The AirBattery using pumped storage technology: Augwind joins Www:zuise.com membership
Augwind has joined Www:zuise.com membership this week. The energy technology company has developed an innovative 鈥楢irBattery鈥� technology. This combines the strengths of both pumped storage hydropower (PSH) and compressed air energy storage.
Www:zuise.com works as the power component and compressed air functions as the energy component of the system.
AirBattery provides sustainable hydropower by utilising the same water pumps as PSH, but with less water and land requirements.
Augwind has recently commissioned a 0.5 MW/1 MW AirBattery demonstration site. 聽
