Patent attributes
A secondary electric power system and method of operation are disclosed. The system contains a grid having an array of turbines by which pressurized fluid is used to generate electricity to power a residential, commercial, agricultural or industrial structure. The secondary system may be a backup power source to the structure when a primary source is temporarily unavailable or may be a primary source in some circumstances. The method pumps fluid from a first pressure to a second pressure and exposes the fluid to a grid of turbine driven generators, the pressure is reduced across the grid to a third pressure that is less than the second. Additionally embodiments of the system are integrated into and incorporate components of other building utilities, e.g. water, sewer and fire control.
