Abstract
Over the last decades, many new renewable energy sources have been developed. The fluctuations of wind and solar resources have posed a great challenge to produce a reliable supply of power. In order for renewable energy to completely replace fossil energy, stable supply is required. Intermediate energy storage can help to reduce fluctuations in power generation by these renewable sources. The Ocean Battery, developed by the Ocean Grazer BV, offers a possibility to store renewable energy at the bottom of the ocean. To store potential energy, the system pumps fresh water into flexible bladders that are deflated by the pressure of the water column above. Like in any other storage system energy is lost in the process. This research delivers more insight into these losses and shows the round trip energy efficiency of the Ocean Battery.
