The digitalisation of district heating and cooling is essential to decarbonising the thermal energy system, a new IEA report states. A dedicated effort should be directed to defining shared standards for data stream labelling, component naming and description of district heating and cooling network layout. Have you read?

Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES) uses electricity to cool air until it liquefies, so it can be stored until an opportune moment arrives when it can be brought back to a gaseous state and used for power generation. This is achieved by compressing the air to form a high-pressure gas, the air is then cooled by heat exchange with a cold fluid.
