Abstract
An accumulator system is coupled to gas turbines for storing thermal energy in a heat accumulator, having a charge circuit and a discharge circuit. The charge circuit has an electrically operated heat generation device which is configured for generating heat with the utilization of electrical energy. The charge circuit is configured for transferring the heat at least temporarily to the heat accumulator, in order to store the heat therein. The discharge circuit is configured to thermally condition a fluid by the heat from the heat accumulator, and to then guide the fluid to the intake side of a compressor of a gas turbine, wherein the charge circuit has a heat pump as heat generation device.
