April 11, 2022, 1:46 a.m. Updated 35 {"title": ["", "High Density Hydro [HDHydro] R&D developing new IP"], "description": ["", "\nThe project is designed to rebuild and catch-up the companies R&D activities, following C-19\\. To grow the business creating jobs across engineering, manufacturing, construction. RheEnergise offers an opportunity for significant UK exports (licenced revenues and manufacture equipment).\n\nHigh-Density-Hydro \\[HDHydro\\]: An electro-mechanical energy-storage solution that builds upon traditional pumped-hydro. Traditional pumped-hydro provides levelised costs of energy-storage significantly below (<50% lower) competing energy-storage technologies \\[batteries\\]. However projects take decades to complete. Traditional pumped-hydro uses low-cost electricity to pump huge volumes of water up mountains into a reservoir. As prices rise the water is released through turbines regenerating electricity to the national-grid. Projects need huge water volumes, mountains \\[often remote/ protected areas\\] and large-scale grid infrastructure, creating social and environmental concerns.\n\nHDHydro is different. RheEnergise has developed a new high-density, low-viscosity, environmentally-benign fluid (Rhe1809) with 2.5x the density of water. This means (if everything else stayed the same) RheEnergise projects provide 2.5x the power \\[MW\\] or 2.5x the energy \\[MWh\\] compared to water. It means projects are smaller (2.5x smaller volumetrically), built on low hills (2.5x lower) rather than mountains, connected to the existing distribution grid. As traditional pumped-hydro projects costs are ~65% civil engineering costs, a 60% saving in construction volumes is significant. Projects are physically similar in size as competing flexibility technologies (batteries, gas-peaking) and can be consented/ constructed in a similar 24-30 months. Lastly, levelised costs are comparable with traditional pumped-hydro (50% below batteries).\n\nThis project is an R&D catch-up project investigating those areas that have been adversely affected by C-19\\. Five R&D areas:\n\n1\\. Fully characterise the environmentally benign high-density low-viscosity fluids rheology\n\n2\\. To optimise reversible-pump-turbine mechanical efficiency for the fluid\n\n3\\. To build a physical test-rig for seals design and seal arrangements for the fluid\n\n4\\. Physical Wear/ Abrasion tests to help system and sub-system specification\n\n5: A supply and logistics study (costs and environmental) for the fluid raw materials.\n\nEnergy-storage projects commercial viability depend on several factors that inform levelised-costs: Capital-cost; Operational-costs; Round-trip efficiencies. This project addresses and improves upon each and in addition seeks to better understand Rheenergise's supply chain environmental footprint.\n\n"], "extra_text": ["", "\n\n\n\n"], "status": ["", "Closed"]}
