1. An energy-accumulation apparatus, comprising:
an accumulator body assembly defining a pneumatically-pressurizable chamber being configured to receive air pressure, and the accumulator body assembly being positioned in a body of water at a position being spaced apart from a shore; and a pneumatic-pressure source being positioned on the shore and being located away from the body of water, and the pneumatic-pressure source includes a pressurized air system, and the pneumatic-pressure source being configured to generate air pressure, and the pressurized air system of the pneumatic-pressure source being configured to convey pressurized air to the pneumatically-pressurizable chamber of the accumulator body assembly, and the pneumatically-pressurizable chamber of the pneumatic-pressure source being configured to fill, at least in part, the energy-accumulation apparatus with pneumatically-pressurized air; and an air-feeder line providing an air-feeder passageway being configured to communicate with the pneumatically-pressurizable chamber of the accumulator body assembly in such a way that pressurized air communicates between the pneumatically-pressurizable chamber and the pressurized air system of the pneumatic-pressure source; and an electric generator being positioned on the shore and being located away from the body of water, and the electric generator being configured to generate electricity using the pneumatically pressurized air being released from the pneumatically-pressurizable chamber of the accumulator body assembly in such a way that the electric generator generates electricity to be provided to an electric grid; and an outer surface extending from the accumulator body assembly, and the outer surface securely contacting a sloped floor zone of the body of water at a position being spaced apart from the shore; and an on-shore anchor being positioned on the shore and being spaced apart from the body of water; and a shore connection including a tension line being anchored into and being fixedly connected to the on-shore anchor, and the shore connection connecting the accumulator body assembly to the on-shore anchor, and the shore connection being configured to keep the air-feeder line from floating to the surface of the body of water; and the shore connection and the on-shore anchor preventing the accumulator body assembly from sliding down the sloped floor zone, and the shore connection and the on-shore anchor keeping the accumulator body assembly stabilized in position on the sloped floor zone, and the accumulator body assembly providing a counter weight on the offshore side in the body of water. |
