Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/037681
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The object of the invention is a pumped-storage power plant for pumping fluid between a lower reservoir (12) and an upper reservoir (14). The pumped-storage power plant comprises a pipeline (25) and a power unit (27) for pumping fluid between the lower reservoir (12) and the upper reservoir (14). The space of the lower reservoir (12) containing the fluid to be pumped is connected to the space of the upper reservoir (14) containing the fluid to be pumped by means of the power unit (27) via a pipeline (25) which, in both the lower reservoir (12) and the upper reservoir (14), is submerged into the pumped fluid. In a first embodiment, the pumped-storage power plant further comprises stable reservoirs (12, 14) comprising a base (10), an intermediate piece (13) arranged on the base (10), a lower reservoir (12) arranged on the base (10) or above the base (10) in the space of the intermediate piece (13), and an upper reservoir (14) arranged on the intermediate piece (13). In a second embodiment, the pumped-storage power plant further comprises a floating reservoir (6) arranged in the fluid in the base reservoir (1). This floating reservoir (6) comprises, in one embodiment, a float (11), an intermediate piece (13) arranged on the float (11) and an upper reservoir (14) arranged on the intermediate piece (13), the base reservoir (1) being the lower reservoir (12). This floating reservoir (6) comprises, in another embodiment, a lower reservoir (12) and an upper reservoir (14), wherein the pipelines (25) with the power unit (27) are arranged for directly transferring fluid from the upper reservoir (14) to the lower reservoir (12) and for directly pumping fluid from the lower reservoir (12) to the upper reservoir (14).
