Abstract
A submersible hydraulic assembly for an energy storage plant is provided that includes at least one hydraulic machine and at least one first buoyancy chamber filled with at least one first buoyancy element. The at least one first buoyancy chamber is generally configured in such a way that the hydraulic machine is substantially neutrally buoyant when submerged in an environmental liquid. An energy storage plant is also provided as well as a method for performing maintenance operations on an energy storage plant and a method for assembling/disassembling an energy storage plant.
Claims22
Submersible hydraulic assembly (6) for an energy storage plant (1) comprising:
- at least one hydraulic machine (12);
- at least one first buoyancy chamber (46, 50, 63) filled with at least one first buoyancy element (47, 51, 64);
- the at least one first buoyancy chamber (46, 50, 63) being configured such that the hydraulic machine (12) is substantially neutrally buoyant when submerged in an environmental liquid.
