Evaluating geophysical monitoring strategies for a CO2 storage project

The sequestration and storage of CO 2 in the subsurface is a possible mitigation strategy to reduce the greenhouse gas concentration in the atmosphere. To safely inject CO 2 in subsurface storage units, such as deep saline aquifers or depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs, it is necessary to build mathematical-physical models to predict the dynamic behavior of CO 2

The value of in-reservoir energy storage for flexible dispatch of

The results of the Fenton Hill EGS project demonstrated the potential for in-reservoir energy storage (IRES) in such systems, wherein accumulated geofluid and reservoir pressure are used to shift the output of a geothermal plant from one time to another. Importantly, the ability to store energy in this manner is an inherent property of an EGS

6 FAQs about [Reservoir energy storage project survey]

What are the different types of subsurface energy storage?

Subsurface energy storage options including natural gas storage, compressed air storage, pumped hydroelectric storage, and geothermal storage; each requiring additional geologic investigations and potential future assessments of available storage resources.

How can we calculate energy storage capacity at hydropower reservoirs?

By combining existing inventories of surface water (reservoirs and streamflow) and hydropower infrastructure (dams and power plants), we can calculate nominal energy storage capacity at hydropower reservoirs for the entire US.

How much electricity can a hydropower reservoir store?

IEA estimates for global hydropower reservoir “equivalent electricity storage capabilities” are 1,500 TWh, 176 times the current global pumped-storage capability of 8.5 TWh (IEA, 2021 ).

Why is storage in hydropower reservoirs important?

Storage in hydropower reservoirs is important to the management of both water resources and the electric grid, especially with variable water availability and evolving grid needs.

Can geologic energy storage reduce electricity costs?

An electrical grid that uses long duration energy storage projects with over 100 hours of stored power could result in the greatest reduction in electricity costs (Sepulveda and others, 2021). Geologic energy storage is a practical solution that can store 100 or more hours of energy.

Why do we need more detailed energy storage information?

While more detailed energy storage information is ultimately necessary for decision-making and evaluating possible operational changes, it requires detailed reservoir geometry (e.g., storage-elevation relationships), hydrology (e.g., varying inflows), or operating rules that have not been publicly available for most reservoirs.
