Core Viewpoint - The world's largest liquid air energy storage demonstration project, developed and constructed by China, has completed its infrastructure and equipment installation and has entered the debugging phase [1][3]. Group 1: Project Overview - The project is located in Golmud City, Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, with a capacity of 60 megawatts (MW) and 600 megawatt-hours (MWh) of storage, along with 25 MW of photovoltaic capacity [3]. - It has been selected as a pilot demonstration project by the National Energy Administration of China for new energy storage [3]. - Upon completion, it will be the world's first in power generation capacity and the largest in energy storage within the liquid air storage sector [3]. Group 2: Technical Advantages - The core technology allows air to transform into a storage medium in extremely cold conditions, with liquid air having a density 750 times that of air at room temperature, enabling safe storage at normal pressure [3]. - This technology addresses the low density and safety issues of traditional energy storage methods while offering significant clean and low-carbon advantages, as it operates solely on air with no carbon dioxide or pollutants emitted [3]. - The equipment has a long lifespan and can operate stably in extreme environments such as deserts and plateaus [3]. Group 3: Energy Output and Impact - The project can discharge energy continuously for 10 hours in a single cycle, delivering 600,000 kilowatt-hours of clean electricity, which can meet the annual electricity needs of approximately 30,000 households [3]. - The annual transmission capacity is expected to reach about 180 million kilowatt-hours [3].
