The basic idea is to submerge the storage vessel into the ocean at a large water depth, convert the energy into compressed air, store it with using the hydrostatic water pressure to balance the compressed air pressure without requiring the storage vessels to resist high internal air pressure. An additional advantage is that the interface of air and water acts as a piston to maintain the air pressure level.}, booktitle={Volume 9B: Ocean Renewable Energy}, publisher={ASME International}, author={Xiao, Jinfu and Gabr, M. and Rahman, M.
