Energy storage systems and methods using heterogeneous pressure media and interactive actuation module

A heterogeneous pressure media and interactive actuation energy storage system comprising:

• a plurality of heterogeneous pressure media and interactive actuation modules, wherein each of the heterogeneous pressure media and interactive actuation modules includes:
• a first container having a first space storing an initial gas;
• and
• a second container coupled with one side of the first container and having a second space storing an initial liquid;
• a liquid source storing a working liquid;
• a pump disposed between the liquid source and the plurality of heterogeneous pressure media and interactive actuation modules, wherein the pump regulates a speed or an amount of the working liquid entering the plurality of heterogeneous pressure media and interactive actuation modules;
• a converter receiving and outputting the working fluid;
• a first pipe forming a third space, the first pipe having a plurality of container connection ports, a first connection point and a third connection point, wherein each of the container connection ports couples with each of the second spaces and the third space, wherein the first connection point and the third connection point are formed at the two ends of the first pipe, wherein the first connection point is coupled to a first end of the liquid source, and wherein the third connection point is coupled to a first end of the converter;
• and
• a second pipe forming a fourth space, a first end of the second pipe is coupled with a second end of the converter and a second end of the second pipe is coupled to a second end of the liquid source;
• when in a first operation mode, the working liquid is controlled by the pump and injected into the second space through the first pipe, so that the working liquid drives the initial liquid to flow toward the first space, thereby continuously compressing the initial gas in the first space until the initial gas reaches a predetermined pressure, further causing the first container to store a first pressure energy;
• and
• when in a second operation mode, the initial gas is controlled by the pump and continuously expanded to drive the initial liquid moving toward and discharge from the first pipe, so that the first pressure energy becomes a second pressure energy, and wherein the initial liquid causes the working liquid driving the converter to generate electricity.
