When the stored energy is required, air is released and heated by combustion of fuel or gases, and is expanded to power a turbine, generating electricity. The diabatic system is known mainly to be a hybrid system composed of natural gas combustors that utilize the highly compressed air to enhance the combustion process [105] .
The turbine and rotor create rotating inertia to improve grid stability. Generators convert the mechanical output of a turbine into electrical power. Power plants take that produced power and then transmit it into the grid. Turbines can be powered solely by—or blends of—gas, steam, air, and even hydrogen.
