Patent ID: 8138629

Claim:
A method of delivering electrical energy to a point in a wholesale electrical power grid, said method comprising the steps of: accessing a source of electrical energy at a first location; converting said electrical energy into a form of transportable energy by using said electrical energy to change electrochemical potential states of both a positive and a negative liquid electrolyte from discharged to charged; transporting at least said charged positive and negative liquid electrolytes from said first location to said point in said wholesale electrical power grid at a second location having a need for additional electrical energy without said electrical energy going through said wholesale electrical power grid to said point; converting said form of transportable energy back into electrical energy suitable for supply to the wholesale electrical power grid by using said electrochemical potential of said charged positive and negative liquid electrolytes to create a flow of electricity at said point in said wholesale electrical grid at said second location; and discharging said electricity to said point in said wholesale electrical power grid.
