RASMAG
Overview
Large pressure differences exist between isolated rock layers or zones that are saturated with water, e.g. 400 atmospheres vs. 200 atmospheres. When RASMAG connects those two isolated zones, water flows extremely quickly from the higher pressured zone to the lower pressured zone. This high speed powers turbines very efficiently and the electricity generated is sent to surface by cable. Then, when there’s a surplus of electricity at surface, for example from wind or solar, they send it down hole by electric cable again. That electricity powers a pump that re-establishes the pressure difference between the two zones, recharging the system for future electricity generation.
