The intermittency nature of renewables adds several uncertainties to energy systems and
consequently causes supply and demand mismatch. Therefore, incorporating the energy …

Abstract The term Carnot Battery refers to thermo-mechanical energy storage technologies
that store electricity in the form of thermal exergy with electricity as the main output. The …

Energy system decarbonisation pathways rely, to a considerable extent, on electricity
storage to mitigate the volatility of renewables and ensure high levels of flexibility to future …

Liquid air energy storage (LAES) represents one of the main alternatives to large-scale
electrical energy storage solutions from medium to long-term period such as compressed air …

The share of electricity generated by intermittent renewable energy sources is increasing
(now at 26% of global electricity generation) and the requirements of affordable, reliable and …

A large penetration of variable intermittent renewable energy sources into the electric grid is
stressing the need of installing large-scale Energy Storage units. Pumped Hydro Storage …

Abstract Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES) systems are thermal energy storage systems
which take electrical and thermal energy as inputs, create a thermal energy reservoir, and …

The current increase in the deployment of new renewable electricity generation systems is
creating new challenges in balancing electric grids. Solutions including energy storage at …

The paper presents a thermodynamic analysis of selected CAES and LAES systems. The
LAES cycle is a combination of an air liquefaction cycle and a gas turbine power generation …

Liquid air has recently emerged as a new energy vector that has the ability to reserve
considerable amounts of renewable energy as both cold and power. Liquid air used for …
