Patent application requirements for underwater energy storage systems

What is underwater compressed energy storage?

Underwater compressed energy storage is similar to CAES, with the major difference being that the air is compressed in a container located underwater. Several approaches to UWCAES are under development including the utilization of distensible air container also referred to as an Energy Bag , .

What is buoyancy battery underwater energy storage?

Buoyancy battery underwater energy storage is an emerging area of research relating to the storage of energy generated by renewable resources such as offshore wind and solar. This study presents an experimental analysis of a basic buoyancy system.

What is offshore energy storage?

ORES (Ocean Renewable Energy Storage) is another approach to offshore energy storage which utilizes large concrete spherical structures mounted to waterbed , . Water is pumped from these large containers during charge phase and is allowed to reenter the container through a turbine on discharge phase.
