ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM FOR SUPPLEMENTAL SUPPLY TO ELECTRICAL TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM WITH INTEGRATED LOAD MANAGEMENT

Abstract

A local controller for supplying a supplemental electrical current to an electrical grid, based on a supply demand communicated by an electrical grid demand controller, the electrical current generated by an energy storage system using a heat transfer fluid at a first temperature and an injection liquid at a second temperature for phase change in a nozzle that ejects accelerated gas and HTF for mechanical work to operate a generator, and alternatively a plurality of solar photovoltaic modules exposed to ambient light for selectively heating the heat transfer fluid or for storing in a battery bank, for selective supply of the generated electrical current for heating the HTF, for storage in the battery bank, and for supply to the electrical grid, thereby managing the generation, storage, and supply of electrical current from the energy storage system and/or the solar photovoltaic modules and battery bank. A method of supplying supplemental electrical current to an electrical grid servicing load center using an energy storage system and optionally a solar-energy electricity generation system is disclosed.
