Liquid air energy storage (LAES) gives operators an economical, long-term storage solution for excess and off-peak energy. LAES plants can provide large-scale, long-term energy storage with hundreds of megawatts of output. Ideally, plants can use industrial waste heat or cold from applications to further improve the efficiency of the system.
Also, unlike batteries, liquid air storage does not create a demand for minerals which may become increasingly scarce as the world moves towards power systems based on variable renewable electricity. "Batteries are really great for short-term storage," Mr Dearman said. "But they are too expensive to do long-term energy storage.
The UK is pioneering a new way to store power with the world’s first grid-scale liquid air energy storage plant. The Pilsworth liquid air energy storage (LAES) plant, which is owned by Highview Power, opens on Tuesday in Bury and will act as a giant rechargeable battery, soaking up excess energy and releasing it when needed.
A commercial-scale plant would have a capacity of 50mw. Sean McLoughlin, a clean energy analyst at HSBC, said that liquid air energy storage was a more “complex” version of compressed air energy storage but had the advantage of being more space efficient.
