Installation comprising lng and renewable electricity facilities with at least one thermal energy storage system

An installation comprising an LNG production facility adapted for producing liquefied natural gas from a feed gas containing methane, and a renewable electricity facility adapted for producing renewable electricity, the LNG production facility comprising:

• a plurality of units including a precooling unit, and a liquefaction unit, and
• at least one thermal energy storage system adapted for storing electricity as thermal energy, and for converting at least part of the stored thermal energy into electricity, heat or cold,
• wherein the installation is adapted for switching at least between a charge configuration, in which the renewable electricity facility produces said renewable electricity, at least a fraction of said renewable electricity is stored in the thermal energy storage system as thermal energy and at least another fraction is supplied to one or several of the units, and a discharge configuration, in which the thermal energy storage system converts at least part of the stored thermal energy into at least one of said electricity, said heat and said cold and said at least one of said electricity, said heat and said cold is supplied to one or several of the units.
