During the energy release process, the cold energy of the liquid energy storage nitrogen is stored in the cold storage tank by methanol and propane, and is used to cool the energy storage nitrogen during the energy storage process.
By reusing storage nitrogen and recovering compression heat, the proposed process reduces the initial investment cost by half while achieving a dynamic payback period of 6 years with a levelized cost of electricity at $82.8/MWh.
During the energy storage process, the waste heat of nitrogen compressors is stored in the high-temperature oil tank. The specific process is: the energy storage nitrogen (stream 38) is pressurized to the charging pressure by the independent nitrogen compressor unit (INCU) consisting of three nitrogen compressors, NC4-1, NC4-2 and NC4-3.

At the peak times, the stored LN2 is used to drive the recovery cycle where LN2 is pumped to a heat exchanger (HX4) to extract its coldness which stores in cold storage system to reuse in liquefaction plant mode while LN2 evaporates and superheats.
After cooling by methanol and propane, the high-pressure energy storage nitrogen (stream 46) is expanded in cryo-turbine and enters the liquid nitrogen tank (LNT). In the LNT, the liquid nitrogen is stored, and the gaseous nitrogen is extracted as the reflux nitrogen (stream 48) to be re-compressed in the INCU.
