HYDROSTORAGE SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC F03B3/04 F03B13/00 F03B13/06 

FIELD: machine engineering.

SUBSTANCE: hydrostorage system includes working mechanisms that transform movements of various nature into operation of individual high pressure pumps pumping water from natural reservoir into impoundment at a level higher than the level of the natural reservoir, as well as a device for converting pressure of water flowing via water pipeline from the impoundment into consumption energy for production of useful work. The system is equipped with tanks placed on the bottom of the impoundment and communicated with pumps that are capable of pumping high pressure water into said tanks and which are equipped with pressure accumulators to normalize the pressure therein and a buffer tank at the bottom of the water pipeline located below the impoundment and above the level of natural reservoir and equipped with pressure accumulators to protect water pipeline and working mechanisms for pressure take-off from the hydralic impact.

EFFECT: increased operational reliability and energy efficiency.
