As an effective approach of implementing power load shifting, fostering the accommodation of renewable energy, such as the wind and solar generation, energy storage technique is playing an important role in the smart grid and energy internet. Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is a promising energy storage technology due to its cleanness, high
The operating costs of air separation unit are reduced by 50.87 % to 56.17 %. The scale of cold storage unit is decreased by 62.05 %. The LAES-ASU recovers expanded air, thereby eliminating energy wastage. Liquid air energy storage (LAES) emerges as a promising solution for large-scale energy storage.
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.
Liquid air energy storage (LAES) emerges as a promising solution for large-scale energy storage. However, challenges such as extended payback periods, direct discharge of pure air into the environment without utilization, and limitations in the current cold storage methods hinder its widespread adoption.
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.
Kantharaj et al proposed a CAES system with liquid air storage, with an aim to overcome the needs for a pressurized large storage tank and the geological constraint of CAES. They found an efficiency of the hybrid system at about 42%, and concluded that the system was more economical than purely an LAES or a CAES system.
Consequently, the flow rate of the compressed air is significantly lower compared to the energy storage process, resulting in a substantial reduction in power consumption. 2.1.3. Peak time – energy release process During peak time, the LAES-ASU operates in the energy release process.
