Israel’s Arothron has developed underwater compressed air energy storage (UWCAES) systems to handle the problem of where to store excess power during low usage periods (e.g. at night). It also deals with energy demands at night when solar energy production … Continue reading →

Israel’s Windstore has developed a system that stores the energy generated by a wind turbine as compressed air within the actual wind mast at low cost. It means many previously uneconomic wind farms are now viable and can compete with … Continue reading →

Israel’s BaroMar has developed an underwater solution for storing wind and solar power in the form of compressed air at depths of 200 – 700 meters. It claims to be the most sustainable energy storage solution, with a neutral carbon … Continue reading →

Israel’s Energy Minister Karin Elharrar visited Ashdod port to see the energy storage system developed by Israel’s Storage Drop (see here previously). It is the world’s first solar energy system to compress air to 80 bars (1 bar = atmospheric … Continue reading →

Israel’s Augwind (see here previously) has signed an $8 million agreement with the Israel Electricity Corporation to build a 40-megawatt hours AirBattery (the world’s first) to store solar or wind energy as compressed air (see here also). See videos for … Continue reading →

Israel’s Storage Drop has developed “Hydrop” – a system designed to store renewable energy (e.g. solar) as high-pressure air when the demand for electricity is low, and to convert the compressed air into electrical energy when required. The system is … Continue reading →

Israel’s Augwind has won an Israeli government tender to build Israel’s first battery using compressed air technology, to store renewable energy and generate electricity when required. Augwind and France’s EDF will build and operate a power plant and storage system … Continue reading →
