Abstract
An underwater pumped storage power plant reservoir in a dry but floodable ground depression, comprises a modular arrangement of several individual pressure vessel modules for the intermediate storage of electrical energy from other power plants, wherein the pressure vessel modules each have an outer wall with at least one flow-through opening for letting in and/or letting out water and can each be filled with water and/or pumped empty independently of one another when the dry ground depression is flooded with water, and wherein the modular arrangement of the pressure vessel modules is designed in such a way that the pressure vessel modules are arranged with respect to one another in the dry ground depression with their outer wall face-to face adjacent to one another.
