The Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM), under the National Research Council of Science and Technology (NST), has successfully developed and demonstrated key technologies for a Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES) system—recognized as a next-generation solution for large-scale, long-duration energy storage.
[pdf] “Storage” refers to technologies that can capture electricity, store it as another form of energy (chemical, thermal, mechanical), and then release it for use when it is needed. Lithium-ion batteriesare one such te.
[pdf] Active cell balancing is an optimal solution to achieve these goals, as it is the key to reducing battery heating and improving energy use efficiency. With active cell balancing, energy is evenly distributed among the cells rather than being converted into heat.
