Could liquid air energy storage be a low-cost alternative?
A new model developed by an MIT-led team shows that liquid air energy storage could be the lowest-cost option for ensuring a continuous supply of power on a future grid dominated by carbon-free but intermittent sources of 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.
How much does liquid air storage cost?
In simple terms, the LCOS is the cost of storing each unit of energy over the lifetime of a project, not accounting for any income that results. On that measure, the LAES technology excels. The researchers’ model yielded an LCOS for liquid air storage of about $60 per megawatt-hour, regardless of the decarbonization scenario.
How does pumped hydro energy storage work?
For example, with pumped hydro energy storage, water is pumped from a lake to another, higher lake when there’s extra electricity and released back down through power-generating turbines when more electricity is needed. But that approach is limited by geography, and most potential sites in the United States have already been used.
Is LCoS a good option for liquid air storage?
On that measure, the LAES technology excels. The researchers’ model yielded an LCOS for liquid air storage of about $60 per megawatt-hour, regardless of the decarbonization scenario. That LCOS is about a third that of lithium-ion battery storage and half that of pumped hydro.
What is ground-level integrated diverse energy storage (glides)?
The Ground-Level Integrated Diverse Energy Storage (GLIDES) project concluded R&D of a new form of PSH targeting the gap between small-scale batteries and large grid-scale PSH options.
