The Royal Society found that the availability of some CAES could reduce overall costs for the energy system under some circumstances if it can cycle quickly.
