Magnum Development (MHPS) and Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems have announced plans to build a 1 GW energy storage plant in Utah. The facility, known as the Advanced Clean Energy Storage project, will be a one-of-a-kind installation combining salt cavern-based compressed air storage with renewable hydrogen storage, flow batteries and solid-oxide fuel cells. The device uses excess grid power to compresses gas into an enclosed space. The energy can then be released to generate power via a turbine.
