Abstract: A method is presented and described for compensating load peaks during the generating of electrical energy and/or for the generating of electrical energy by utilizing the heat of heated carrier gas (2) for the electricity generation, and/or for the utilization of the heat of heated carrier gas (2) for hydrogen generation, comprising the steps: heating of carrier gas (2), especially hot air, in at least one gas heater (4a-d), wherein hot carrier gas (2) with a specified target charge temperature exits from the gas heater (4a-d), thermal charging of at least one heat storage module (5a-d) of a plurality of heat storage modules (5a-d) of the storage power station (1) by releasing heat from the hot carrier gas (2) from the gas heater (4a-d) to a heat storage material of the heat storage module (5a-d), time-delayed thermal discharge of at least one heat storage module (5a-d), preferably of a plurality of heat storage modules (5a-d), wherein colder carrier gas (2), especially cold air, flows through at least one

Abstract: A method is provided for carbon-dioxide-neutral compensation for current level fluctuations in an electrical power supply system as a result of peaks and troughs in the generation of electrical energy. When a generation peak occurs, electrical energy produced from a regenerative energy source is used in an electrolysis unit for hydrogen generation. A hydrogen flow generated in the electrolysis unit is supplied to a reactor unit that catalytically generates an energy-carrier flow containing hydrocarbon. In a generation trough, the produced energy-carrier flow is burned in a combustion chamber. The thermal energy of the flue-gas flow formed by the combustion is used to generate electrical energy in a turbine process. The generated electrical energy is fed into the electrical power supply system. The flue-gas flow is supplied to the reactor unit as a carbon source for generation of the energy-carrier flow.
