Keuka Energy recently launched a 125-kilowatt prototype vessel that uses its novel floating wind turbine design paired with liquid-air energy storage to create a steady source of electricity.
Liquid-air energy storage, also sometimes called cryogenic energy storage, is a long-term energy storage method: electricity liquefies air to nearly-200°C and then stores it at low pressure.
When the energy is needed, the liquid air is pumped to a high level of pressure and heated to a gas state.
