Abstract. The aim of the present study is to evaluate an option of integration of liquid air energy storage (LAES) into regenerative steam turbine cycle. The waste heat from LAES discharge is used for feed water preheating. Thermodynamic analysis shows that the newly proposed hybrid LAES system has a round-trip efficiency of 16% higher than the standalone LAES.
