ABSTRACT:
An improved electric power regeneration system, featuring reduced environmental air and thermal pollution. The system employs a method and means whereby during periods of low load demands upon a conventional type electric power generating plant, the excess power then available is employed (at low cost to the system) to pump low temperature ambient air (or any other suitably heat-absorbent gas) at relatively low pressure into a subterranean cavity in a salt deposit which is in thermal communication via an interconnecting spire or dome of salt with a geological "mother bed" occurring at such depths below the earth's surface as to constitute a constant high heat source. The air/gas conduit system is intermittently closed, whereupon the heat intake from the earth's center causes significant storage of heat energy in the entrapped air/gas and substantial increases of the pressures under which it is entrapped. When load requirements upon the generating plant are high, the meantime developed high pressure/temperature air/gas supply within the subterranean cavity is released to operate any suitably responsive turbine, or other engine driving electrical generating equipment so as to contribute to supply of the higher power demand.
