Abstract

Highlights: Development and testing of a novel pumped storage concept for storing large amounts of electrical. Energy offshore. Description of the concept and overview of possible installation sites for full-scale commercial system. Construction and further technical aspects of the prototype testing of a 1:10 scale model. Abstract: The paper presents the interim results of the StEnSea project, which comprises the development and testing of a novel pumped hydro storage concept for storing large amounts of electrical energy offshore. The following paragraphs introduce into the general description of the concept and give an overview of possible installation sites for full-scale commercial systems. Additionally, the building and further preparations of the prototype testing of a 1:10 scale model are described.
