ABSTRACT:
A power plant that is used for storing energy during a low demand and returning the energy to a power plant during high or peak demand. A concrete tank is placed on the bottom of a deep body of water. A compressed air line connects the tank to a compressor and turbine assembly on land at the power plant. An electric motor drives the compressor to supply compressed air to the tank and displace the water within the tank during the low demand period. At high demand, the compressed air is allowed to flow through the turbine that drives an electric generator to produce electric power. The tank includes a water outlet pipe for the tank is displaced of the high pressure water and to allow the water to flow into the tank and displace the compressed air under high pressure to drive the turbine.
