Liquid air energy storage could be the lowest-cost solution for ensuring a reliable power supply on a future grid dominated by carbon
Energy storage serves important grid functions, including time-shifting energy across hours, days, weeks, or months; regulating grid frequency; and ensuring flexibility to balance supply and
Any electrical power grid must match electricity production to consumption, both of which vary significantly over time. Energy derived from solar and wind sources varies with the weather on time scales ranging from less than a second to weeks or longer. Nuclear power is less flexible than fossil fuels, meaning it cannot easily match the variations in demand. Thus, low-carbon electricity without storage presents special challenges to electric utilities.
By storing energy when supply exceeds demand, energy storage solutions can help balance the grid, enhance energy access, and promote the widespread adoption of renewable
Energy storage boosts electric grid reliability and lowers costs, 47 as storage technologies become more efficient and economically viable. One study found that the economic value of
