20140245756 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR POWER STORAGE - Cryogenic energy storage systems, and particularly methods for capturing cold energy and re-using that captured cold energy, are disclosed. The systems allow cold thermal energy from the power recovery process of a cryogenic energy storage system to be captured effectively, to be stored, and to be effectively utilised. The captured cold energy could be reused in any co-located process, for example to enhance the efficiency of production of the cryogen, to enhance the efficiency of production of liquid natural gas, and/or to provide refrigeration. The systems are such that the cold energy can be stored at very low pressures, cold energy can be recovered from various components of the system, and/or cold energy can be stored in more than one thermal store. | 09-04-2014 |
20140217739 | Electricity Generation Device and Method - There is disclosed a device and method for the generation of zero emission electricity that can be used to provide load balancing and emergency support to a electricity distribution network or back up electricity to a critical consumer such as a hospital or data centre. The system uses a cryogenic fluid and a source of low grade waste heat. A cryogenic fluid is first evaporated by an evaporator ( | 08-07-2014 |
20130284394 | INTEGRATION OF AN ENERGY STORAGE DEVICE WITH A SEPARATE THERMAL PROCESS - The present invention relates to methods of integrating one or more thermal processes with one another, wherein the thermal processes to be integrated have different supply and demand criteria for thermal energy. The method involves the use of one or more thermal stores. | 10-31-2013 |
20130240171 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR STORING THERMAL ENERGY - Methods and apparatus for storing thermal energy are disclosed. The thermal energy may be hot or cold. The methods and apparatus allow the thermal store to be charged and discharged at different rates. The methods and apparatus also allow the thermal store to be charged and discharged with multiple and/or interrupted phases. | 09-19-2013 |
20090282840 | ENERGY STORAGE AND GENERATION - The present invention concerns systems for storing energy and using the stored energy to generate electrical energy or drive a propeller ( | 11-19-2009 |
