PURPOSE:To facilitate having the captioned device installed in a place near the power consuming area by forming it in such a manner that the power is used to operate a gas pressurizing means, and the pressurized air generated is stored in a flexible bag placed under water, and then, the pressurized air is taken out, on occasion, to operate an energy converting means. CONSTITUTION:At the bottom 10 of the water is placed a flexible bag 12, which is fixed against its buoyance with a constraining means. In addition, on the ground is placed a plant 16, which is provided with a pump 20 as an air pressurizing means and a generator 22 as an energy converting means. The plant 16 and the flexible bag 12 are interconnected by means of a flexible piping 18 with each other. And further, during the nighttime or the like where the surplus power is produced, the pump 20 is operated by the use of the power supplied through a transmission line 24 so that the pressurized air is fed into the flexible bag 12, and then, by the expansion of the flexible bag 12, the electrical energy is stored therein as an air-pressure energy. While, during the daytime, a generator 22 is operated by making use of the pressurized air stored in the flexible bag 12, and the generated power is sent out through the transmission line 24.

Pumped storage power generation uses a pair of reservoirs in a mountainous region with a large difference in height, and combines the potential energy of electrical energy and water! A system based on replacement is common. However, this method requires large-scale land acquisition and construction work in a mountainous area, which is economically inefficient, and it also requires construction in a mountainous area away from cities with large electricity demands, which causes problems with transmission equipment and power transmission losses. Problems remain in this respect. Moreover, this energy storage device is suitable for large-scale installations and is unsuitable for small-scale energy storage.
