Royal Academy of Engineering and Highview create 5-year research chair in liquid air energy storage

Green Car Congress

LAES has the potential to drive the development of variable renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power, due to its ability to convert excess/off-peak electricity into multi megawatts hours of stored energy. When power is required, liquid air is drawn from the tanks, pumped to high pressure and heated.

And in a true smart grid, electric cars will not only be able to draw on electricity to run their motors, they will also be able to do the reverse: send electricity stored in their batteries back into the grid when it is needed. In effect, cars would be acting like tiny power stations. While utilities such as E.ON but not all of it.

Also, besides giving you the ability to charge at night when most utility rates are lower, future vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology may allow you to sell some of your stored energy back to the utilities. For instance, they may have solar panels on their roof or could, via their utility, opt for energy from renewable sources.
