1 Method of and apparatus for producing uninterruptible power US10470800 2002-02-11 US06981378B2 2006-01-03 Lucien Y. Bronicki
Uninterruptible power is supplied to a load connected to a power line by connecting the power line to a rotatable member that includes a Rankine cycle turbine coupled to a device that operates as a motor when line power is operative thereby rotating the member at a standby rotational speed so that a predetermined amount of kinetic energy is stored in the rotating member, and that operates as a generator when the line power is inoperative and the member is rotated by the application of vaporized working fluid to the turbine. Working fluid is vaporized and maintained at an operational temperature level only when the line power is inoperative. The working fluid is held at a standby temperature level, preferably greater than the operational temperature level, while the power line is operative whereby the working fluid contains a predetermined amount of stored thermal energy while the power line is operative. In response to loss of line power, vaporized working fluid is applied to the turbine thereby rotating the rotatable member whereby the turbine rotates the member at a nominal operational speed that preferably is less than the standby rotational speed. Finally, in response to the loss of line power the device is connected to the load whereby the stored thermal energy in the working fluid and the stored kinetic energy in the rotating member are converted by the device to power for the load.

5 Dual thermodynamic cycle cryogenically fueled systems US11592683 2006-11-03 US20070163261A1 2007-07-19 Michael Strathman
Systems and methods for converting thermal energy, such as solar energy, from a localized thermal energy source to another form of energy or work comprise dual thermodynamic cycle systems that utilize the liquid-to-gas phase transitions of a cryogenic fluid such as liquid nitrogen and a working fluid such as sulfur hexafluoride to drive prime movers. Heat transfer between the fluids as they undergo the phase transitions is used to increase the energy in the system and its work output, and improve system efficiency.
