Cryogenic Energy Storage

Cryogenic energy storage is a novel method of storing grid electricity. The idea is that off-peak or low-cost electricity is used to liquefy air (by way of a compressor, cooler and then expander), that is then stored in an energy dense cold liquid form. When electricity is required the cold liquid air is pumped to increase its pressure, super
