The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to Quidnet Energy to design, fabricate, and test an injector-generator system for a novel geomechanical pumped storage (GMS) application. The injector-generator system would be designed to pump water into a storage well and generate electricity from the pumped water, in a manner similar to traditional hydro pumped storage systems. A prototype device, the Injector-Generator (INGEN), would be fabricated and assessed for durability/performance. Testing of the INGEN device would be performed in a laboratory setting.
