Article PDF Liquid air energy storage (LAES) uses air as both the storage medium and working fluid, and it falls into the broad category of thermo-mechanical energy storage technologies.
Additionally, they require large-scale heat accumulators. Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) and Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES) are innovative technologies that utilize air for efficient energy storage. CAES stores energy by compressing air, whereas LAES technology stores energy in the form of liquid air.
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.
Notably, the most significant contrast lies in the fundamental nature of their primary energy storage mechanisms. LAES, or Liquid Air Energy Storage, functions by storing energy in the form of thermal energy within highly cooled liquid air.
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 .
Chai et al and Liao et al studied packed-bed based cryogenic energy storage both experimentally and numerically under super-critical (SC) conditions. They found that the exergy loss of direct heat transfer within the packed-bed was smaller than that of indirect multi-tank storage configurations .
