Introduction. The concept of cryogenic energy storage (CES) is to store energy in the form of liquefied gas. When energy is needed at a later time, the liquid gas is pumped to high pressure and vaporized; the high-pressure gas can then be used to drive a turbine to generate electricity. The CES technology is being pioneered in the UK (Chen …
