Abrégé

The invention relates to an underwater energy storage system interconnected to a thermal storage system positioned on land. The invention also relates to an underwater energy storage system interconnected to a thermal storage system that harvest heat from self-generating sources and/or from external sources (like the environment, external factories, nuclear plants, etc.). The invention also relates to an underwater energy storage system interconnected to a thermal storage system that utilizes the same storage tanks for storing, at one time hot water, at another time cold water. In some embodiments, there is at least one storage tank that remains empty. The invention also relates to a thermal storage system that utilizes the same storage tanks for storing, at one time hot water, at another time cold water.

Abrégé

An underwater energy storage system includes a tank for storing a compressed gas that is adapted to be stored underwater. The tank includes at least one water opening through which water from surrounding environment can flow into and out of the tank, and at least one gas opening through which the compressed gas is received. The underwater energy storage system further includes at least one duct communicating between the at least one opening for gas flow and a source of compressed gas and a compartment constructed over a roof of the tank, wherein said compartment is adapted for receiving weights at a sinking site of the tank.
