23 ALIVE principles and typical benefits 1. ASU and boiler operate out of phase 2. Part of the O 2 consumed on peak is separated - at lower cost - off peak 3. O 2 liquefaction energy transferred to liquid nitrogen and vice versa Overall Energy Storage efficiency > 95% ALIVE OPEX : ASU sized for max O 2 consumption (typical) +5% net output on peak; -10% O 2 production cost ALIVE CAPEX : ASU sized for average O 2 consumption (typical) (yp -15% ASU investment cost; -3% O 2 production cost + Improved flexibility and drastic reduction of O 2 venting 23 September 2013 OCC3, Ponferrada, Spain 23
