6 FAQs about [Ocean energy storage]

Are deep ocean gravitational energy storage technologies useful?

The paper shows that deep ocean gravitational energy storage technologies are particularly interesting for storing energy for offshore wind power, on coasts and islands without mountains, and as an effective approach for compressing hydrogen.

What is a buoyancy energy storage system?

A buoyancy energy storage system is a system that stores energy in weekly cycles in synchrony with a battery system storing energy in daily cycles, or to compress hydrogen in an efficient way. The design of the buoyancy storage recipient must consider the high underwater pressures.

Is there an underwater gravity energy storage system?

Currently, no commercial-scale underwater gravity energy storage systems have been developed. While some theoretical work and small lab-scale experiments have been conducted, such as by Alami et al. using conical-shaped buoys, no large-scale systems exist.

What is the energy storage cost?

The cost of BEST varies between 4 and 8 million USD/MW of installed capacity, and 50–100USD /MWh of energy storage cost, with projects varying in sizes of 10 to 100 MW.

Can buoyancy energy storage technology (best) fill the energy gap?

BEST can fill the gap of affordable weekly energy storage in the ocean, coastal areas, or islands without mountains. There is currently no viable technology in the market that offers this.

Why is depth important for Buoyancy Energy Storage Technology?

The greater the depth of the ocean, the lower the cost of the project. Most areas with depths suitable to low-cost BEST are not well suited to offshore wind, as the costs to anchor offshore wind turbines with depths above 1000 m are still prohibitive.
