Claim 8:
9. The electrochemical direct heat to electricity converter according to claim 8, wherein when heat energy available from the primary heat source is insufficient to meet demands of an external load coupled to the converter and a temperature of the low pressure working fluid storage reservoir is at a level such that a hydrogen pressure of the low pressure working fluid storage reservoir is below a hydrogen pressure of the high pressure working fluid storage reservoir, heat is extracted from the primary heat sink as the latent heat of desorption as hydrogen is released by the high pressure working fluid storage reservoir, migrates to the low pressure working fluid storage reservoir and is absorbed by the metal hydride material therein with its heat of absorption being rejected to the converter.
