Abstract

A power station arrangement is provided having an energy generation unit for generating useful thermal energy on the basis of physical and/or chemical processes, a high-temperature storage unit to be at least partially supplied with heat for regular operation, particularly a metal oxide/air storage unit, and a piping system for thermally coupling the energy generation unit to the high temperature storage unit.
