Embodiment Construction

[0042] figure 1 A first embodiment of a system for storing electrical energy in an aqueous environment according to the invention is shown, wherein potential energy is stored by means of a plurality of counterweights 40 which are actuated as they descend towards the bottom 60 of the water Generators to generate electrical energy. This energy is advantageously generated during peak consumption of the mains grid connected to the system of the invention in order to assist the mains energy generating grid.

[0043] The system advantageously includes a large number of counterweights 40, thereby making it possible to generate energy repeatedly (or continuously) over a long period of time.

[0044] The system shown comprises a main buoyancy body 10 capable of housing one or more reversible electric motors 20 substantially at the surface of the water in the aquatic environment in question. The main buoyant body 10 also serves as a support to keep the upper portion of the generator ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a system for storing and generating electric energy for an aquatic medium, which comprises: a plurality of weights (40), each provided with a vessel (41) capable of holding in a substantially hermetically a given amount of air and / or of water and a gripping means (44); a lift-generator (30), arranged such as to engage with the weights (40) and provided such as to enable said weights, in generator mode, to descend to the bottom area (60) and, in motor mode, to rise back up toward the surface (50); a main float (10), capable of supporting the upper portion of the lift-generator (30) at the surface; a reversible motor (20), engaging with the lift-generator (30) and making it possible, in generator mode, to produce electric energy due to the action of the weights (40) during the descent thereof and, in motor mode, to actuate the lift-generator (30) in order to raise the weights (40) back up.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a system for storing and generating electrical energy in an aquatic environment. Background technique [0002] There are many groups working on the energy storage problem. While many solutions have been identified or actually implemented, none of the current solutions have come close to meeting the ever-increasing energy demands as a true breakthrough. [0003] Modern challenges relate to transportation where large amounts of energy need to be stored in order to replace energy from fossil fuels which are polluting and are a finite resource. They also involve domestic and industrial consumption of electricity largely derived from power plants. In this case, one of the most important issues to address concerns peak periods, which last for a relatively limited period but in which consumption reaches very high levels. However, since it is currently not possible to store an amount of energy equal to the difference between...
