Concluding remarks Liquid air energy storage (LAES) is becoming an attractive thermo-mechanical storage solution for decarbonization, with the advantages of no geological constraints, long lifetime (30–40 years), high energy density (120–200 kWh/m 3), environment-friendly and flexible layout.
Compared to other similar large-scale technologies such as compressed air energy storage or pumped hydroelectric energy storage, the use of liquid air as a storage medium allows a high energy density to be reached and overcomes the problem related to geological constraints.
4.1. Standalone liquid air energy storage In the standalone LAES system, the input is only the excess electricity, whereas the output can be the supplied electricity along with the heating or cooling output.
Hybrid LAES has compelling thermoeconomic benefits with extra cold/heat contribution. Liquid air energy storage (LAES) can offer a scalable solution for power management, with significant potential for decarbonizing electricity systems through integration with renewables.
Their study examined a novel standalone LAES (using a packed-bed TES) that recovers cold energy from liquid air evaporation and stored compression energy in a diathermic hot thermal storage. The study found that RTE between 50–60% was achievable. 4.3. Integration of LAES
2.1. History 2.1.1. History of liquid air energy storage plant The use of liquid air or nitrogen as an energy storage medium can be dated back to the nineteen century, but the use of such storage method for peak-shaving of power grid was first proposed by University of Newcastle upon Tyne in 1977 .
