    摘要: Disclosed herein is a system for storing and releasing energy, including a generator/motor; a hydraulic pump for pumping hydraulic fluid between first and second pump ports in response to force applied by the generator/motor and also capable of imparting force to the generator/motor in response to hydraulic fluid being caused to flow between the first and second pump ports; a first compression/expansion vessel for exchanging hydraulic fluid with the hydraulic pump via the first pump port; a second compression/expansion vessel for exchanging hydraulic fluid with the hydraulic pump via the second pump port; a gas storage subsystem for selectively storing gas from, or releasing gas to, the first and second gas compression/expansion vessels; a control subsystem for controlling at least a plurality of gas valves associated with the gas storage subsystem to switch between the storing and releasing, wherein, during storing, responsive to hydraulic fluid being pumped by the hydraulic pump between the first and second pump ports, gas is caused to be compressed in the gas storage subsystem thereby to store energy, and wherein, during releasing, responsive to pressure from release of compressed gas from the gas storage subsystem, hydraulic fluid is forced to flow between the first and second pump ports thereby to release energy.

    摘要: Disclosed herein is a system comprising a generator/motor subsystem configured to interchangeably impart and receive mechanical force, a stiff DC bus, and power conditioning circuitry electrically connected between the generator/motor subsystem and the stiff DC bus. The power conditioning circuitry conditions electrical power received from the stiff DC bus to control the angular speed of a rotor of the generator/motor subsystem when imparting mechanical force, and to also condition electrical power generated for provision to the stiff DC bus by the generator/motor subsystem when receiving mechanical force. Also provided is a control subsystem automatically controlling excitation of the generator/motor subsystem in coordination with fluctuations in rotational speed of the generator/motor subsystem thereby to regulate input/output power of the generator/motor subsystem.
