A renewable electric power system includes a high temperature
superconducting wind turbine using high temperature superconducting
yttrium-barium-copper oxide for the rotor and stator windings as well as
a superconducting bearing. Power from the turbine is stored in a high
temperature superconducting magnetic storage system that also uses HTS
YBCO. Also included is a regenerative solid oxide fuel cell/electrolyzer
with steam turbine cogeneration. The system operates on a managed
day/night cycle. During daytime, the energy produced by the wind turbines
and fuel cells is transmitted to the grid. During nocturnal hours, the
wind turbine is used to provide low cost electricity to the reversible
fuel cells operating in the electrolysis mode producing hydrogen and
oxygen that is stored for later use. Alternatively, the fuel cells can
remain in electrolysis mode producing hydrogen and oxygen for the market.
A modified interactive system generates power on a continuous twenty-four
hour cycle.
