Stage of Development
Working quietly below the radar for the past five years, Highview has developed a novel utility scale storage and power system.
Hosted by SSE (Scottish & Southern Energy) and jointly funded by the UK’s Department of Energy & Climate Change (DECC), we are currently testing a pilot demonstrator.
With full integration into the UK's national grid (regulation compliant), and delivering electricity on a daily basis, the plant demonstrates the practical operation of Highview's technology.
Technology
Cryogenic Energy Storage: our proprietary system, (we use liquefied air or liquid nitrogen as the storage medium), can deliver three services simultaneously:
i) energy storage;
ii) convert waste heat to power from co-located industrial or utility plants, including bio-mass and Energy from Waste plants; critically to include low grade heat;
iii) deliver cold: air conditioning, data centre cooling or refrigeration.

COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS
i) Highview Cryo Energy System (modular): energy storage system scalable from a few MWs to hundreds of MWs.
ii) Highview Cryo GenSet (modular): a zero emission alternative to a diesel genset or gas peaking plant. For more limited operations - e.g. back-up/security of supply/peak capacity.

Events
The Liquid Air Energy Network (LAEN) is the new forum for the advocacy and development of liquid air as an alternative way to harness waste and surplus energy within power and transport. Highview has been invited to speak at a number of events during 2013. To see past and upcoming events where we will be presenting, please visit our events page.
LAEN
The Liquid Air Energy Network (LAEN) is the new forum for the advocacy and development of liquid air as an alternative way to harness waste and surplus energy within power and transport.
The Centre for Low Carbon Futures published on the 9th May a report: Liquid Air in the energy and transport systems: Opportunities for industry and innovation in the UK. Contributors included Arup, Ricardo, Messer Group, National Grid and a number of leading UK Universities; and the formation of LAEN is a core outcome of the report.
