Energy storage in aquifers
TLDR
In this article, economic and energy-saving aspects of selected combinations of sources, storage media, and uses are ranked with respect to various selection criteria, including energy efficiency and energy saving.Abstract:
Economic and engineering evaluations of energy-storage potential in certain USA aquifers are being conducted Particularly detailed evaluations have been made for compressed air energy storage (CAES), using off-peak power from nearby nuclear power stations In current studies, we are examining thermal energy storage and utilization prospects, using solar power or, alternatively, off-peak, low-cost nuclear power as the heat source Economic and energy-saving aspects of selected combinations of sources, storage media, and uses are ranked with respect to various selection criteriaread more

Groundwater and aquifers; an overview of ‘exotic’ uses
K. J. Edworthy,S. Puri +1 more
TL;DR: There is a range of uses for groundwater and aquifers, mostly non-water supply uses, which have been termed ‘exotic’ as discussed by the authors, which can be categorized into four distinct fields: fluid storage and waste disposal, including deep-well injection; energy conservation, including storage of fossil fuel-generated energy (as heat or pressure) and the extraction of solar energy from groundwater; subsurface in situ leaching of economic minerals; and groundwater quality management.

The Geology, Historical Background, and Developments in<scp>CAES</scp>
TL;DR: In this paper , the development and increasing integration of inherently intermittent renewable energy sources into the electricity grid means that CAES is once again being considered to provide rapid response, bulk energy storage, load-levelling and grid-scale support.
