- Emerging from research funded by EPSRC (EP/N032888/1; £5m) as part of a large collaboration of UK universities, this work describes a methodology for optimising decoupled energy storage plants to maximise their commercial opportunity. This is significant because large-scale energy storage in the UK is increasingly necessary to manage renewable supplies. Decoupled technologies (liquid air, compressed air and flow batteries) could be cost-effective solutions if appropriately configured. Findings reported here contributed to a patent (CN107702429B) and the IRENA report on Thermal Energy Storage Outlook (https://www.irena.org/publications/2020/Nov/Innovation-outlook-Thermal-energy-storage). It also led to an invitation from Professor Yan, KTH Sweden, to speak at ICAE2018 (http://www.applied-energy.org/icae2018/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/ICAE2018_final_Program.pdf).
