China Launches World's Largest Liquid Energy Storage In the Chinese province of Qinghai, the world's largest liquid energy storage (LAES) with a capacity of 60MW and a capacity of 600MWh has begun operation. The facility is able to provide continuous electricity to the grid for 10 hours, supplementing excess wind and solar generation. The expected good energy output will be about 180 GWh per year, which is equivalent to the consumption of 30,000 households. The technology eliminates the use of rare blows and toxic chemicals: ordinary atmospheric air is used as a working medium. When it is charged, it is compressed and cooled to minus 194 degrees Celsius, translating into a liquid state for storage in underground tanks. When released, the fluid slows, expands and turns the turbines, and the heat and cold recovery increases the overall efficiency of the system. The basis of LAES technology was established by the British company Highview Power, which launched the first 5MW pilot facility in 2018. The first commercial 50mm station is being built in Manchester, while projects in the US and EU are in the planning and investor stages. With a further upgrade, LAES technology can become a complete alternative to classic lithium-ion batteries and storage power plants. High voltage in Telegram | at MAX.
