Compressed air energy storage or gravity water storage costs 10x less than any other based on 100 year vs 10 year lifetime of the system.

Calculations

  • Work to compress, thus energy stored in isothermal conditions - is W = P1V1 * ln(P2/P1) [1]
  • Adiabatic compression - [W = P1V1 - P2V2 / (1 - γ)] [2]
  • Let's take industrial gas cylinders with K, T, 3K, 6K standards - 300 cu ft for T [3]. 2200-2600 psi is the standard, but also 3000 PSI and 6000 PSI.
  • T type - 300 cf

Other

  • 150 PSI, 660 gal receiver tank - $3500 [4]
