Could A Highview Power CRYOBattery Be Mounted On An Offshore Platform?

In the early days of North Sea Oil and Gas, I was asked to help two Cambridge University engineering professors, with the mathematics and some of the problems, they were having with a revolutionary design of oil or gas platform.

I was convinced it would have worked, but sadly they were unable to sell the design to even a single customer and the company folded.

I have been following a company called Highview power and their CRYOBatteries, which store electricity as liquid air.

I just wonder, if the Cambridge design could be adapted to hold say a 50MW/300 MWh CRYOBattery, which could then be erected alongside the wind turbines in a wind farm.

This battery would then smooth the output of the wind farm.
