However, because the liquefied air energy storage system has more equipment and relatively complex system, the conventional liquefied air energy storage cycle efficiency is lower, and is generally 40-50%. In addition, the high-purity air environment after expansion power generation is released in the energy release process, so that resource waste is caused. Therefore, aiming at the problems of high-purity air environment release, low electric-electric conversion efficiency, large compressor stage pressure ratio, long cost recovery period and the like after the energy release of the liquefied air energy storage system, the improvement of the overall cycle efficiency of the system becomes the key point and the difficulty of the current colleges and universities and enterprises.

The air separation equipment is high in power consumption, and the peak-to-valley electricity price difference of the time-of-use electricity price mechanism is further increased, so that the power consumption ratio is considerable. If the liquefied air energy storage technology is combined with a conventional air separation device, refrigeration energy levels of the two technologies are accurately matched, raw materials are complemented, namely, the problem of high-purity air emission in the energy release process of the liquefied air energy storage system is solved, the high-purity air raw materials with matched external pressure can be provided for air separation equipment, comprehensive electricity utilization cost of air separation enterprises is reduced, and economic benefit is improved. In addition, the coupling integration of the two can fundamentally solve the problem that the conventional liquefied air energy storage technology is low in electric circulation efficiency, and the improvement of electricity utilization coincidence in the valley period is also beneficial to improving the running efficiency of the generator set and reducing the power load requirement in the peak period.
