These technologies include pumped hydro storage (PHS), compressed air energy storage (CAES), buoyancy work energy storage (BWES), and flywheels. PHS can be used directly to produce freshwater if integrated with an RO unit, which results in decreasing the capital cost of the RO system, and the environmental impact [210] .
2.1. History 2.1.1. History of liquid air energy storage plant The use of liquid air or nitrogen as an energy storage medium can be dated back to the nineteen century, but the use of such storage method for peak-shaving of power grid was first proposed by University of Newcastle upon Tyne in 1977 .
Local energy storage can be applied to assist with voltage regulation (specifically voltage rise) in the presence of high levels of distributed generation. Energy storage may be used to absorb the active power injected by the local generation, reducing the amount exported into the supply network.
4.1. Standalone liquid air energy storage In the standalone LAES system, the input is only the excess electricity, whereas the output can be the supplied electricity along with the heating or cooling output.
From the point of view of the local energy storage facilities (batteries and reservoirs), the investments are strongly influenced by the role of the grid exchange and the degree of autonomy expected for the plants. The variable spatial location and capacity of plants may warrant significant economies of scale and variable capital costs.
6. 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 achieve this, liquid air energy storage plants recycle the waste cold that results from the discharge stage, to help cool incoming air when charging. This reduces the amount of power used for cooling and increases the overall efficiency of the system.
