An energy storage system includes a main container (1) to which water can be pumped, an auxiliary container (2) that contains a prescribed material, e.g. carbon dioxide, in both liquid and gaseous form, a line (8) connecting the auxiliary container (2) to the main container (1 ) so that there is gaseous prescribed material in the upper part of the main container (1), a barrier separating the gaseous prescribed material in the main container (1) from the water in the main container (1) and means permitting the discharge of water under pressure from the main container (1) so as to operate a turbine and generator (3). |
