It is a further object of the present invention to provide a combination ofreneWable energy sources and programmable control systems to enable an electric generating system to operate at any level from base load to peak load conditions, evenWhenthedemandforelectricityencountersWidesWings because of time of day, climatic conditions, and consumer uses; and even When reneWable energy sources are subject to Wide sWings in availability because of variations in climate, geographicallocation,geologicaltemperatureconditions, solarradiation,andthelike. It is a further object of the present invention to provide a combination of apparatus for storing reneWable energy such as Wind and solar-generated electricity. It is further an object of the present invention to provide hydrogengas,fromelectrolysisofWaterbyreneWableenergy generated electricity, to be stored and utiliZed to increase the e?icacy of Working ?uids and steam turbines; to provide supplemental heat energy, as in a hydrogen-?red boiler to producehot,drysteamforuseinabinarycyclepoWerplant; andtoenablerestorationofthepH ofWorking?uidsreturned to the geothermal strata via injection Wells.
