SYSTEM FOR ELECTRICITY GENERATION

A system (1) for energy storage and electricity generation is described. The system includes an energy storage subsystem (10) and an electricity generation subsystem (100) coupled to the energy storage subsystem (10). The energy storage subsystem (10) is configured to store energy in the form of compressed air at a temperature greater than a temperature of ambient air in the atmosphere. The electricity generation subsystem (100) includes an airlift pumping system and a hydro-electric power system driven by the airlift pumping system (110), and is configured to produce electricity by utilizing the compressed air stored in the energy storage subsystem (10) at the temperature greater than the temperature of ambient air in the atmosphere.
