A promising new energy storage technology that is fit for maritime mechanical storage of off-peak supply of wind farms capitalizes on the work of a buoyancy force applied on a float.

Implementing energy storage solutions is crucial to address the intermittency challenges of marine renewable energy. Buoyancy energy storage technology (BEST) holds potential, but its development remains in its infancy. Additionally, optimisation has not been implemented to improve the design.
The proposed Buoyancy Energy Storage Technology (BEST) solution offers three main energy storage services. Firstly, BEST provisions weekly energy storage with low costs (50 to 100 USD/MWh), which is particularly interesting for storing offshore wind energy. Secondly, BEST can be used to increase the efficiency of hydrogen compression up to 90%.

The ocean has large depths where potential energy can be stored in gravitational based energy storage systems. The deeper the system, the greater the amount of stored energy.

The niche for the operation of the system is to store energy in weekly cycles in synchrony with a battery system storing energy in daily cycles, or to compress hydrogen in an efficient way. The design of the buoyancy storage recipient must consider the high underwater pressures.
There is currently no viable technology in the market that offers affordable weekly energy storage in the ocean, coastal areas, or islands without mountains. This paper argues that this gap can be filled with Buoyancy Energy Storage Technology (BEST).
This is a major motivation to utilize buoyancy forces and the work resulting from their linear motion (remember that work [J] = force × distance) in energy storage applications. A free-body diagram of a generic buoy geometry is shown in Fig. 8.3. The buoy is selected as a streamlined truncated cone to reduce drag forces during operation.
This reduces the skin friction component of the experimental drag coefficient. A maximum theoretical efficiency value for the discharge of the buoyancy system is found to be around 36% at the terminal ascension velocity of 1.5 m/s. Of course, these results are for a small-scale experimental system where the depths could reach few tens of meters.
