- Liquid Air Energy Storage is an important technology for balancing a low carbon power network. This paper is significant because it demonstrates for the first time that recycling thermal energy nearly doubles the efficiency of the cycle, making the concept economically viable for large-scale long-duration storage. This research, which is now commercialised internationally by Highview Power (co-authors on this article) directly underpinned two successful Innovate UK proposals with Highview Power (project refs. 133465 and 509372) and underpinned a REF2021 Impact Case Study [ICS_HighviewPower].
