Is liquid air energy storage a large-scale electrical storage technology?

You have full access to this open access article Liquid air energy storage (LAES) has been regarded as a large-scale electrical storage technology. In this paper, we first investigate the performance of the current LAES (termed as a baseline LAES) over a far wider range of charging pressure (1 to 21 MPa).

What is the history of liquid air energy storage plant?

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 .

Does Rankine cycle work with LNG regasification?

Zhang et al. proposed a new LAES system integrated with LNG regasification, which employed two organic Rankine cycle (ORC) systems to reuse the compression heat for more power generation. Similar to work of Kim et al. , the discharging cycle of LAES occurred simultaneously with LNG regasification.

When was liquid air first used for energy storage?

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 . This led to subsequent research by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi .

Can a thermoelectric generator be used for cryogenic energy recovery?

Therefore, Zhang et al. proposed to use of a thermoelectric generator for cryogenic energy recovery in the discharging process of the decoupled LAES system to generate additional electricity (see Fig. 23).
