Power storage and regeneration, a method of storing potential energy on a large scale. By using stored water, in a closed circuit power regenerating system. This system will be comprised of a multiple level facility with multiple turbine generators. This system is designed to generate power, but its function in today's new up and coming power grid (wind, solar, ect.) will be to store power so that it can be regenerated and used in a smooth even and controllable rate, during high and low load demand times. This system is not meant to function on its own, it is meant as a storage facility. So power must be put in to the system to keep it functional. Water must be pumped, transported or evaporated to return it to surface. Today's mining industry has provided us with the infrastructure to build this type of facility at low cost. Using old mine sites is a means to an end, the infrastructure is there. The major benefits from using old and existing mine infrastructure is lower cost facilities where available, speed in which they can be developed, will allow mining industry to offset development costs and increase mine able reserves, due to offset mining costs. The goal is to run these facilities in all cities to reduce energy consumption, energy costs, store power, regenerate power and provide support to clean energy projects. Although the cost of infrastructure will be more comprehensive due to a lack of mine shafts, ramps and open pits in the vicinity of most major cities. |
