6 FAQs about [Liquid-cooled energy storage investment]

What is liquid air energy storage?

Liquid air energy storage (LAES) is a technology that converts electricity into liquid air by cleaning, cooling, and compressing air until it reaches a liquid state. This stored liquid air can later be heated and re-expanded to drive turbines connected to generators, producing electricity.

What is the difference between air cooled and liquid cooled energy storage?

The implications of technology choice are particularly stark when comparing traditional air-cooled energy storage systems and liquid-cooled alternatives, such as the PowerTitan series of products made by Sungrow Power Supply Company. Among the most immediately obvious differences between the two storage technologies is container size.

Are liquid cooled battery energy storage systems better than air cooled?

Liquid-cooled battery energy storage systems provide better protection against thermal runaway than air-cooled systems. “If you have a thermal runaway of a cell, you’ve got this massive heat sink for the energy be sucked away into. The liquid is an extra layer of protection,” Bradshaw says.

Could liquid air unlock a new opportunity for long-duration energy storage?

The world’s most available substance could unlock a new opportunity for long-duration energy storage. Liquid air refers to air that has been cooled to low temperatures, causing it to condense into a liquid state. Credit: Waraphorn Aphai via Shutterstock.

How efficient is a liquid air storage system?

The research placed the efficiency for a liquid air storage system’s complete charge and discharge cycle at 20%-50%, though Highview rebutted with a 50%-60% round-trip efficiency estimation for a standalone system. Either way, LAES lags behind PSH (65%-85%) and batteries (80%-95%) in efficiency.

What are the benefits of liquid cooling?

The advantages of liquid cooling ultimately result in 40 percent less power consumption and a 10 percent longer battery service life. The reduced size of the liquid-cooled storage container has many beneficial ripple effects. For example, reduced size translates into easier, more efficient, and lower-cost installations.
