US Patent:

7866919, Jan 11, 2011

Filed:

Apr 14, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/102651

Inventors:

Allen David Miller - Palmer Lake CO, US

Assignee:

Natural Energy Resources Company - Palmer Lake CO

International Classification:

E02B 9/02
E02B 13/00

US Classification:

405 80, 405 51, 405 53, 405 75

Abstract:

A high altitude pumped-storage system for selectively integrating, storing, and distributing water and energy to increase the regional productivity of existing and future water and energy resources throughout multiple river basins is disclosed. This system addresses in part the increased requirement of supplying energy demands from a renewable energy source, such as wind, solar, or water generated power. The system includes at least one primary reservoir connected to multiple secondary reservoirs by conduits. The system allows for selectively distributing water and energy between secondary reservoirs and at least one primary reservoir. The system may comprise one or more hydroelectric power generation facilities. A method for increasing the regional efficiency of existing and future systems for producing, storing, and delivering energy from sources such as hydroelectric, wind and solar power from the water collected by the system described herein is also disclosed.
