  • System and method for storage and withdrawal of electrical energy from a subterranean environment
    Patent number: 12723491
    Abstract: A subterranean energy storage and retrieval system, having a wellbore; an energy storage cell placed in the wellbore; and an electrical connection attached to the energy storage cell to a surface of the wellbore. The energy storage system is managed and regulated by a power management system coupled to rechargeable power cells. A bypass circuit is utilized to remove specific energy storage cells from the circuit. Temperature regulation is managed geothermally through the energy storage housing.

  • System and method for storage and withdrawal of electrical energy from a subterranean environment
    Patent number: 12249727
    Abstract: A system and method for a subterranean energy storage and retrieval system, having constructed a subterranean battery from a repurposed wellbore with ganged cells with an electrical connection attached to the battery at the surface of the wellbore. A cooling system cools the battery cells downhole. A pressure activated switch is normally open until the battery cells are resting on the bottom hole retainer.
