Highview Power and Ørsted have completed their joint investigation into how combining the technologies of Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES) and offshore wind.
The results show that there is value to combining offshore wind with LAES to support reducing wind curtailment, increasing productivity, and helping the move to a more flexible, resilient zero carbon grid. Further, as a result of this study, the companies believe a project can be developed and built aligned with the timeline of an offshore wind farm. The project findings will be fed into the UK Government’s ‘Long Duration Energy Storage’ consultation process to demonstrate the benefits of LAES in delivering the shift to clean energy.
