Abstract (en)

An electric generator (4) operatively connected to a gas turbine (3) is driven by driving the gas turbine (3) with high pressure hydrogen (8) released from a hydrogen storage alloy which is contained in a first zone (1) and which is heated by indirect heat exchange (5) with a heating medium (18) while reabsorbing the hydrogen discharged from the gas turbine (3) in a hydrogen storage alloy which is contained in a second zone (2) and which is cooled by indirect heat exchange (6) with a cooling medium (19). By switching the flows of the heating and cooling media alternately, an electric energy may be continuously obtained from the electric generator (4). The electric generator (4) is characterized by the provision of means preheating and cooling of the hydrogen whereby a steady level of electric energy can be generated.
