Energy storage has two main factors—how fast it can be charged and discharged (the spigot) and how much total energy it can hold (the bathtub). Batteries have a powerful spigot, but that comes at the cost of a small tub. The compressed air, once heated, drives a piston that runs a generator to produce electricity.
