Abstract
An electrical power generating system is provided for supplementing an electrical power distribution network. The supplemental system of this invention is devised to utilize available sources of energy that are otherwise unused and converting that energy to power which is added to and utilized in the normal or primary electrical power distribution network. The system of this invention includes electrical generation means of a type that is adapted to be powered by a specific energy source and develops electrical energy which is stored for intermittent or periodic transfer into the primary power system. An electrical circuit is provided for sensing of the electrical power that is stored and includes a switching circuit that is responsive to the stored electrical power for connecting an electrical energy storage device to the primary electrical network and affect a transfer of electrical power. A sensing and triggering circuit is provided for the detection of the electrical energy storage level and the wave-form of the primary electrical distribution network and is operative in response thereto, for transfer of the electrical energy in synchronized relationship to that wave-form. A wa…
