4.1. Standalone liquid air energy storage In the standalone LAES system, the input is only the excess electricity, whereas the output can be the supplied electricity along with the heating or cooling output.
Concluding remarks Liquid air energy storage (LAES) is becoming an attractive thermo-mechanical storage solution for decarbonization, with the advantages of no geological constraints, long lifetime (30–40 years), high energy density (120–200 kWh/m 3), environment-friendly and flexible layout.
Liquids for the cold/heat storage of LAES are very popular these years, as the designed temperature or transferred energy can be easily achieved by adjusting the flow rate of liquids, and liquids for energy storage can avoid the exergy destruction inside the rocks.
Nevertheless, liquid air as an energy carrier holds promise for applications in cold chain supply with power generation, potentially outperforming fossil fuels in terms of technical, economic, and environmental aspects. However, economic reports of the decoupled LAES systems are scarce and require further elaboration.
4.1.2. Cold/heat storage with liquids Different from solids for cold/heat storage, the liquids for cold/heat storage work as not only the heat storage materials but also the heat transfer fluids for cold/heat recovery (i.e., cold/heat recovery fluids).
Pumped hydro energy storage (PHES), compressed air energy storage (CAES), and liquid air energy storage (LAES) are three large-scale energy storage methods . Among these, PHES harnesses the gravitational potential energy of water for storing electricity.
