The latest research shows that rocks on the seabed off the coast of Britain may provide long-term storage for renewable energy production. Using the electricity generated by renewable technology, an advanced technology can store compressed air in the porous rock layers discovered in the North Sea. After that, compressed air can be released and drive the turbine to generate a lot of electrical energy. The study found that large-scale use of this technology can store enough compressed air to meet the UK's winter electricity needs. This approach can help provide a stable and reliable supply of renewable energy — such as wind and tidal turbines — and help limit global temperature increases caused by climate change. However, the energy production generated by many renewable energy technologies depends on weather conditions. Researchers say a new process is needed that can store energy at a time cheaply and reliably for several months. Engineers and geoscientists from the University of Edinburgh and the University of Strathclyde used mathematical models to evaluate the potential of this process, which is called compressed air storage (CAES). The team then combined these estimates with the North Sea geological structure database to predict the UK's energy storage. They found that the UK's underwater porous rock has 1.5 times the normal electricity demand in January and February. The working principle of compressed air energy storage is to use the power of renewable energy to provide power for the engine that produces compressed air. By drilling a deep well in the rock, this air will be stored in the pores of the sandstone under high pressure. When energy is in short supply, the compressed air in the well is released to power the turbines, and then the electricity is sent to the grid. Some locations in Germany and the United States have adopted similar methods to store air in deep salt caves. The team said that positioning the drilling near renewable energy sources (such as offshore wind turbines) will increase drilling efficiency, reduce costs, and reduce the number of submarine cables required. The research was published in the journal Natural Energy. It is funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, the Scottish Funding Council and the Energy Technology Partnership. Dr. Julien Mouli-Castillo of the School of Earth Sciences at the University of Edinburgh led the study. He said: "This method can store renewable energy generated in the summer for cold winter nights." It can provide a viable, although more expensive Options to compensate for seasonal fluctuations in the UK ’s renewable electricity supply. More research can help improve this process and further reduce costs.
