This energy storage system functions by utilizing electricity to compress air during off-peak hours, which is then stored in underground caverns. When energy demand is elevated during the peak hours, the stored compressed air is released, expanding and passing through a turbine to generate electricity.
One energy storage solution that has come to the forefront in recent months is Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES), which uses liquid air to create an energy reserve that can deliver large-scale, long duration energy storage.
Air has been recently regarded as a Cryogenic Energy Storage (CES) medium, whereby air is liquefied at around −195 °C and stored in insulated tanks ( Antonelli et al., 2017 ). This technology is called Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES).
