Analysis of Coupled Liquid Air Energy Storage and
This study presents a three-tiered cold energy utilization system that integrates liquid air energy storage (LAES), cold energy power generation, and cold energy air conditioning.
“Liquid air energy storage” (LAES) systems have been built, so the technology is technically feasible. Moreover, LAES systems are totally clean and can be sited nearly anywhere, storing vast amounts of electricity for days or longer and delivering it when it's needed. But there haven't been conclusive studies of its economic viability.
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.
