Pumped hydro forms the largest percentage of energy storage in the world. Traditionally needing large elevations and huge reservoirs - finding locations suitable for pumped hydro projects is often limited. High-Density Hydro is taking the premise of pumped hydro, removing those barriers and doubling the output.
In todays episode, Quentin sits down with Lizzi Gold - Business Development Manager at RheEnergise, over the course of the conversation they discuss:
- RheEnergise’s mission and what sets them apart from traditional pumped hydro?
- The science behind high-density fluid and how that effects efficiency and output.
- The obstacles faced when working with a fluid that is 2.5 x denser than water.
- Where high-density hydro projects are applicable and the duration they can provide.
