As the global share of electricity generation from intermittent renewable energy sources increases, developing efficient and scalable electricity storage technologies becomes critical to modernizing the grid, matching the supply and demand, and raising the capacity factor of renewable generation. The Ground-Level Integrated Diverse Energy Storage (GLIDES) is an efficient energy storage technology invented at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). GLIDES stores energy by compressing gas using a liquid piston in pressure vessels benefiting from employing hydraulic turbomachinery which are more efficient than gas turbomachinery. Therefore, GLIDES has higher round-trip efficiency (RTE) than Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES). Since GLIDES employs …

Masters Theses
Proposing experimental investigation of spray cooling/heating of a near-isothermal, scalable, efficient, high density, hydro-pneumatic integrated energy storage system; capable of spray cooling/heating during gas compression/expansion and capable of excess heat integration. The invented Ground-Level Integrated Diverse Energy Storage (GLIDES) is an energy storage technology capable of storing energy in high-pressure vessel using hydro-pneumatic concept. Indicated roundtrip efficiencies of 98% can be reached using the proposed technology marking an isothermal compression/expansion energy storage.
