Seas: a system for undersea storage of thermal energy

Conference · · Altern. Energy Sources; (United States)
OSTI ID:5320085
Methods of storing medium grade (200 to 275/degree/C) thermal energy are of great economic interest for electric generation and process heat. Storage of water heated by land based energy sources and pumped to ocean or lake depths great enough that the ambient hydrostatic pressure equals the saturation pressure appears to be a low cost, safe, and technically feasible method for storing large volumes of hot water. 4 refs.
