Energy storage in underground coal mines in NW Spain:
1. Introduction. In 2015, the world total primary energy supply was 13,647 Mtoe, of which 13.4 Mtoe was from renewable energy sources. Since 1990, renewable electricity generation worldwide grew on average by 3.6% per annum, which is slightly faster than the total electricity generation growth rate (2.9%) [1].So, whilst 19.4% of the global
Compressed Air Energy Storage in Underground Formations
