''Bugs'' to boost solar energy storage
The idea is to stimulate particular microorganisms in the soil by using buried electrodes to receive electricity from solar panels.
Batteries can take that excess electricity and store it until such time as it can be put to work. But there are other ways of storing electricity that rely on potential energy. An example of potential energy is a freight train parked at the top of a mountain.
But there are other ways of storing electricity that rely on potential energy. An example of potential energy is a freight train parked at the top of a mountain. If there are generators connected to its wheels, they can create electricity as the train rolls downhill.
Unlike battery energy storage, the energy storage medium of UGES is sand, which means the self-discharge rate of the system is zero, enabling ultra-long energy storage times. Furthermore, the use of sand as storage media alleviates any risk for contaminating underground water resources as opposed to an underground pumped hydro storage alternative.
The proposed technology, called Underground Gravity Energy Storage (UGES), can discharge electricity by lowering large volumes of sand into an underground mine through the mine shaft.
Hydrogen storage in deep underground salt caverns has been tested abroad and provides a new means of large-scale hydrogen energy storage. As so-called “industrial blood,” petroleum plays an important role in the world's energy consumption.
Based on the analysis of the background, types and status, and the study of the key theoretical and technical problems of deep underground energy storage in China, we make the following conclusions: (1) The use of deep underground spaces for energy storage is an important direction for future energy reserve maintenance.
