"most thermal energy storage requires high temperatures/ high pressures... multistage radial compressors and expanders with single stages rotating with different speeds allowing for intermediate air flowcooling and reheating... roundtrip efficiencies 52–60%, slightly lower compared to those envisioned for high temperature A-CAES. However, it can be shown in an economic analysis that its fast start-up characteristics and wide-ranging part load ability overcompensates the lower cycle efficiencies with regard to plant profitability"
