Process‐informed co‐optimization of liquid air energy storage and data centers under off‐design thermodynamic operation

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The rapid growth of AI data centers (AIDCs) is intensifying stress on power systems and exposing operators to volatile electricity markets. This work develops a process‐informed co‐optimization framework that integrates liquid air energy storage (LAES) with AIDC operation. Unlike black‐box storage models, the proposed formulation captures LAES
