Abstract

DESLOCAMENTO DE FLUIDO DE DENSIDADE DE FLUXO PARA ARMAZENAR OU GERAR ENERGIA. O presente Pedido refere-se a sistemas e métodos para armazenar e gerar energia. Em uma modalidade, o sistema pertence a um primeiro reservatório de armazenamento próximo à superfície de um corpo de água e configurado para armazenar um primeiro fluido. Um segundo reservatório de armazenamento está localizado abaixo da superfície do corpo de água e configurado para armazenar um segundo fluido que tem uma densidade maior do que o primeiro fluido. Uma bomba, gerador e o primeiro e segundo reservatórios são conectados operacionalmente de modo que a energia seja armazenada deslocando o fluido de densidade mais alta no segundo reservatório de armazenamento bombeando o fluido de densidade mais baixa no primeiro reservatório de armazenamento para o segundo reservatório de armazenamento. A energia é gerada ou descarregada permitindo que o fluido que tem uma densidade mais baixa no segundo reservatório de armazenamento retorne ao primeiro reservatório de armazenamento. O fluido de maior densidade pode estar na forma líquida ou na forma de mistura sólido-líquido. O fluido de menor densidade pode estar na forma líquida ou na forma de mistura sólido-líquido.FLOW DENSITY FLUID DISPLACEMENT TO STORE OR GENERATE ENERGY. This Application relates to systems and methods for storing and generating energy. In one embodiment, the system pertains to a first storage vessel close to the surface of a body of water and configured to store a first fluid. A second storage reservoir is located below the surface of the body of water and configured to store a second fluid having a greater density than the first fluid. A pump, generator and the first and second reservoirs are operatively connected so that energy is stored by displacing the higher density fluid in the second storage reservoir and pumping the lower density fluid in the first storage reservoir to the second storage reservoir. . Power is generated or discharged by allowing the fluid having a lower density in the second storage vessel to return to the first storage vessel. The higher density fluid can be in liquid form or in solid-liquid mixture form. The lower density fluid can be in liquid form or in solid-liquid mixture form.
