New research finds liquid air energy storage could be the lowest-cost option for ensuring a continuous power supply on a future grid dominated by carbon-free but intermittent sources of electricity.
Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is an effective solution for balancing this mismatch and therefore is suitable for use in future electrical systems to achieve a high penetration of renewable energy generation.
For example, liquid air energy storage (LAES) reduces the storage volume by a factor of 20 compared with compressed air storage (CAS).
Conclusions With excellent storage duration, capacity, and power, compressed air energy storage systems enable the integration of renewable energy into future electrical grids. There has been a significant limit to the adoption rate of CAES due to its reliance on underground formations for storage.
“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.
