Summary

Air Separation Units, a cryogenic process for the production of air gases, is basically a process that is electricity intensive, but also exhibits "energy storage" capacity, thanks to the liquefaction and buffering of liquid during night hours, and vaporizing during peak hours. This paper relies on recent work conducted by Air Liquide. It presents a case study of an ASU included in an oxycombustion process; a stand-alone cryogenic solution for electricity storage is also evaluated in the second part of this paper, in comparison with more classical solutions, such as hydraulic storage or compressed air energy storage.
