Abstract:
1. A turbine-generator system for generating electrical power, comprising: a power source connected to a compressor, wherein the power source converts a renewable energy into mechanical power to drive the compressor; one or more pressurized tanks connected to the compressor for storing compressed air output by the compressor; a turbine connected to the one or more pressurized tanks via one or more nozzles, the turbine comprising a plurality of turbine blades and a turbine flywheel each rotatably mounted to a shaft, the one or more nozzles aligned with the turbine blades to deliver compressed air thereto; wherein the turbine further comprises a magnet motor for selectably applying torque to the turbine flywheel; a generator coupled to the turbine via a magnetic clutch, wherein the generator comprises a generator casing that houses within its interior an upper generator flywheel rotatably mounted to a generator shaft, a lower generator flywheel rotatably mounted to the generator shaft, and a plurality of coils positioned between the upper generator flywheel and the lower generator flywheel.
