Editor's note: recently, the first liquid air energy storage will be released in the United States, the storage size of 50 mw / 400 MWH, is one of the world's largest liquid storage air plant.
liquid air energy storage may be the future potential energy storage options, the recent British liquid air ( 液态空气) Energy storage company Highview Power is in the United States to build the first plant of 50 mw / 400 MWH, size is more than ever, will also become the world's largest liquid storage air plant.
previous Highview Power announced in 2022 in the UK will be create 250 MWH of 50 mw/Energy storage plant, bay and the United States now Encore Renewable Energy cooperation, will announce their full size batteries at low temperature ( CRYOBattery) Technology imports and is expected to set in northern vermont 50 mw / 400 MWH power plant, energy can be stored for up to 8 hours.
full size battery is at low temperature through renewable energy power, - will fall to air temperature of 0 degrees Celsius 196 degrees, then the liquid air into large vacuum metal cans, need electricity to raise the temperature of the air so that it has expanded, then can drive the generator. Highview previously said, solar net, if in a 200 mw / 2 GWH estimates the size of the system, solar energy equipment, solar energy, per MWh cost about 110 pounds, has than lithium ion battery per MWh $187 less.
and liquid air energy storage technology has a big advantage, because it is electricity to air liquide and storage, liquid air energy storage can be stored for months, much longer than a few hours of lithium ion batteries.
but Highview Power did not reveal more about investment amount and the location of the information, saying only that the construction will help ease the Sheffield city and highgate long-term problem of Power transmission, 谢菲尔德。 海格特出口接口) , looking forward to the future to make extra renewable energy power can be efficient and stable power grid, to achieve stable electricity supply and demand, adjust the power frequency, to reduce the outage risk, etc.
vermont is also the important green pioneer, aims to increase of renewable energy power generation in 2050 accounted to 90%, burlington, vermont is the first 100% of green city in the United States, the development of renewable energy has been more than 40 years, and finally in 2015, and the most special is, solar energy, the city electricity 44% consists of raw biomass.
the construction market will also help expand America's energy storage system, solar energy, according to the analysis of the company Wood Mackenzie Power & amp; Renewables, predicts 2024, the United States energy storage market surged more than 700%, is expected to be as $5. 4 billion.
