Norwegian researchers have demonstrated an ingenious underwater energy storage system that uses the immense pressure of the deep sea to deliver electricity on demand. This novel approach offers a sustainable alternative to conventional batteries for coastal and island grids. After research and development, it was tested on a model scale in November 2016. It is designed to link in well with offshore wind platforms and their issues. . If Germany's Fraunhofer Institute for Energy Economics and Energy System Technology (IEE) has its way, it could soon turn the ocean floor into a giant battery — one concrete sphere at a time. The institute's Stored Energy in the Sea (StEnSea) project is working on deploying ocean floor-anchored. . The technology, known as pumped-storage hydropower, or “pumped hydro” for short, has been around for over a century. After a successful field test with a smaller model in Lake Constance, the researchers. .
