their power generation when connected to electric networks will threaten the stability and security of grid [2, 3]. Energy storage is a good solution to decouple the energy supply and demand,
Liquid air energy storage (LAES) is one of the most promising large-scale energy storage technology, including air liquefaction, storage, and power generation. In the LAES,
In recent years, offshore wind power has a rapid development [1, 2].Especially in China, the installed capacity of offshore wind power will reach 200 GW till 2030 [3, 4], which
natural gas, usually stored in low-temperature storage tanks, and then re gasified when used. The combustion of liquefied natural gas causes very little air pollution, but and economy of the
To efficiently harness the released cold energy from LNG gasification, this study proposes an integrated system comprising air separation, power generation, refrigeration, and ice thermal
Clathrate hydrate slurries (CHSs) are new and promising PCMs for cold energy storage due to their latent heat close to that of ice, melting temperature of exceeding 0 °C, and
Due to the fluctuating renewable energy sources represented by wind power, it is essential that new type power systems are equipped with sufficient energy storage devices to
The schematic diagram of the cold energy storage system by using LNG cold energy is shown in Fig. 11. The conventional cold energy storage systems which can be used for LNG cold energy utilization include liquid air system, liquid carbon dioxide system, and phase change material (PCM) system.
Several utilization ways of how to use LNG cold energy in power generation are discussed. Among them, LNG and gas turbine combined with CO 2 recovery cycle is recommeded. It is comprehensive usage of LNG cold energy recovery, power generation and carbon dioxide emission reduction.
The researchers found that an ORC system, which converts low-temperature heat into electricity, is the most promising technique for recovering cold energy compared to other different kinds of power generation technologies.
Cold energy extraction system is installed between pump and re-gasification systems or is replaced later one entirely. Representative examples are air separation, power generation, liquid CO 2 production, cold storage and district cooling. Country-specific installation details are shown in Table 2.
The basic cryogenic power generation cycles utilizing LNG cold energy are direct expansion cycle, organic Rankine cycle, and Brayton cycle. Among these cycles, direct expansion cycle is a special one since it only utilizes the mechanical exergy (pressure exergy) of LNG .
The cold energy of LNG cannot be stored since LNG regasification is a continuous process , and hence must be transferred into an appropriate form of storage. It would be ideal to convert LNG cold energy into other types of cold energy that can be kept frozen for a long time.
