The liquid air storage (LAS) enables the system to partly behave as a storage system by shifting the liquefaction and the generation phase. Highview Power Storage built a small pilot and a medium prototype LAES plant (5 MW) in the UK [8]. The company expects round-trip efficiency up to 0.6 with hot and cold storage.

The round trip efficiency, defined as the net work recovered during discharge/compression work during charging can be expressed as: (1) χ = y (W t-W p) W c where y is the liquid yield (mass of liquid produced/total mass) of the isenthalpic expansion process through the throttle valve (3–4), W t is the turbine work (2–1), W p is the pump
