FLASC is developing a Hydro-Pneumatic Energy Storage (HPES) system tailored for offshore applications. The objective is to bridge the gap between intermittent renewable energy production and a fluctuating consumer demand. This allows, for example, large offshore wind farms to improve the quality of the power that they provide to consumer grids, and also to supply reliable power to island grids and remote offshore locations, such as oil & gas infrastructure.

Islands are the ideal testbed for identifying, testing and introducing energy innovations. Island communities are resilient by nature therefore more inclined towards introducing systems and solutions that help to protect their community and increase their self-reliance. Clean energy-based microgrids are a way for islands to create a cleaner living environment, reduce dependence on fossil-based fuels and supply chains and reduce the overall cost of energy.
