The present invention is related generally to electric energy production and storage and more particularly to three devices that can work independently or as a system for generating, storing and retrieving of significant volume of “green” electric energy from sea and ocean waves. The present invention comprises of three module systems for wave power amplifying, wave power harnessing and conversion to electric energy, and energy storage. The system could double the height and quadruple the power of any wave, harness and convert all the wave power to electrical energy, store it without loss for as long as needed, and release it when and as needed.

1. An energy storage and retrieval module comprising: a) two or more deep vertical shafts bored into the ground at a predefined distance between each other;b) one or more horizontal tunnels with a railroad like tracks connecting said deep vertical shafts, serving as a storage yard;c) a plurality of wheeled masses configured to ride on said railroad-like tracks, andd) an elevator system with a cage with open sides and with a tracked floor to receive said wheeled masses positioned in each said deep vertical shaft. 2. A system for water wave amplification, wave energy harnessing, and energy storage to utilize a water wave having a wave length, a wave height, a wave trough, and a wave speed, comprising: a) a wave amplifier system comprising: a semisubmersible platform having a set of buoyancy control columns, a set of support beams, and a bottom section, and is anchored to an ocean/sea floor;a plurality of shoaling plates each having a high rear-end and a low front-end, sloping at a predetermined angle, and installed at the bottom section of said semisubmersible platform and supported by said set of support beams, and submerged below a wave base to act as a false near-shore ocean/sea floor to form a shallow water region, anda buoyancy control system to maintain said high rear-end of each said shoaling plate below said wave trough;b) a wave power harvester system, andc) an energy storage and retrieval system comprising: i) a deep vertical elevator shaft bored into the ground;ii) a solid mass element;iii) a vertical transportation system comprising of a rack-and-pinion vertical elevation system, a set of holding breaks for moving said solid mass element inside said vertical elevator shaft;iv) a control system, wherein a first control sequence causing said vertical transportation system powered by a motor-generator to move said solid mass element inside said vertical elevator shaft from a position of relatively low potential energy to a position of relatively higher potential energy in an energy storing mode, and a second control sequence causing release of a holding brake of said vertical transportation system allowing said mass element to controllably descend and turn a motor-generator of said vertical transportation system generating electricity in response to said lowering of said mass element from a position of relatively higher potential energy to a position of relatively low potential energy in an energy delivery mode;v) one or more underground horizontal storage tunnels to serve as multilevel underground storage, wherein each said horizontal storage tunnel having a set of surface tracks for horizontal movement of a set of wheeled masses, wherein each said wheeled mass is loaded into an elevator cage to be lifted or lowered for storage or retrieval of energy. 3. The system of claim 2, further comprises of a variable-speed gearbox. 4. The system of claim 2, further comprises of a power in/out conditioning substation. 5. A system for water wave amplification, wave energy harnessing, and energy storage to utilize a water wave having a wave length, a wave height, a wave trough, and a wave speed, comprising: a) a wave amplifier system comprising: i) a semisubmersible platform having a set of buoyancy control columns, a set of support beams, and a bottom section, and is anchored to an ocean/sea floor;ii) a plurality of shoaling plates each having a high rear-end and a low front-end, sloping at a predetermined angle, and installed at the bottom section of said semisubmersible platform and supported by said set of support beams, and submerged below a wave base to act as a false near-shore ocean/sea floor to form a shallow water region, andiii) a buoyancy control system to maintain said high rear-end of each said shoaling plate below said wave trough;b) a wave power harvester system, andc) an energy storage and retrieval system comprising: i) a deep vertical elevator shaft bored into the ground;ii) a solid mass element;iii) a vertical transportation system comprising of a rack-and-pinion vertical elevation system, a set of holding breaks for moving said solid mass element inside said vertical elevator shaft;iv) a control system, wherein a first control sequence causing said vertical transportation system powered by a motor-generator to move said solid mass element inside said vertical elevator shaft from a position of relatively low potential energy to a position of relatively higher potential energy in an energy storing mode, and a second control sequence causing release of a holding brake of said vertical transportation system allowing said mass element to controllably descend and turn a motor-generator of said vertical transportation system generating electricity in response to said lowering of said mass element from a position of relatively higher potential energy to a position of relatively low potential energy in an energy delivery mode;v) a hoist installed above a deep vertical elevator shaft bored in a ground and powered by an electric motor-generator, and further having a mass that is suspended from a cable that is wound around a cable spool of the hoist, and wherein the electric motor-generator is mechanically connected to a speed reducing gearbox by a first shaft, and the speed reducing gearbox is further connected to the hoist by a second shaft, whereby in an energy storage mode, the electric motor-generator causes the hoist to lift the mass upwards inside the vertical elevator shaft increasing the gravitational energy potential of the solid mass element/weight, wherein the gravitational energy of the mass at a higher elevation is maintained until electrical energy is demanded by a power grid, at which time a holding brake on the hoist shaft is released and the mass is allowed to descend by gravity, driving the motor-generator and generating electricity.
