To increase the round-trip efficiency of liquid air energy storage systems, it is crucial to use cold thermal energy storage. This involves storing the cold energy recovered from the liquid air during evaporation, and reusing it to improve the liquid yield in the next charging cycle.
Therefore, a compact LAES configuration is proposed with pressurized propane (1 MPa) as an example for cold recovery and storage. A new concept of cold storage density is discussed for the first time to show how much cold energy is stored per unit.
An innovative cold storage concept was developed to increase the efficiency of a liquid air energy storage system. Three cold storages were defined for the entire temperature range available by regasification.
Cryogenic energy storage (CES) is the use of low temperature (cryogenic) liquids such as liquid air or liquid nitrogen to store energy. [1][2] The technology is primarily used for the large-scale storage of electricity.
This makes it possible to recover and store the cold energy from liquid air by single pressurized fluid with a two-tank configuration. Therefore, a compact LAES configuration is proposed with pressurized propane (1 MPa) as an example for cold recovery and storage.

When it is cheaper (usually at night), electricity is used to cool air from the atmosphere to -195 °C using the Claude Cycle to the point where it liquefies. The liquid air, which takes up one-thousandth of the volume of the gas, can be kept for a long time in a large vacuum flask at atmospheric pressure. At times of high demand for electricity, the liquid air is pumped at high pressure into a heat exchanger
This study offers crucial references and a foundation for the engineering application of LNG cold energy in energy storage and power plant peak regulation.
