The present invention relates to a wind energy generating and storing system
comprising methods and apparatuses for providing energy dedicated for immediate
use and energy storage, to provide electrical power on an uninterrupted and continous
basis, to locations remote from an electrical power grid. In a large application,
the invention contemplates having a predetermined number of windmills dedicated
for immediate use, and a predetermined number of windmills dedicated for energy
storage, as compressed air energy in one or more high pressure tanks. A hybrid
windmill having the ability to simultaneously switch between energy for immediate
use and energy storage can also be provided.
