The University of Malta has developed and patented a Hydro-Pneumatic Energy Storage (HPES) solution, known as the Floating Liquid Piston Accumulator using Seawater Under Compression (FLASC
FLASC has developed a proprietary Hydro-Pneumatic Energy Storage (HPES) technology, designed to work seamlessly with offshore renewables to enable a stable and reliable supply of clean energy. This patented technology has been internationally recognised and is uniquely positioned in the offshore energy market. The company was recently selected
The initial results showed that using the FLASC energy storage system significantly reduced the number of electrolyser shutdowns and start-ups when compared to a direct feed of wind energy supplies, as shown in Figure 2. Moreover, the improved electrolyser utilisation rates were even more evident in a Mediterranean wind climate.
Subsea 7 and technology partner FLASC B.V., have been awarded a grant from the UK government Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) for £471 760, to further develop an offshore energy storage system. Funding has been awarded as part of the Longer Duration Energy Storage (LODES) Competition.
The MUSICA project is developing a replicable smart Multi-usage of Space (MUS) platform for the concurrent use of three types of renewable energy – wind, PV and wave – at small islands.. This will offer a one-stop decarbonisation facility for the islands, and includes a small-scale demonstration of the FLASC Hydro-Pneumatic Energy Storage system.
In 2016, the University of Malta hosted at the University Valletta Campus the Offshore Energy and Storage Symposium (OSES2016), an international event focusing on marine-based renewable energy generation and
Offshore storage of energy on the generation side, combined with onshore storage assets on the consumer side will maximise the value of the offshore resource and transmission

October 6, 2020. FLASC B.V., which is pioneering the development of non-battery based energy storage solutions for the offshore sector, has established a collaboration agreement with Subsea 7, a global leader in the delivery of offshore projects and services for the energy industry. FLASC''s unique, patented Hydro-Pneumatic Energy Storage
If there is no immediate demand it is wasted. The Floating Liquid-piston Accumulator using Seawater under Compression (FLASC) project which is an energy storage technology tailored for the offshore environment is a solution to this problem. Developed by the University of Malta and Medserv plc, a local oil & gas logistics
The results of the simulations show that the FLASC energy storage system provides a stabilized, yet green power supply. Short-term fluctuations of the power input to the electrolyser can be avoided.
FLASC is the leading utility-scale solution suitable for projects requiring co-location of offshore energy production and energy storage. 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

Batteries are the key to the future of renewable energy. We all know that in order for intermittent renewables like solar and wind to be useful, we need energy storage to make them work over long periods of time. Lithium-ion batteries come to mind, but they''re still too expensive for truly long-term storage. Pumped hydro.
