- energy island, energy storage by pumping water out of the lagoon,
when more power is needed, open the spigot!!

Power storage is a critical challenge for adoption of intermittent renewable power sources and also for being able to help shift base load to peak load requirements. There are many approaches being pursued, but the Energy Island, conceived for off the coast of the Netherlands, is an extremely innovative concept.
The Energy Island
incorporates a new concept in pumped hydro storage -- an inverse offshore pump accumulation station (IOPAC).
On the Energy Island when there is a surplus of wind energy, the excess energy is used to pump seawater out of the interior "subsurface-lake" into the surrounding sea. When there is a shortage of wind power, seawater is allowed to flow back into the interior "lake" through commercially available generators to produce energy.

Interesting idea for an "energy island" off of the Netherlands. Excess Power produced by windfarms is stored by pumping seawater into and out of a lagoon.

- how could they get teh energy to land after they produce it?
