An economic large scale energy storage solution for intermittent renewables
Leverages existing natural gas storage and transportation networks for minimum cost
Compatible with Clean Peak Standards
Simultaneously addresses need for electricity and natural gas on peak demand
Technology
Electricity and gas Price data is analyzed in real time.
In off-peak periods, as prices drop, electrical energy is transformed to potential energy by compressing natural gas, which is stored at a higher pressure inside a pipeline, underground reservoir or vessel.

Adapting existing facilities
Natural gas compression facilities can be adapted at minimum cost by automatic timing of compression rates to electrical demand cycles.
City gate pressure let-down and CNG daughter facilities can be adapted by installing expanders to generate electricity.
