Liquid air energy storage – a flexible, scalable approach to energy storage

 

Secure your power supply with ambient air 

Liquid air energy storage (LAES) provides an economical, long-term method for storing excess, off-peak energy. This large-scale solution has no geographical constraints and enables fluctuating renewable sources to support base loads.

Boost operational flexibility and keep your power system stable 

LAES plants represent a large-scale, long-term energy storage solution, providing hundreds of megawatts of output. What’s more, LAES systems can process industrial waste heat or cold from other applications to further improve the efficiency of the system. This innovative, flexible technology can be used in multiple applications, such as transmission and distribution optimization, peak shaving, and intraday arbitrage, meaning energy is stored at low tariffs and discharged at high tariffs.

Liquid air energy storage technology uses off-peak or excess energy to compress, liquefy and store air in insulated tanks. The air is then evaporated, expanded and heated to produce power when demand is high. LAES solutions can be installed anywhere regardless of geography.
