- Methods and apparatuses which use liquid air or liquid nitrogen to regulate the network and provide control power in power grids.
- the ambient air is liquefied in an air separation plant with integrated condenser or in a separate liquefaction plant and stored in a liquid tank designed as a cryogenic storage tank.

- Such systems are described in WO 2007096656 and in DE 3139567 A1.
- the deep-cold liquid under very high pressure (200 bar) becomes indirect in the heat exchanger system
- the cold of the cryogenic liquid is thus on two different
- Heat transfer medium such as atmospheric air or hot (water) steam goes the
- the first phase (energy storage / liquefaction) of the process according to US 2001004830 A1 consists of several steps: the incoming air (10 to 15 bar) is first brought into indirect heat exchange with the second liquid refrigerant and cooled (to -150 ° C), then compressed (up to 40 bar), thereby warmed (-60 ° C at the outlet) and then brought into indirect heat exchange with the first liquid refrigerant and cooled again (to -170 ° C).
- the invention has for its object to improve such a system in terms of its efficiency and in particular to allow a relatively simple apparatus design. This object is solved by the characterizing features of claim 1. According to the invention occurs in the first mode of operation in the
- Air compression unit compressed feed air in the heat exchanger system under the same pressure in indirect heat exchange with the first liquid refrigerant and with the second liquid refrigerant. So there is no need to use a machine to increase the pressure between the heat exchange with the first brine and the heat exchange with the second brine. This reduces the number of hardware components such as heat exchangers, turbines and / or compressors; the costs for the entire liquid storage system are reduced and increases the efficiency of this application.
- Heat exchangers, coolers, adsorbers, etc. are.
- Both brine are warmed in the invention in the first operating mode to the same temperature level T2 or T4, from which they are cooled in the second operating mode from. Conversely, they are in the second
- Temperature is to be understood, but a temperature band of a width of up to 20 K.
- the goal is, of course, the smallest possible temperature difference between the two operating modes.
- the temperature levels are preferably in the following ranges: T1 (first refrigerant, lower level):
- T2 (second refrigerant, upper level):
- T3 (second refrigerant, lower level):
- T4 (second refrigerant, upper level):
- the two refrigerants differ in their chemical composition, in particular in their boiling point. They must be selected so that they are fluid throughout their workspace. Suitable for this purpose are, for example, ethanol (C 2 H 5 OH) as the first (warmer) refrigerant and propane (C 3 H 8 ) as the second (colder) refrigerant.
- ethanol C 2 H 5 OH
- propane C 3 H 8

- the heating and cooling of the brine is carried out in the heat exchanger system of the air treatment plant, anyway for the cooling of the Feed air in the first operating mode and the heating of the cryogenic liquid in the second operation is present.
- mechanical energy is generated from the high-pressure storage fluid in the second operating mode by either the storage fluid itself or a fluid derived from it in the gas expansion unit is expanded to perform work.
- the derived fluid may be formed, for example, by a mixture of the storage fluid with one or more other fluids, or by a reaction product of the storage fluid with one or more other substances.
- the latter can be formed, for example, by combustion exhaust gas, if the storage fluid contains oxygen and is used to burn a fuel.
- the heating of the first refrigerant in the first operating mode is
- the same pumps can be used, one for the transport of the first and the second
- the temperature ranges of the two brine can basically be disjoint (T4 ⁇ T1). Preferably, however, they overlap each other by the first
- Temperature level T1 is more than 18 K, in particular 20 to 70 K below the fourth temperature level T4. This allows a particularly effective optimization of the heat exchange diagram.
- the air compression unit in the second operating mode, can be switched off; In this case, heat for (pseudo) evaporation of the cryogenic liquid is supplied solely by the natural gas to be liquefied. In many cases, however, it may be favorable, albeit in the second operating mode Compressed air compressed in the air compression unit and cooled in the heat exchanger system. It appears unfavorable at first, in the second
- Air compression unit does not have to be switched off and on when switching between the operating modes, but continues to run continuously.
- the compressed amount of feed air can be obtained as high-pressure gas and from this additional electrical energy can be obtained.
- a "gas turbine system” comprises a gas turbine (gas turbine expander) and a combustion chamber. In the gas turbine, hot gases are released from the combustion chamber to perform work.
- the gas turbine system may also include a gas turbine driven gas turbine compressor. Some of the mechanical energy generated in the gas turbine is usually used to drive the gas turbine compressor. Another part is regularly converted to generate electrical energy in a generator. At least part of the generation of mechanical energy from the gaseous high-pressure storage fluid is carried out in this variant in the gas turbine system of the power plant, ie in an already existing in the power plant apparatus for converting pressure energy into mechanical drive energy. An additional separate system for work-performing expansion of the high-pressure storage fluid may be less complicated in the invention or completely omitted. In the simplest case, in the invention, the entire generation of mechanical energy from the gaseous high-pressure storage fluid in the

- the generation of energy from the high pressure storage fluid takes place outside of the gas turbine system.
- the "hot gas turbine system” may be formed in one stage with a heater and a single-stage turbine. Alternatively, it may have multiple turbine stages, preferably with reheat. In any case, it makes sense to provide another heater behind the last stage of the hot gas turbine system.
- Hot gas turbine system is preferably coupled to one or more generators for generating electrical energy.
- heating is meant a system for indirect heat exchange between a heating fluid and the gaseous storage fluid. This can transfer residual heat or waste heat to the storage fluid and to generate energy in the
- Hot gas turbine system can be used.
- Gas expansion unit has both one or more hot gas turbines and one or more gas turbine systems.

- the air treatment plant in which in the first operating mode the cryogenic
- Liquid is generated, may be formed as a cryogenic air separation plant or as an air liquefaction plant.
- a "cryogenic air separation plant” is charged with atmospheric air and has a distillation column system for decomposing atmospheric air into its physical components, particularly nitrogen and oxygen.
- the feed air is first cooled to near its dew point and then introduced into the distillation column system.
- the distillation column system of the invention may be configured as a one-column nitrogen-oxygen separation system, as a two-column system (e.g.
- Example as classic Linde double column system or as a three- or multi-column system. It may, in addition to the columns for nitrogen-oxygen separation other devices for recovering high purity products and / or other air components, in particular of noble gases, for example, an argon and / or a krypton xenon recovery.
- nitrogen-oxygen separation other devices for recovering high purity products and / or other air components, in particular of noble gases, for example, an argon and / or a krypton xenon recovery.
- An "air liquefaction plant” does not contain a distillation column part. Incidentally, their construction corresponds to that of a cryogenic air separation plant with the discharge of a liquid product. Of course, liquid air can also be generated as a by-product in a cryogenic air separation plant.
- the cryogenic liquid may be formed by liquefied air and / or liquid nitrogen, or generally by a fluid containing less oxygen than the atmospheric air. Also, a combination of two or more storage fluids of the same or different composition from the same air treatment plant or from a plurality of air treatment plants can be used in the invention.
- nitrogen is meant herein pure or substantially pure nitrogen as well as a mixture of air gases whose nitrogen content is higher than that of the atmospheric air, for example, the liquid nitrogen has a nitrogen content of at least 90%, preferably at least 99%. All percentages here and below refer to the molar amount, unless stated otherwise.
- the high pressure stream under the same superatmospheric pressure in the heat exchanger system (21) undergoes indirect heat exchange with the second liquid refrigerant and with the first liquid refrigerant. So there is no need to use a machine to increase the pressure between the heat exchange with the second brine and the heat exchange with the first brine.
