Research Trend

The increasing penetration of renewable energy has led electrical energy storage systems to have a key role in balancing and increasing the efficiency of the grid. Liquid air energy storage (LAES) is a promising technology, mainly proposed for large scale applications, which uses cryogen (liquid air) as energy vector. Compared to other similar large-scale technologies such as compressed air energy storage or pumped hydroelectric energy storage, the use of liquid air as a storage medium allows a high energy density to be reached and overcomes the problem related to geological constraints. Furthermore, when integrated with high-grade waste cold/waste heat resources such as the liquefied natural gas regasification process and hot combustion gases discharged to the atmosphere, LAES has the capacity to significantly increase the round-trip efficiency. Although the first document in the literature on the topic of LAES appeared in 1974, this technology has gained the attention of many researchers around the world only in recent years, leading to a rapid increase in a scientific production and the realization of two system prototype located in the United Kingdom (UK). This study aims to report the current status of the scientific progress through a bibliometric analysis, defining the hotspots and research trends of LAES technology. The results can be used by researchers and manufacturers involved in this entering technology to understand the state of art, the trend of scientific production, the current networks of worldwide institutions, and the authors connected through the LAES. Our conclusions report useful advice for the future research, highlighting the research trend and the current gaps.

Pyrolysis Oil

Biomass fast-pyrolysis oil (PO) is a liquid biofuel derived from lignocellulosic biomass: it offers several advantages compared to the direct us of solid bio fuels, such as high energy density, storability and transportability typical of liquid fuels, possibility to use the fuel in engines and turbines, easier downscaling of plants (which is a very important aspect for decentralized energy generation schemes). In addition, PO is the lowest cost biofuel, thus offering the possibility to penetrate also the large scale power generation market. Biomass POs have been studied and applications tested for many years, either for heat generation in medium-scale boilers or power generation. The present works reviews and analyses the most relevant experiences carried out so far and published results in power production from biomass PO. Power generation systems (PGS) which are here examined are gas turbines, diesel engines, stirling engines, as well as co-firing applications in large scale power plants (coal or natural gas plants). The main techniques for upgrading this biofuel and their impact on technologies are also shortly introduced and considered. The current status of development for each PO-based power generation option is discussed. This review work showed that long term demonstration (either technical or economical) is however still needed, even for the most developed technologies (use of PO in modified gas turbines and cofiring in natural gas stations): projects are on going to achieve long term demonstration.

Energy Independence

Alaska village survival is threatened by the high cost of imported fuels for heating, electricity generation, and vehicles. During Winter 2007–8, the price per gallon of heating oil and diesel generation fuel exceeded $8 in many villages. Many villagers were forced to move to Anchorage or Fairbanks. Although indigenous renewable energy (RE) resources may be adequate to supply a community’s total annual energy needs, the innate intermittent and seasonal output of the renewables — except geothermal, where available, which may be considered “baseload” — requires large-scale, low-cost energy storage to provide an annually-firm energy supply. Anhydrous ammonia, NH3, is the most attractive, carbon-free fuel for this purpose at Alaska village scale, because of its 17.8% mass hydrogen content and its high energy density as a low-pressure liquid, suitable for storage in inexpensive mild steel tanks. NH3 may be synthesized directly from renewable-source electricity, water, and atmospheric nitrogen (N2) via solid state ammonia synthesis (SSAS), a new process to be pioneered in Alaska.

AbstractA thermodynamic analysis of an advanced CAES for Distributed Power Generation (DPG) is presented that utilizes turbomachinery for energy recovery, but also gives continuous power generation to augment on-site power. The advanced CAES uses renewable energy such as wind power and solar PV in the power range of 1500 to 2500 kW plus recuperation of waste heat from the existing on-site prime mover to improve the utility of the energy storage system. The proposed system also utilizes battery storage to maintain high energy density storage, preferably without the need for costly electrical rectifying and inversion systems to improve the stabilization of power generation. This proposed system may be thought of as a “cross-over” system that combines CAES technology with electric battery storage technology, particularly if the stored electric power is used directly as D.C. power at an industrial facility. The direct use of stored energy from a battery as heat input to the proposed “cross-over” system also may be considered in some limited applications. The ideal application of the proposed system is for isolated DPG systems perhaps in remote sites utilizing “power islands” of renewable energy augmented with on-site fossil fuel prime mover, power generation systems. The proposed “cross-over” system enables higher reliability, faster response to transient power loads, and the efficient use of renewable energy, as well as heat recovery from conventional prime mover systems that are on site.

Abstract Non–aqueous rechargeable multivalent metal (Ca, Mg, Al, etc.) batteries are promising for large–scale energy storage due to their low cost. However, their practical applications face formidable challenges owing to low electrochemical reversibility and dendrite growth of multivalent metal anodes, sluggish kinetics of multivalent ion in metal oxide cathodes, and poor electrode compatibility of flammable organic electrolytes. To overcome these intrinsic hurdles, we develop aqueous multivalent ion batteries to replace the prevailing non–aqueous multivalent metal batteries by using wide–window super–concentrated aqueous gel electrolytes, the versatile high–capacity sulfur anodes, and high–voltage metal oxide cathodes. This rationally designed aqueous battery chemistry enables the long–lasting multivalent ion batteries featured with increased high energy density, reversibility and safety. As a demonstration model, a calcium ion−sulfur||metal oxide full cell exhibited a high energy density of 110 Wh kg–1 with outstanding cycling stability. Molecular dynamics modelling and experimental investigations revealed that the side reactions could be significantly restrained through the suppressed water activity and formation of protective inorganic solid electrolyte interphase in the aqueous gel electrolyte. The unique redox chemistry has also been successfully extended to aqueous magnesium ion and aluminum ion−sulfur||metal oxide batteries. This work will boost aqueous multivalent ion batteries for low−cost large–scale energy storage.

Aqueous zinc batteries are considered as one of the most promising energy storage systems for large-scale energy storage and wearable electronics, owing to their low cost and intrinsic safety. However, cathode materials that can reversibly host Zn<sup>2+</sup> are still less. Here, we demonstrate that two N-containing organic compounds, hexamethoxy hexaazatrinaphthylene (HMHATN) and hexaazatrinaphthylene (HATN), used as cathodes can exhibit excellent reversible Zn<sup>2+</sup> storage capability with fast kinetics and the high capacity of 542 and 963 mA h g<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. The Zn//HMHATN and Zn//HATN full batteries display the high energy density of 160 and 221.6 W h kg<sup>-1</sup>, respectively, and long-term cycling stability. Further, we investigate the mechanism of Zn<sup>2+</sup> storage in the cathodes. More importantly, the flexible aqueous Zn//HMHATN and Zn//HATN batteries fabricated also have high capacity, long-term cycling life and impressive energy density, displaying its application prospect in wearable electronics. Our work opens a new system for finding organic cathode materials used in aqueous zinc batteries.
