AC transmission and Liquid air storage

Energy flows from AC transmission to liquid air storage; energy flows from liquid air storage to AC transmission.

AC transmission (energy) and Liquid air storage (energy): 2 relationships.

How they are linked

1. Energy flow

Physical flow · Direct · AC transmission → Liquid air storage

Grid power liquefies air for later release.

2. Energy flow

Physical flow · Direct · Liquid air storage → AC transmission

Liquid air plants supply stored power to the grid.
