How does energy storage work?

The main energy storage body consists of a number of hollow concrete spheres with an inner diameter of 30 m that are placed on the seabed at a depth of 600–800 m. Each ball has a hydro turbine generator and a pump. When the power is in excess and the grid load is low, for energy storage, the pump consumes the electricity to pump seawater out.
