With our proprietary Offshore Energy Storage Solution
store energy where it is produced,
deliver it when needed.
FLASC HPES (Hydro-Pneumatic Energy Storage) is a proprietary offshore energy storage solution.
Designed specifically for offshore applications: safe, reliable and cost-effective.
Designed specifically for offshore applications: safe, reliable and cost-effective.
FLASC HPES stores energy using pressurised seawater and compressed air.
combining patented innovations.
Pneumatic Pre-Charging
- 100x Higher Energy Density: a scalable solution with a compact offshore foot-print (100 times smaller than the competition) and a significantly lower capital cost.
The Ocean as a Natural Heatsink
- 70-75% High Round-Trip Efficiency: without the additional cost and complexity of active thermal management systems implies that our end clients can extract 10-15% more value from each system.
HPES is the first solution tailored for
co-location of large-scale energy storage with offshore wind
Hydro-Pneumatic Energy Storage by FLASC will boost the growth and profitability of this critical clean energy source.
