ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for utilizing natural energy in the production of electricity having an alternating current is disclosed wherein the natural energy is utilized to pressurize hydraulic fluid. The hydraulic fluid is temporarily stored within high pressure storage tanks to be utilized in the production of electricity. This electricity is supplied as needed to various consumers. Excess electricity which is generated by hydro electric devices driven by the pressurized hydraulic fluid is utilized to pressurize additional hydraulic fluid. The additional hydraulic fluid is then supplied to the high pressure storage tanks to be used at a later time for the production of electricity. In this way, excess electricity that is produced from the pressurized hydraulic fluid is reconverted into pressurized hydraulic fluid which may be stored in the high pressure storage tanks until needed. The high pressure storage tanks may be initially charged with a compressible fluid which is compressed by the pressurized hydraulic fluid. A piston may be provided within each storage tank in order to separate the pressurized hydraulic fluid from the compressible fluid. Depending upon the overall capacity of the natural energy system, a plurality of pressurized storage tanks may be necessary and may be conveniently provided underground.
