Description

Description
"Joint system for convertion of Eolic, Solar, Sea Waves and Marine Current energies"
Technical scope of the invention:
The invention falls within the scope of the so-called renewable energies and more specifically in the wind energy, as well as the sun, sea waves' and marine currents'.
The present invention produces electric energy, hydrogen, compressed air or any other sort of energy through the simultaneous convergence of the energetic renewable resources of the wind, the sun, the sea waves and the marine currents, at competitive prices face to those of the hydroelectric dams, thermoelectric power plants and others. Applicable on oceans, seas, rivers, lakes and dam lagoons.
The previous technique:
From the previous technique, the various types of energy generators of wind, solar, sea waves and marine currents are well-known. The several converting systems, of these four renewable energy sources, present diverse problems that hinder a true competitiveness face to the traditional means of electric energy production, among which the following are outlined:
- Subordination to the minimum power of energy: in other words, if there is no wind at a certain speed, if there are no waves with a certain height and volume, if the sky is covered with clouds or if the marine currents are few, there will be no production of energy or, if there is, it will be highly scarce.
- The systems work independently from one another and the mixed systems that start to emerge (sea waves energy generators with wind generators) still persist on wasting the energy of the sun as well as of the marine currents, hence taking little benefit from the built infra-structures;
One of the advantages of the present invention is that no large amounts of money will have to be spent in expropriations, leasing, population displacement; moreover, this system does not emit gases or polluting substances and the possible location of the energetic production nearest to the high power consumptions (the sea coast) decreases the losses of the transport of energy, as well as the consequential maintenance costs of the network.
The present invention is characterized by the fact of producing compressed air, hydrogen, electric energy or any other energy through the concurrent convergence of the renewable energetic resources of the wind, solar energy, sea waves and marine currents.
The wind energy is obtained with the help of a multidirectional eolic turbine, with an aerodynamic shield for the rotor blades return.
The sea waves energy is converted by several machines that profit from the up and down undulation of the ocean waves.
The solar energy is collected through photovoltaic panels (already existing).
The energy produced by the wind, sea waves and the sun is converted with the help of generators, into compressed air, electricity, hydrogen and other kinds of energy that are stored in common reservoirs and will feed the propulsion engines of the mobile unit, a sort of a catamaran boat, in the dislocation in reverse sense of the marine currents. The attrition resulting there from is collected by a turbine, placed at the centre, in order to generate compressed air, electricity, hydrogen or other sorts of energy, storing it in reservoirs until its removal, which is made with the help of receiving structures placed along the sea coast.
This invention may also be adapted as Energy Producing Boat. In fact, with an identical way of operating and with the necessary adaptations, it will simultaneously convert the energies of the wind, the sun (photovoltaic panels already existing) and of the sea waves, which will be used to propel the boat in the dislocation in reverse sense of the marine currents; the resulting attrition will be used, with the increase of the discharge duly controlled, by a turbine placed at the centre and submerged in 50%, in order to feed the generators of compressed air, electricity, hydrogen and any other sort of energy, storing it in reservoirs and making its transfer on to a seaport prepared to receive, convert and distribute this stored energy.
This invention may be adapted into a floating boat, energetically self-sufficient, that may produce hydrogen, carry passengers, transport loads, supply energy to other vessels, supply with energy and drinking-water to bring help and support to zones of humanitarian catastrophes.
This invention may be adapted as a fixed platform to produce and generate energy, producing and converting the energy of the wind, the sun, the ocean waves and of the marine currents; duly adapted, it may elevate water from the Ocean, Sea, Rivers, Lakes, and Dam Lagoons into a reservoir placed at a higher level of the turbine that captures the energy to drive the generators of electricity, compressed air, hydrogen or any other sort of energy. The transfer of energy is done with the help of submerged cables or pipes until it reaches safe land, in order to be ejected into the distribution network system. The control of the operation can be done automatically or by remote control.
This invention may also be adapted as a joint action of one Production Fixed Platform that receives the energy produced by several mobile units that operated automatically or remotely in its vicinity. Producing or converting energy from the wind, sun, sea waves and marine currents, in the same way and with the necessary adaptations and receiving the energy produced by the several mobile units, of the catamaran type, through various reception "cones". The transfer of the energy up to safe land is done through submerged cables and pipes to be injected into the distribution network system.
This invention may yet be adapted, with the necessary alterations, as a system of energy production and unlevelling of water, through the joint combination of several mobile units and a fixed platform. Sea water or fresh water, when elevated at a higher level of collection and because of the gravitational force, is to be transported in pipes up to safe land or any other location, with reservoirs for the energetic resource management. After the production of electric energy, compressed air, hydrogen or any other sort of energy, the water will be used for desalination, aquaculture, beaches, pools, channels, renewal of river estuaries or to carry water from humid zones into dry zones. Description of the Figures
The drawings do not imply any limitations whichever in what regards dimensions or forms.
Fig. 1 and 2 represent the "Joint system for convertion of Eolic, Solar, Sea Waves and Marine Current energies", also mentioned as mobile unit, seen through the side cut of the drawing and plan, respectively.
The wind energy is collected by the multidirectional eolic turbine shown on Fig. 3 and 4, which has been designed to generate power from a wind low speed. It consists of one rigid turbine of light composite material, cylindrical and with large rotor blades, disposed vertically, fixed on its axle-shaft to the centre (n° 6 of figures 3 and 4) and supported on its lower and upper end (n° 7 of figures 3 and 4). The wind power will make the turbine and the half-moon aerodynamic shield roll (n° 4 of figures 3 and 4) up to the ideal position, which must be the radius of the shield's outer centre, 90° perpendicular to the direction of the wind, thus using its 2 steering gears (n° 1 of figures 3 and 4). We obtain then the maximum aerodynamic protection of the return of its 3 hollow blades (n° 2 of figures 3 and 4) each separated by an angle of 120°. The wind energy is then transmitted (n° 12 of figures 3 and 4) through its central shaft (n° 6 of figures 3 and 4) to an air compressor, electric generator, water elevating pump, electricity generator, hydrogen or any other sort of energy (n° 13 of figures 3 and 4).

Detailed Description of the Invention:
The "Joint system for convertion of Eolic, Solar, Sea Waves and Marine Current energies" invention is shown on the figures 1 and 2. It produces compressed air, hydrogen, electricity or any other sort of energy through the simultaneous convergence of renewable energetic resources, such as the wind, the solar energy, sea waves or marine currents.
The wind energy, collected by the multidirectional eolic turbine, described on the figures 3 and 4. Has been designed to generate power from a low wind speed. It consists of one rigid turbine of light composite material, cylindrical and with large rotor blades. The multidirectional wind turbine is disposed vertically, fixed on its axle-shaft to the centre (n° 6 of figures 3 and 4) and supported on its lower and upper end (n° 7 of figures 3 and 4). The wind power will make the turbine and the half-moon aerodynamic shield roll (n° 4 of figures 3 and 4) up to the ideal position, which must be the radius of the shield's outer centre, 90° perpendicular to the direction of the wind, thus using its 2 steering gears (n° 1 of figures 3 and 4).
