The winners included Highview, which has developed a system that uses liquid nitrogen to achieve the triple goals of storing energy, converting waste heat to power, and delivering air conditioning.

Today, the UK has 3GW of pumped hydro storage, most of which is located in North Wales to provide reserve power for now defunct nuclear and coal plants. But with an increasing amount of renewable energy being added to the grid, ESN believes storage capacity should be ramped up to at least 5GW by the end of the decade.

The association today urged the government to set a clear target to install an additonal 2GW of storage capacity by 2020, requiring an investment of £4bn, but potentially saving £3bn per year by 2020.

One of the major drawbacks of solar and wind energy is that wind and the sun do not produce enough energy on a continuous scale. It is said that wind turbines tend to be productive only when the demand for power is low (during morning and evening) and become passive by the middle of the day when the need for electricity increases. So that poses a question about energy storage and whether it could be a potential solution, ensuring we get the best out of our renewables. Energy storage could ensure stable power supply during the day as well as at night.

However, air may yet hold the key to energy storage – in liquid form. For the past two years, on a patch of land not much bigger than a basketball court in Slough, UK, a liquid air pilot storage plant has been quietly generating electricity using the excess energy from a neighbouring biomass plant. This tangle of gleaming white pipes and tanks has enough advantages over rival technologies to have been hailed as a critical part of our energy future. “This could save the UK billions,” says Tim Fox, head of energy and environment at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers in London.

Cryogenic storage can be switched on very quickly – it’s literally as easy as turning on a tap. So the specs are probably as good as diesel generators, but without any on-site pollution.

The way it would work is as follows: the data centre invests in some more backup cryogenic storage than it would need in a power cut, and charges the system up during off-peak hours. Hours of peak demand for electricity probably coincide with peak demand for data centre services (in business and leisure hours, people do a lot of Facebook and social media).
