Abstract: An electric generator operatively connected to a gas turbine is driven by driving the gas turbine with high pressure hydrogen released from a hydrogen storage alloy which is contained in a first zone and which is heated by indirect heat exchange with a heating medium while reabsorbing the hydrogen discharged from the gas turbine in a hydrogen storage alloy which is contained in a second zone and which is cooled by indirect heat exchange with a cooling medium. By switching the flows of the heating and cooling media alternately, an electric energy may be continuously obtained from the electric generator.
