“…Volume energy density of compressed air is low and large‐scale expensive pressure vessels are necessary for storing a large amount of compressed air. In the LAES and supercritical CAES systems, liquid air is stored in insulated tanks at low temperature and normal pressure, thereby achieving higher volume energy density and lower cost for pressure vessels . Early in 1977, Smith proposed to achieve large‐scale energy storage using the liquid air.…”

“…Lessons from the pilot system informed developers that energy efficiency could potentially reach 60% if heat/cold energy recovery was enhanced and the number and position of the turbo expanders was optimized . Similarly, Antonelli et al theoretically evaluated that the round‐trip efficiency of the LAES was only about 10% when the atmosphere was the heat/cold sink, while the efficiency could be significantly improved by using other high temperature heat sources. Thus, the utilization of the heat/cold energy is critical for improving the total performance of the LAES systems .…”

Theoretical results showed that the overall system energy efficiency could reach 62% to approximately 72% by recovering the compression heat and vaporization cold energy and utilizing other available waste heat sources.…”

Summary Marine renewable energies are promising enablers of a cleaner energy future. Some technologies, like wind, are maturing and have already achieved commercial success. Similar to their terrestrial counterparts, marine renewable energy systems require energy storage capabilities to achieve the flexibility of the 21st century grid demand. The unique difficulties imposed by a harsh marine environment challenge the unencumbered rise of marine renewable energy generation and storage systems. In this study, the fundamentals of marine renewable energy generation technologies are briefed. A comprehensive review and comparison of state‐of‐the‐art novel marine renewable energy storage technologies, including pumped hydro storage (PHS), compressed air energy storage (CAES), battery energy storage (BES), hydrogen energy storage (HES), gravity energy storage (GES), and buoyancy energy storage (ByES), are conducted. The pros and cons, and potential applications, of various marine renewable energy storage technologies are also compiled. Finally, several future trends of marine renewable energy storage technologies are connoted.

“…They found the temporary storage of cold thermal energy using packed beds with rocks as filler improves efficiency of LAES by 50%. Antonelli [9] presents a study about a hybrid solution including a large scale energy storage system coupled with power generation and fast responding energy storage systems. Li [10] provided a novel LAES system utilizing LNG cold energy to increase the air liquefaction ratio.…”
