Inflatable underwater containment facilitates highly efficient storage of offshore wind, tidal and wave power as compressed air (> 30 MJ/m3 at 700 m depth). Attached to the seabed, the inflated vessels would expel the depth-pressurized air to power turbines generating electricity during periods of high demand or intermittency of supply. Thin Red Line Aerospace is supporting Prof. Seamus Garvey’s visionary ICARES Project at University of Nottingham, UK, with design and fabrication of undersea vessels to 50 m3. Project efforts include concept development for volumes to 6000 m3.
