Description

Dans la recherche des économies d'énergies pétrolières de nombreux brevetsIn the search for oil energy savings many patents

ont vu le jour dans la propulsion des véhicules routiers et notamment dans la propulsion hybride essence-électrique. Dans ce cas l'énergie reste pour la plus grande part l'oeuvre du combustible pétrolier. En ce qui concerne les bâtiments de navigation maritime l'énergie nécessaire pour le déplacement de ces bâtiments est très importante et nécessite des combustibles diesel et fioul qui sont plus économiques. Des essais ont été abordés dans la navigation fluviale en incorporant l'énergie électrique dans la propulsion de chalands à usage touristique mais les dimensions de la capture énergétique pour la propulsion restreignent la capacité du système. On connaît les avantages du catamaran et du trimaran dans la stabilité du bateau et la facilité de manoeuvre. Les nouvelles recherches sur les cellules photovoltaïques ont permis d'avoir un rendement supérieur à 13% par ensoleillement : l'obscurcissement des rayons solaires diminue légèrement ce rendement dans les nouveaux types de cellules : pour cela il est indispensable d'avoir une surface très importante de capture qui compense cette diminution. Le but principal de l'invention est de réaliser un principe de bateau du type catamaran ou trimaran où des cellules photovoltaïques occupent le toit de la superstructure du bateau sur toute la surface pour alimenter les batteries disposées dans ses cales qui fournissent l'énergie nécessaire aux moteurs électriques de propulsion. Un dispositif hybride diesel-électrique peut, le cas échéant, s'accoupler au moteur électrique pour augmenter son autonomie. Le bateau est constitué par : Des cellules photovoltaïques qui sont disposées sur le toit de la superstructure en formant un équilibre stable dont le poids ne dépasse pas les 3% du poids du bateau.(1 de la figure 1 et de la figure 2) Des batteries électriques dont la capacité est plus que du double de la capacité de recharge par cellules photovoltaïques qui sont disposées dans les cales de chaque coque au dessous du centre de gravité du bateau. La capacité de ces batteries doit pouvoir faire tourner les moteurs électriques pendant 14 heures sans rechargement : les cales sont suffisamment importantes pour loger ces batteries (2 de la figure 1 et de la figure 2). Les moteurs électriques sont disposés dans chaque coque du bateau et sont directement liés à la propulsion du bateau. Un centre électronique permet de relier les commandes au poste de pilotage (3 de la figure 1 et de la figure 2). Les moteurs diesel sont disposés dans l'axe des moteurs électriques et ne se mettent en marche que pour recharger les batteries dans les cas extrêmes (3 de la figure 1 et de la figure 2).  were born in the propulsion of road vehicles and in particular in petrol-electric hybrid propulsion. In this case the energy remains for the most part the oil fuel work. With regard to the shipping vessels, the energy needed to move these vessels is very important and requires more economical diesel and oil fuels. Trials have been discussed in river navigation by incorporating electrical energy into the propulsion of barges for tourist use, but the dimensions of the energy capture for propulsion restrict the capacity of the system. The advantages of the catamaran and trimaran are known in the stability of the boat and ease of maneuvering. New research on photovoltaic cells has yielded more than 13% in sunshine: the obscuration of solar rays slightly reduces this yield in new types of cells: for this it is essential to have a very important surface capture that compensates for this decrease. The main purpose of the invention is to achieve a principle of boat type catamaran or trimaran where photovoltaic cells occupy the roof of the superstructure of the boat over the entire surface to feed the batteries arranged in its holds which provide the energy necessary for electric propulsion engines. A hybrid diesel-electric device can, if necessary, mate with the electric motor to increase its autonomy. The boat consists of: Photovoltaic cells which are arranged on the roof of the superstructure forming a stable equilibrium whose weight does not exceed 3% of the weight of the boat (1 of Figure 1 and Figure 2). electric batteries whose capacity is more than double the capacity of recharging by photovoltaic cells which are arranged in the holds of each hull below the center of gravity of the boat. The capacity of these batteries must be able to run the electric motors for 14 hours without reloading: the shims are large enough to accommodate these batteries (2 of Figure 1 and Figure 2). The electric motors are arranged in each hull of the boat and are directly related to the propulsion of the boat. An electronic center is used to connect the controls to the cockpit (3 of Figure 1 and Figure 2). Diesel engines are arranged in the axis of the electric motors and start only to recharge the batteries in extreme cases (3 of Figure 1 and Figure 2).

2904963 2 Les types de catamaran ou trimaran sont indispensables pour permettre d'acquérir la plus grande surface possible des cellules photovoltaïques. La distance donnée entre chaque coque est fonction de la largeur nécessaire du pont supportant les cellules photovoltaïques. La structure de l'ensemble est très robuste car la forme donnée donne une rigidité au bateau. La largeur du bateau n'est pas un obstacle à sa mise à quai (4 de la figure 2).2904963 2 Types of catamaran or trimaran are essential to allow to acquire the largest possible area of photovoltaic cells. The distance given between each shell is a function of the necessary width of the bridge supporting the photovoltaic cells. The structure of the whole is very robust because the given shape gives rigidity to the boat. The width of the boat is not an obstacle to its docking (4 of Figure 2).
