Abstract

A hydro-air storage system for generating electricity in which a subterranean reservoir containing water is pressurized and the water is pumped to a surface reservoir during periods when the demand for electricity is low and in which water from the surface reservoir flowing into the subterranean reservoir and compressed air released from the subterranean reservoir are both utilized to generate electricity during periods when the demand for electricity is high.
