A water reservoir system for generating, accumulating, storing, and releasing electrical energy comprises a reservoir wall built in a shallow body of water such as a sea or an ocean with a height exceeding the outside water level by about 10-25 m, thereby defining an interior of the water reservoir. Excess electrical energy from other renewable sources of electricity such as wind, solar power, or supplied by a local power grid is used to operate water pumps to fill the interior of the water reservoir with water during times of peak supply of electricity. Water is drained from the water reservoir to the outside body of water and generates electrical energy by flowing over a plurality of water turbines, thereby generating electricity and supplementing electrical power for the local power grid during times of high demand. Additional interior sources of renewable energy may be used to supplement external sources of electrical power in operating the system of the invention.

The device for conversion of wave energy into electrical energy consists of a supporting structure, the first working body, an anchor and anchor cables. The supporting structure is connected to the anchors by anchor cables, while the first working body is slidably connected to the supporting structure. The motion transformation system is firmly connected to the supporting structure and comprises rigid gears toothed with gears with rolls on one side while on the other side they are hinged to the first working body, on the other side of the gears with the rolls, rigid gears are connected at one end, while their other end is hinged to other working body. The gears with rolls are connected by shafts with a multiplier that drives the generator that further produces electricity. The device constructed in this way has the possibility of transport to the place of exploitation, because it floats stably on its own. The anchor system is transported to the place of exploitation using a transport body that also has the ability to float on its own and to submerge.

A circular dam for generating, accumulating, storing, and releasing electrical energy comprises a wall defining a water reservoir built in an abundant body of water such as a sea or an ocean. Water inside the water reservoir is kept at a water level below the water level outside the wall so as to create a water level difference sufficient to operate one or more water turbines positioned across the wall of the water reservoir. Excess electrical energy from other renewable sources of electricity such as wind, solar power, or supplied by a local power grid is used to operate water turbines as water pumps to lower the water level inside the reservoir during times of peak supply of electricity. Water is drained from outside the wall back into the water reservoir to generate electrical energy by flowing over a plurality of water turbines. Generated electricity supplements electrical power for the local power grid during times of high demand.
