The pressure at about 400 m of depth in an ocean or lake is about 40 atm. A Canadian company is studying a system that will submerge large, empty concrete tanks into which water will flow through turbines to fill the tanks. The turbines will generate electricity that will be used to run compressors at the surface to store compressed air for later use to produce power on land. The turbines will then be reversed and used as pumps to empty the tanks so the cycle can be repeated. Write a technical paper that summarizes the technical concepts underlying this technology and its potential in a form suitable for briefing a member of Congress.
