The basic principle of LAES involves liquefying and storing air to be utilized later for electricity generation. Although the liquefaction of air has been studied for many years, the concept of using LAES "cryogenics" as an energy storage method was initially proposed in 1977 and has recently gained renewed attention.
Abstract. The microgrid represents a controllable electric entity that contains different loads into distributed energy resources. All typical microgrids use two or more sources by which electricity is generated, at least one of which is a renewable source. In this respect the main issues of the energy storage systems (ESS) are the enhancing …
