    Abstract: A geothermal energy storage/converting system utilizes hot water and pressure, such as steam, generated by the geothermal heat/ground water to store energy and/or generate electricity. The system utilizes a motion of a piston, driven by steam generated by geothermal heat, to control movement of an amount of water, which is used to store the energy by compressing gas as energy storage. When electricity is needed, the compressed gas provides a force to push the stored water to drive a hydrogenerator to generate electricity. In a geothermal energy converting embodiment, system utilizes a motion of a piston, driven by steam generated by geothermal heat, to control movement of an amount of water to drive a hydrogenerator to generate electricity.

    Abstract: A computer-controlled energy storage system optimizes the process of energy storage and electricity re-generation. In an energy storage and release cycle, the gas is compressed and released in a pressure range that is optimized in terms of energy storage and release (e.g., round trip) efficiency. In some embodiments, the gas is not pressurized to an unneeded high-pressure level (e.g., 100 atm) and also does not release to an exhaust pressure level (e.g., 0 atm).
