The invention relates to a
seabed pumped storage
system and a working method and a maintenance method thereof. The
system comprises an
energy storage shell, a low-pressure cavity is formed after
seawater is pumped out of the shell, and
gravitational potential energy is stored through the difference between external
deep sea hydrostatic pressure and internal low pressure; the
energy storage sleeve is detachably connected with the
energy storage shell in a sealed mode through a
flange. A
breather pipe and a water conveying pipeline are integrated in the energy storage sleeve. The deepwater
ball valve, the reversible water pump /
water turbine and the coaxial motor / generator are sequentially arranged from top to bottom in the axial direction of the water conveying pipeline. Under the energy storage working condition, the unit in the energy storage sleeve discharges
seawater in the shell to
deep sea, and energy storage is completed; under the energy release working condition, high-pressure
seawater flows back to drive the
water turbine to generate
electricity. When the
system is maintained, a sea surface work ship vertically pulls the whole set of cylinder to a
deck through a hoisting system,
core component maintenance or whole replacement is completed in a normal pressure environment and then reinstallation is performed, and
deep diving operation is not needed. In-situ large-scale energy storage of the deep and far sea renewable power supply is realized, and the operation and maintenance cost and risk are remarkably reduced.
