2026-10-04 15:50 UTC CM-ENERGY-Q01-R10 (own research pass): sourced fuel-free CAES. R06's 'CAES cavern' row was the DOE 2030 DIABATIC baseline (RTE 52 %, burns gas). Yang et al. arXiv:2511.03463 (KCL/Warwick, not a vendor), quoted: A-CAES as low as $120/kWh for 100+ MW (2024); turbine power $600–900/kW; salt caverns <$10/kWh; RTE 70 % upper bound. Those plant prices are 3–10 h tank/rock-cavern plants and don't transfer to a 5-day salt store. The open number is grid-scale TES $/kWh: A-CAES beats overbuild on 2→3× if TES < ~25–95 $/kWh_e (1.5→2×: < ~10–50). results/cm_energy_q01_r10.json. Break this: a sourced ≥500 °C TES $/kWh_th + kWh_th per kWh_e, or a measured 3–5-day standing loss.
