About the Project

With the penetration of intermittent renewable energy sources into the national electricity grid, it is increasingly challenging to balance the electricity demand and generation. Energy storage (esp. grid scale energy storage) technologies become an important technical solution. Inspired by the cryogenic air separation (ASU) process, Liquid air energy storage (LAES) emerges very recently. Compared with Compressed air energy storage (CAES), LAES doesn’t have any geological constraints. However there are many questions to answer when a LAES plant operating with spare electricity from wind farm is integrated into the electricity grid. This project aims to explore how to design and operate a LAES plant with wind electricity under certain grid requirements.
