This paper proposes a methodology to evaluate the economic viability of liquid air energy storage based on price arbitrage operations in the GB real-time electricity market. The arbitrage algorithm designed in this article determines price thresholds every half hour under different operation strategies and according to which, decisions are made for the system to charge, discharge or stand by, and the optimal design of the size of different components for the system are also evaluated.
