Abstract
The paper shows that the use of cryogenic technologies for the storage of electrical energy produced by renewable sources makes it possible to move from centralized energy supply systems to microgrids based on distributed energy systems. Also, cryogenic technologies make it possible to switch from centralized gas supply to individual supply of residential buildings and industrial enterprises with liquefied natural gas. It is expedient to create in Ukraine, on the basis of cryogenic storage systems of electricity produced by renewable sources, already existing local systems of electric power generation of various types, distributed systems of generation, united in micro-grids and virtual power plants. It is also possible to create virtual heating systems. Such technologies meet the requirements of the European Union for candidate countries to join the Union and open the possibility of financing projects related to the restoration of the energy system of Ukraine based on renewable sources and advanced energy-efficient technologies. The proposed scheme for obtaining liquid air and placing cryogenic equipment allows us to talk about the creation of a new sector of cryogenic energy in Ukraine. Bibl. 14, Fig. 2, Tab. 2.
