ABSTRACT:
A turbo-machine plant comprises a gas turbine connected to a synchronous electrical machine by way of an over-riding clutch and a compressor connected to the electrical machine by way of a disconnectible coupling. The machine group is operable in two different modes. In one mode, the electrical machine functions as a motor for driving the compressor which delivers air to an air storage chamber and the gas turbine is automatically disconnected from the electrical machine by the over-riding clutch. To change over to the other operational mode the power absorption of the compressor is first reduced to a low level, and the gas turbine is then brought up to synchronous speed and becomes coupled to the electrical machine which then operates for current generation.
