Caption
The proposed Liquid Air Energy System can be connected to the power grid and solar panels to draw electricity and also to the Liquid Natural Gas terminal to harvest cold energy, where it will store energy by converting air into a liquid form. When electricity is needed, this can be generated by a turbine that is driven by air pressure from liquid air changing back to a gaseous state, at high pressure. Cold energy harvested from the process will be used to cool water used in chiller plants for air conditioning in data centres or any other application requiring high grade cold.
