Liquid air: A cool option for energy storage?

Envirotec Magazine

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. Like other energy storage solutions, the idea of liquid air energy storage is to balance out electricity supply and demand.

doesn’t necessarily face the same demand drivers as other FPV markets in Asia, [but] there is growing interest for FPV within the country,” said Cox in an email. The cooling effect water has on panels can increase solar performance, while solar panels can shade parts of water bodies like reservoirs and reduce evaporation.

Electrification gets down to the wire

GreenBiz

Buildings are similarly opening their doors to being powered entirely by electricity, supplanting natural gas and other fuels for heating and cooling. That’s leading manufacturers to amp up a new generation of boilers, chillers and other machines and appliances to accommodate the growing demand.

Doteasy Technology Inc: A Certified Sustainable Web Hosting Solution

Green Business Bureau

All of Doteasy’s operations are run using 100% renewable hydropower, this includes the running of their data centers. Doteasy directly addresses this issue by maintaining their data centers using energy-efficient water-cooled chillers, which consume much less energy and have greater longevity than traditional air-chilled coolers.

First Street also concluded that a lack of cooling infrastructure is set to exacerbate the consequences of higher temperatures. To make matters worse, cooling costs for those who do have air conditioning are also likely to rise. These increases in cooling needs are also tied to an increase in carbon dioxide emissions.

The need for on-site energy storage and solar-supplemented solutions is also emphasized to reduce demand charges. They must design for the cooling aspects, different connectors, and the battery management system. MCS can also draw power from various sources, including renewable energy such as wind, solar, and hydropower.
