    摘要: A method of operating a thermal energy storage system comprises operating a pump to circulate a heat transfer fluid from cold storage through a heating system to hot storage, supplying electric power from an electric power grid external to the thermal energy storage system to power an electric heater in the heating system that heats the heat transfer fluid as it circulates through the heating system to hot storage, regulating a flow rate of the heat transfer fluid through the heating system so that the heat transfer fluid enters hot storage at a specified temperature, and regulating the supplying of electric power from the electric power grid to the electric heater to balance supply of and demand for power on the electric power grid and maintain a frequency, a voltage, or a frequency and a voltage of electric power on the electric power grid at specified values.

    摘要: In a method of hybrid power generation in an environment with a gas pressure below the earth's atmospheric pressure, liquid water is extracted from a subsurface water ice deposit by pumping superheated-supercritical fluid heated by a heater through an extraction well into the subsurface water ice deposit in order to form a liquid water reservoir. Liquid water is pumped from the liquid water reservoir through the extraction well to the buffer tank. The liquid water is pumped from the buffer tank into a high pressure feeder system (HPFS) and a low pressure feeder system (LPFS), which are each also heated by the heater. The HPFS outputs supercritical water and the LPFS outputs flash steam into a combined injector and the mixture is injected into a turbine at near environmental pressure. This mixture explosively expands into superheated steam and passes through the turbine, powering an electrical generator.

    摘要: Plastic-powered power generator. In an embodiment, the plastic-powered power generator comprises a primary reactor with an air-fuel distribution assembly configured to supply fluidized polymer, air, and oxidizer to a primary reactor chamber, and an ignition system configured to ignite a mixture of the fluidized polymer, air, and oxidizer. The primary reactor chamber extends into a secondary reactor, to, when ignited, heat air flowing through the secondary reactor from a blower to a heat exchanger. The heated air flow converts fluid, in a coil within the heat exchanger, into steam, which can drive a turbine to generate electrical power.
