6 FAQs about [Liquid-cooled energy storage power station investment]

Could liquid air energy storage be a low-cost option?

New research finds liquid air energy storage could be the lowest-cost option for ensuring a continuous power supply on a future grid dominated by carbon-free but intermittent sources of electricity.

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.

Are liquid air energy storage systems economically viable?

“Liquid air energy storage” (LAES) systems have been built, so the technology is technically feasible. Moreover, LAES systems are totally clean and can be sited nearly anywhere, storing vast amounts of electricity for days or longer and delivering it when it’s needed. But there haven’t been conclusive studies of its economic viability.

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.

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.
