[0021] A liquid air energy storage power generation method based on packed bed cascade cold storage, the method is implemented based on the above-mentioned liquid air energy storage power generation device based on packed bed cascade cold storage, comprising: Liquid air flows out from the liquid air storage tank 101, and the low-temperature pump 102 pressurizes and provides circulation power.
