Abstract
The offshore renewable energy market is rapidly growing, particularly in wind and solar sectors. The intermittent nature of these energy sources underscores the necessity for offshore energy storage solutions. Among the techniques being explored, Marine Pumped Hydro-Energy Storage (MPHES) emerges as a promising option. This innovative concept operates similarly to artificial lakes, where water is stored and released to generate electricity. In the MPHES system, a seabed-based reservoir is established, in which water flows, driving turbines to generate electricity. During periods of energy surplus, the system is charged by pumping water out of the reservoir...
