Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A process for recovering power is disclosed, by which excess electric power is exploited for electrolyzing alkali metal hydroxides (molten) and the thusly obtained pure alkali metals are stored. When the demand of electric power becomes critical, the alkali metals are reconverted into their hydroxides and the reaction heat, along with the hydrogen produced in the reaction, is recovered to produce steam: the latter can be used either to produce electricity, or to use its heat, or both.
