Highview induces partner to deliver 50MW storage

• MAN Energy Solutions will supply the turbomachinery train for the LAES center in Greater Manchester

Highview Power has actually picked MAN Energy Solutions to offer crucial equipment for a 50MW liquid air energy storage (LAES) plant it is building in Greater Manchester in the UK.

The turbomachinery train from MAN will form the core of the CRYOBattery facility that, upon completion, will certainly form one of Europe's biggest battery-storage systems.

Highview Power Chief Executive Officer Javier Cavada (pictured left) claimed: "Highview Power counts on partnering with firms that share our commitment to a decarbonised world, and also granting MAN the agreement to build out our Carrington center reinforces that commitment.

" MAN is well-respected in the market and has an excellent record of building large energy properties. We are proud to be working with them on this significant project."

Stage one will certainly include the installment of a 'security island', to give near-instantaneous energy grid stabilisation. This will be accomplished using a generator and flywheel, to name a few elements. Making it possible for short-term stabilisation will certainly provide the basis for phase 2 as well as the completion of the much more complex fluid air energy storage system that includes numerous compressors, air expanders and cryogenic tools.
