The large increase in population growth, energy demand, CO 2 emissions and the depletion of the fossil fuels pose a threat to the global energy security problem and present many challenges to the energy industry. This requires the development of efficient and cost-effective solutions like the development of micro-grid networks integrated with energy storage
What is Liquid Nitrogen? Liquid nitrogen is used in a variety of applications such as a coolant for computers, in medicine for removing skin tags or pre-cancerous cells and in cryogenics, where universities and scientists study the effect of very cold temperatures on materials.
Scheme 1 liquid nitrogen energy storage plant layout. At the peak times, the stored LN2 is used to drive the recovery cycle where LN2 is pumped to a heat exchanger (HX4) to extract its coldness which stores in cold storage system to reuse in liquefaction plant mode while LN2 evaporates and superheats. The nitrogen then flows through the heat
Energy storage: the ability to transport energy over distances and in a safe and easily used fashion. Chemically, physically, or by other means, it is a challenge of both efficiency and capacity.

Image: SEV. Hitachi Energy has been selected to supply a large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) for a wind farm in the Faroe Islands, as the remote archipelago targets a goal of 100% renewable energy. The North Atlantic islands, between Norway and Iceland and north of Scotland, are home to about 50,000 people.
“In the Faroe Islands, we are blessed with renewables: we have wind, hydro and some sun in the summer; we also have tidal and wave power where we can see great potential,” says Nielsen. Since announcing its green vision in 2014, SEV has already done a lot to increase the share of renewables in its energy mix.
“The energy system in the Faroe Islands is an impressive example of how all available energy resources can be integrated into a smart and innovative microgrid,” says Vehkakoski.
Even more conservative scenarios predict that the Faroe Islands’ current electricity consumption of approximately 350,000 MWh per year will increase to approximately 450,000 MWh in 2025. “The current discussion recommends using more green energy and especially the potential for wind energy is quite high,” says one of the islanders.
Concluding remarks Liquid air energy storage (LAES) is becoming an attractive thermo-mechanical storage solution for decarbonization, with the advantages of no geological constraints, long lifetime (30–40 years), high energy density (120–200 kWh/m 3), environment-friendly and flexible layout.
To recover the cryogenic energy stored in the liquid air/nitrogen more effectively, Ahmad et al. [102, 103] investigated various expansion cycles for electricity and cooling supply to commercial buildings. As a result, a cascade Rankine cycle was suggested, and the recovery efficiency can be higher than 50 %.
