Abstract

The Ocean Grazer battery is a novel design to store energy for supply at desired moments. The battery consists of three components which are a rigid reservoir buried beneath the seabed, a flexible bladder floating above the seabed and engine room which connects the two of them. The base principle entails that if the energy supply exceeds the energy demand, the abundant energy is used to pump a working fluid from the rigid reservoir to the flexible bladder. Due to the depth of the rigid reservoir, a pressure head arises which is used to let the working fluid flow back from the flexible bladder to the rigid reservoir at desired moments. During this back-flow the working fluid passes a turbine and energy is regenerated. This research focuses on the design of the flexible bladder component of the battery.
