Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Konstruktion im Wasserkraftwerksbau, welche zur Gänze den Betonbau für das Kraftwerksgebäude überflüssig macht.The invention relates to a construction in hydropower plant, which for Completely eliminates the need for concrete construction for the power plant building.

Bei herkömmlichen Konstruktionen ist die Turbine meist in einem je nach Fallhöhe nicht unbeträchtlichen Betonbau eingebettet und es sind beträchtliche Volumina von der Funktion des Kraftwerkes nicht erforderlich. Besonders bei größeren Höhenunterschieden in Flußmündungen, welche stark schwankenden Wasserspiegeln bei Hochwasser ausgesetzt sind, würde ein druckdichter Betonbau bis zur 100- jährlichen Hochwassermarke erforderlich machen.In conventional designs, the turbine is usually in one depending on the head not inconsiderable concrete construction embedded and there are considerable volumes of the function of the power plant is not required. Especially with larger ones Differences in height in estuaries, which reflect strongly fluctuating water levels exposed to flooding, a pressure-tight concrete structure up to 100- annual flood mark.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, die betriebserforderlichen Einheiten wie Turbine, Generator, Schaltanlage und Steuerungsanlage so zweckmäßig anzuordnen und einzuhausen, daß das Wassergefälle ausgenutzt wird, ohne jedoch den bisher erforderlichen druckdichten Betonbau vom Saugschlauch bis zu den Lichtkuppeln fertigen zu müssen.The invention is therefore based on the object, the operating units such as turbine, generator, switchgear and control system so practical to arrange and house that the water gradient is used without, however the previously required pressure-tight concrete construction from the suction hose to the To have to manufacture skylights.

Die Erfindung löst die Aufgabe dadurch, daß das Wasserkraftwerk mit Turbine, Generator sowie Steuer- und Schaltanlagen auf einer mit Schwimmkörpern versehenen Plattform befestigt und mittels einer Einhausung vor der Witterung geschützt ist und dass das Wasserkraftwerk ein starres Verbindungsrohr (6) für die Wasserzufuhr aufweist, welches am oberen Niveau mit einer in einer Absperrung (8) vorgesehenen Durchlaßöffnung verbunden ist und am unteren Niveau mit der Einlaßöffnung verbunden ist und an seinen Enden jeweils mittels flexibler Verbindungselemente (7) derart mit den Öffnungen verbunden ist, daß das Wasserkraftwerk je nach Wasserspiegel des unte­ ren Niveaus in der Höhe veränderlich ist. The invention achieves the object in that the hydropower plant with the turbine, generator and control and switching systems is fastened on a platform provided with floating bodies and is protected from the weather by means of an enclosure, and in that the hydropower plant has a rigid connecting pipe ( 6 ) for the water supply, which is connected at the upper level with a passage opening provided in a barrier ( 8 ) and is connected to the inlet opening at the lower level and is connected at its ends to the openings by means of flexible connecting elements ( 7 ) in such a way that the hydropower plant, depending on the water level of the the lower level is variable in height.

Der Wasserzufluß erfolgt über das Verbindungsrohr, welches mit dem Oberwasser in Verbindung ist. Eine Vertäuung oder Pfähle mit einem Ring an der Plattform verhindert das Abtriften. Die Konstruktion bewegt sich bei steigendem Wasserspiegel entsprechend mit, sodaß auch der Wasserzufluß weiterhin gewährleistet ist. Ein weiterer großer Vorteil ist die Schonung der Landschaft durch weitgehend nicht benötigten Boden für Zulauf und Krafthaus, welche sich dann zumeist im Flußbett befinden.The water inflow takes place via the connecting pipe, which is connected to the headwater. A mooring or piles with a ring on the platform prevent them from drifting off. The construction moves accordingly when the water level rises, so that also the water flow is still guaranteed. Another big advantage is that Protection of the landscape by largely unnecessary soil for inflow and Power house, which are then mostly in the river bed.

Die neuartige Aufstellung eines Wasserkraftwerkes auf einer schwimmenden Konstruktion mit einer Einhausung zum Schutz vor Witterungseinflüssen erlaubt minimale Gebäudekubaturen, welche bei der herkömmlichen Betonbauweise in der Regel vom Saugschlauch unter Wasser + Ausbaufallhöhe + Baulichkeiten oberhalb des Oberwasserspiegels erforderlich sind. Die Schwimmkonstruktion erlaubt das Mitgehen auch bei sehr stark wechselnden Unterwasserspiegeln durch den in Form des Verbindungsrohrs gegebenen Zulaufschacht, welcher diese Bewegungen mitvollziehen kann. Die Platzierung kann im bestehenden Flußbett erfolgen, so daß kein Grundverbrauch darüber hinausgehend erforderlich ist. Durch die Vorfertigung in Modulen ist eine sehr rasche Fertigstellung und Inbetriebnahme am Einsatzort möglich. Die Kosten für eine derartige Konstruktion liegen wesentlich unter jenen einer Betonbauweise.The novel installation of a hydroelectric power plant on a floating one Construction with a housing for protection against weather influences allowed minimal building cubatures, which in the conventional concrete construction in the Rule of the suction hose under water + removal height + construction above Surface water levels are required. The floating construction allows you to go along even with very strongly changing underwater levels through the inlet shaft in the form of the connecting pipe, who can follow these movements. The placement can be in the existing River bed take place, so that no basic consumption beyond that is required. Due to the prefabrication in modules is a very quick completion and Commissioning possible on site. The cost of such a construction lie significantly below that of a concrete construction method.
