Conclusions and outlook Given the high energy density, layout flexibility and absence of geographical constraints, liquid air energy storage (LAES) is a very promising thermo-mechanical storage solution, currently on the verge of industrial deployment.
Liquid air energy storage (LAES) is a promising technology recently proposed primarily for large-scale storage applications. It uses cryogen, or liquid air, as its energy vector.
Pressurised storage vessels are also beneficial for liquefaction performance but result in higher air saturation temperature and thus lower storage energy density . In this regard, Borri et al. claimed 21% lower specific energy consumption for the liquefier when storing air at 4 bar rather than ambient conditions.
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.
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 .
The results reveal a significant emphasis on “cryogenic energy storage,” with the highest frequency of 44 occurrences, indicating its central role in LAES research and development. This is closely followed by “liquefied gases” with 60 occurrences, highlighting the importance of understanding and optimizing the liquefaction process in LAES systems.
