ABSTRACT:
A process is disclosed for generating and temporarily storing generated electrical power in electro-chemical, chemical and electro-mechanical mediums and for efficiently reconverting the stored energy back to usable AC electrical energy. In one embodiment of the process, alternating current is converted to direct current which is used to power a chlorine-sodium hydroxide electrolysis cell. Process steam, from a steam generating source, and fuel gas are combined in a reformer process to produce hydrogen and carbon monoxide. The carbon monoxide is then recycled with process steam to form additional hydrogen and carbon dioxide. In addition, the process steam is used to liquify air to form oxygen. The chlorine, hydrogen, carbon dioxide and oxygen gases produced by the processes, are compressed and/or stored in appropriate tanks. The sodium hydroxide is processed, stored and then fed to hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells. The stored hydrogen and oxygen are fed to the hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells, thereby generating direct current which is then inverted to form alternating current. The alternating current is fed into the alternating current power grid for distribution to power consumers. The chlorine is used as a fuel oxidant or may be utilized in water processes. The carbon dioxide is used in refrigerant and other processes.
