3. Liquid air as both a storage medium and an efficient working fluid. Currently low-to-medium grade heat is often recovered by steam cycles with water/steam as a working fluid [11, 12].However, water/steam is not an ideal working fluid for efficient use of low-grade heat due to its high critical temperature of 374°C compared with the ambient …
The idea of condensing air has been known for almost 140 years—the first attempts to store energy using this technology date back to 1900. In 1998 Mitsubishi proposed an innovative method of generating electricity called Liquid Air Storage Energy (LASE), in which the energy storage medium was liquefied air [35].
During the discharge cycle, the pump consumes 7.5 kg/s of liquid air from the tank to run the turbines. The bottom subplot shows the mass of liquid air in the tank. Starting from the second charge cycle, about 150 metric ton of liquid air is produced and stored in the tank. As seen in the scope, this corresponds to about 15 MWh of energy storage.
