Further, a relatively small amount of the hydrogen may also beusedtoregulatethedensityoftheWorking?uidfedtothe turbineinlets.TheinjectionofhydrogengasintotheWorking ?uid inlet to the turbines enables regulationiie, optimiZa tioniof the density of the Working ?uid to provide the most e?icient operation of the turbine generator in response to variationsindemand.Thatis,thetorqueoutputoftheturbines can be closely controlled, by regulating the density of the driving ?uid input to the turbine, to thereby regulate the electricityoutputofthegenerator. The hydrogen may be provided by electrolysis in an elec trolyZer or electrolysis plant poWered by the Wind poWer generators and stored for use by the hydrogen-fueled boilers that are used to produce the steam fed to the heat balancers, WhichprovidetheoptimumtemperatureWorking?uidtothe turbines. Thus, a Zero emission, reneWable source of energy is stored and utiliZed in these tWo methods of increasing the 20 e?iciency ofthe steam driven turbine generators. The system is operated by a control system under software control that responds to inputs from transducers located throughout the system that sense temperatures, pressures, load variations, etc.toregulatetheoperationoftheheatbalancingandhydro 25 geninjectionapparatusplacedintheWorking?uidinletpaths to the steam driven turbines.

In one application, the cylinder may be placed on the inlet side of a heat balancer. In another application, the cyl inder conveys the regulated Working ?uid from the heat bal ancer to the inlet of the turbine. In each application, both manifoldscontainalargenumberofmicro-capillarytubesor 40 passages that are distributed over the surface of the cylinder Withintheboundariesofthemanifold.Thesemicro-capillary tubespermittheentryofthehothydrogengasunderpressure intotheinteriorofthecylindertomixWiththeWorking?uid, thusreducingitsdensityaccordingtopresetparametersunder45 thecontrolofthecontrolsystem.

The ReneWable Energy PoWer Plant ThereneWableenergypoWerplantaccordingtothepresent invention Will be described With the aid of FIGS. 3, 4, and 5. These ?gures are composed to demonstrate basic principles ofthe inventions and hoW they may be utiliZed.

In the next feW paragraphs, some general descriptive comments Will be presented as an aid to understanding this relatively complex system, before the structural details are described. A simpli?eddraWingofareneWableenergypoWerplant system (REPPS) according to the present invention is shoWn inFIG. 3.FIG. 3 illustratesone embodiment ofabasic system to demonstrate hoW various elements or components may be used together to enhance ef?ciency and optimally balance availablereneWableenergyresourcestoproduceelectricity thatmatchesthedemandforelectricityatanyparticulartime.

HoWever, the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 3 includes the structural features needed to demonstrate the principlesofthepresentinvention,WhichutiliZesreneWable energy sources inanovel Way thatmay be appliedinavariety ofWaysWithoutdepartingfromthescopeoftheinvention. In general, the system illustrated utiliZes geothermal energy and Wind energy sources. Both sources are considered to be reneWable, and are not subject in practical terms to depletion. Each reneWable source isprocessed separately in respectivebranches.Therespectiveoutputsfromageother mal (?rst) branch and a Wind energy (second) branch are mergedinaheatbalancingapparatusandprocesstoprovide hot, dry steam optimiZed to drive a steam turbine electric generator at maximum ef?ciency. Although FIG. 3 appears complex,itmaybereadilyunderstoodbyrecogniZingthat there are three basic circuits in the system. The ?rst basic circuit in FIG. 3, called the “primary source side,” processes the geothermal ?uid pumped from the hot rock strata deep in the Earth’s mantle. This circuit is located intheloWercenterandrightcornerofthedraWingandcor responds to the ?rst (geothermal) branch. The second basic circuit, called the “demand side,” contains the circuits and apparatusforprocessingtheWorking?uid.TheWorking?uid receivesitsinitialheatenergyfromthegeothermal?uid.The heatenergycontentoftheWorking?uidisfurtherboostedin theheatbalancerstosuitablelevelsfordrivingtheturbinesat maximum ef?ciency.The demand sideislocatedintheupper halfofthedraWingandmay bethoughtofascorrespondingto theoutputsectionofthepoWerplant.Thethirdbasiccircuit, called the “secondary source side” in this description, is located along the left side of the draWing.
