The gas phase is directed back to the ACs to cool the compressed air (A22 to A24), while the liquid phase is stored in the liquid air storage tank (LAT). During the discharge process, the air is discharged from the LAT and enters the liquid air pump (LAP), where it is compressed to a high-pressure state (A11 to A12).
Pumped thermal energy storage (PTES) and liquid air energy storage (LAES) are two relatively new technologies that can potentially operate on a large scale. They use mechanically-driven thermodynamic cycles to store electricity in the form of high-grade (hot and cold) thermal exergy [5] .

Various energy storage technologies have been developed, e.g., PHS, compressed air (CA), pumped heat electrical storage, flywheels, hydrogen, capacitors, and batteries [6], [7].

In the power generation system, liquid air is pumped from the storage tank to the evaporator where it is heated from about 80 K to ambient temperature. This causes the liquid air to vaporize and build up 6.5 MPa of pressure. The high-pressure air is expanded through a 3-stage turbine with reheating to produce power.

To understand the concept of heat pumps, imagine a refrigerator working in reverse. While a refrigerator removes heat from an enclosed box and expels that heat to the surrounding air, a HPWH takes the heat from surrounding air and transfers it to water in an enclosed tank. During periods of high hot water demand, HPWHs switch to standard
The hot refrigerant passes its heat to the water, cools off and then returns to the evaporator coils where it starts its journey again, collecting warm ambient air. Heat pump water heaters must be
The liquid air is stored in the liquid air storage tank (STT). The heat energy generated during the compression process is saved in high-temperature storage tank (HTST) [23] . During the period of energy release, the liquid air is pressurized by the liquid pump (PUMP) and then vaporized by the heat regenerator (HRE).
