Salt Dome Energy Storage Explained | Cavern Energy Storage Systems | Animation by I3D

Описание: This animated explainer video on energy storage was produced by Industrial3D for Cavern Energy Storage.

Solar and wind energy are weather-dependent energy sources and, therefore, are out of sync with consumer demand, driving the need for more energy storage. DOE has estimated that America needs 1000 gigawatts of energy storage. This animation explains the current energy storage systems used and how much energy storage they can produce.

This animation makes the case for salt dome energy storage. Areas generally flat, such as Texas, Louisiana, and the Gulf Shore system, have underground salt domes. Salt domes are massive underground formations of salt that people have been drilling into to mine out the salt, creating massive storage caverns.

Certain industries are already using salt dome caverns to store various fuels. Cavern Energy Storage plans to use salt dome caverns as the upper and lower reservoirs for underground pump storage hydroelectricity. The system works exactly like a hydroelectric facility, except most of it is underground. This animation explains how it works.

A small commercial unit would be able to store over a gigawatt-hour of electricity and only occupy 90 acres of the salt dome and less than 10% of its surface area, leaving the land open for other uses. Underground pump storage hydroelectricity can provide large-scale energy storage for the Gulf Coast region and other parts of the world where salt domes are found. Cavern Energy Storage is working to provide the energy storage system for tomorrow.
