A discussion is given of a power system which operates basically on the principle of hydro pumped energy storage and which provides for the transfer of the off-peak energy into the peaking time using a modified gas turbine cycle. The energy is stored as compressed air, released through an expansion valve when needed. Several possible air-storage facilities are discussed. The operation, equipment, and design philosophy are presented for a Huntorf plant now under construction and to be commissioned in 1977. (PMA)
