MIT researchers propose subsea version of pumped hydro for renewable energy storage

Green Car Congress

One such 25-meter sphere in 400-meter-deep water could store up to 6 megawatt-hours of power, the MIT researchers have calculated; that means that 1,000 such spheres could supply as much power as a nuclear plant for several hours. The work was supported by a grant from the MIT Energy Initiative. Slocum, A.H.; Fennell, G.E.; Sager, M.A.,
