NOTES:<br />

1. Effective efficiency is based on the analogy to a battery <strong>or</strong> pumped hydro plant<br />

2. Assuming a maximum <strong>of</strong> 360 days <strong>of</strong> operation and 5 days <strong>of</strong> downtime <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong> maintenance per year.<br />

F<strong>or</strong> the CAES plants designed <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong> the six T&D applications described in Section 3 (and Table<br />

7), Table 8 provides a summary <strong>of</strong> the technology evaluation. The environmental impacts <strong>of</strong><br />

CAES plants tend to be low, both aboveground and underground. The advantages generally<br />

outweigh the limitations. The cost and financial benefits are considered in the next section.<br />

4. Costs and Benefits<br />

The benefits <strong>of</strong> transmission and distribution (T&D) applications <strong>of</strong> CAES plants depend on a<br />

number <strong>of</strong> fact<strong>or</strong>s, with one <strong>of</strong> the most critical being cost.<br />

Capital Cost<br />

The capital cost <strong>of</strong> a CAES plant is a function <strong>of</strong> the st<strong>or</strong>age medium, the plant capacity (power),<br />

and the energy st<strong>or</strong>ed in the st<strong>or</strong>age medium. Table 9 below gives approximate values <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong> the<br />

capital cost <strong>com</strong>ponents <strong>of</strong> CAES plants as a function <strong>of</strong> some <strong>of</strong> the plant variables. F<strong>or</strong><br />

example, the typical plant cost <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong> a 200-MW e CAES system <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong> salt geology is about $360/kW e<br />

with a 10-hour discharge st<strong>or</strong>age reservoir.<br />
