Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for producing a device for obtaining electrical energy from hydropower, as well as to a method for the conversion of a dam, in particular a weir.
  • hydropower plants in comparison to the production of other power plants, such as natural gas, coal, etc., involves a great deal of construction work, e.g. the production of a dam, a penstock, a powerhouse, etc., whereby the extraction costs for energy are relatively higher or the amortization of the investment therefore increases considerably. Furthermore, such a power plant means a not inconsiderable intervention in the ecology of the waterway. Therefore, as far as other energy sources are available, hydropower is difficult to justify in many cases from an economic and environmental point of view, especially for high output.
  • WO 89/00646 A1 describes a method for producing a hydroelectric power plant on an existing dam.
  • a part of a module for generating electrical energy is manufactured at a remote manufacturing site, transported to the site and completed on site by the necessary hydraulic machines are mounted.
  • on-site still consuming assembly work must be carried out, including the corresponding tools, auxiliary equipment and labor must be present.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object to provide a method for producing a device for obtaining electrical energy, which is cheaper compared to conventional power plants, as well as environmentally acceptable and is particularly competitive in comparison to other energy sources. Furthermore, the present invention has the object to provide a novel method for the conversion of a storage plant, which meets the above requirements.
  • a method for producing a device for obtaining electrical energy from hydropower the following steps are carried out: Manufacture of at least two turbine generator units, consisting of a turbine and a connected generator, connecting at least two turbine generator units together to at least one module, transporting at least one module by means of a means of transport, preferably a watercraft, from the place of manufacture over a distance to the place of use and lifting the at least one module at the place of use by means of a lifting device of the means of transport and positioning in a position intended for its operation.
  • the following steps are carried out: selecting an existing dam with an upper and lower water level, and with at least two stationary structures, in particular pillars, and with movable structures arranged between the stationary structures for regulation the level height, eg Contactor or flap, producing at least two turbine generator units, consisting of a turbine and a generator connected thereto, connecting at least two turbine generator units with each other to at least one module, transporting at least one module by means of a transport, preferably a watercraft, from the place of manufacture over a distance to the place of use and lifting the at least one module at the place of use by means of a lifting device provided on the storage device of the transport and positioning in a position provided for its operation between two stationary structures, wherein the module in its operating position instead of or in addition to the movable Structure is used to generate electrical energy.
  • the energy harvesting units can be manufactured comparatively inexpensive and already tested in advance, so that the installation a much faster installation and rapid commissioning is possible .
  • transport by means of a ship which can be done much cheaper and faster for the large electromechanical units used in river power plants.
  • the positioning and final assembly of the electromechanical units can be carried out by means of a crane, which already exists for other purposes on dams anyway, so that can be dispensed with the use of the usual construction cranes!
  • the present invention when used in an existing dam, which was indeed built for purposes other than power generation, but can be rebuilt by the method of the invention to a plant for energy, since for this application, the construction costs, such as for the construction of the Power house completely eliminated.
  • the special modular design of the electromechanical units it is now possible by means of the method according to the invention to use a per se highly environmentally friendly technology, such as hydropower, even without further intervention in ecology, under economically attractive conditions for the production of energy.
  • the conversion can be used advantageously as a technical measure for the reduction of greenhouse gases.
  • FIGS. 1 to 5 show by way of example the sequence of the method according to the invention for producing a device for obtaining electrical energy from hydropower.
  • the module 1 is located on the means of transport, here a ship 3, at a manufacturing location in a shipyard, which does not correspond to the future location.
  • a ship 3 At this place of manufacture, preferably directly on the ship 3, several turbine generator units 2 are connected together to form a module 1 for the production of electrical energy.
  • modules 1, consisting of turbine generator units 2 can naturally also be assembled on the same ship 3 or another ship.
  • suction pipes of the turbine generator units 2, with suction pipe closures 5 arranged thereon, are in this example an integral part of the steel construction of the module.
  • the suction tube closures 5 can, as in this example, be assigned to a plurality of turbine generator units 2.
  • module-resistant electrical switchgear 6 such as control and regulating units, power switches, compensation units, etc.
  • these electrical switchgear 6 can also be mounted at any other location, eg at the weir 11 at the site, and need not be integrated into the module 1 at the place of manufacture of the modules.
  • the modules 1 are provided with a rake 7 in the region of the turbine generator units 2 at their upstream broad side in order to prevent flotsam and other solid particles from getting into the turbine generator units 2, which leads to destruction of the turbine generator units 2 could.
  • well-known rake cleaning machines can also be arranged, which can automatically perform the cleaning of the rake 7 during operation.
  • FIG. 2 shows a completely assembled module 1 with a multiplicity of turbine generator units 2 and the rake 7, which is disposed at the end of a ship 3 ready for transport to the place of use, preferably in an upright position, which corresponds to the operating position ,
  • the transport preferably takes place on the same waterway, on which an existing weir system 11 is arranged, in which the module 1 is to be installed.
  • the module 1 has already been provided in this example with sliding units 9, here roller boxes, by means of which the module 1 in the weir 11 can be raised and lowered along vertical guides.
  • the module 1 is rigidly connected to the sliding units 9, e.g. screwed.
  • Fig. 3 shows the ship 3 with the module 1, which has arrived at the site, here a weir 11 with at least two pillars 12.
  • the ship 3 is now navigated so that the module 1, preferably in operating position, comes to stand upstream between two adjacent pillars 12 of the weir 11. In this position, the ship 3 is preferably anchored to ensure safe working.
  • a lifting device 4 which is connected to the module 1.
  • the pillars 12 of the weir 11 were prepared in advance for receiving the module 1 in advance.
  • vertical guides 8 were provided on the pillars 12, in which the sliding units 9, such as a roller box, can be movably guided.
  • the sliding units 9 such as a roller box
  • the lifting device 4 now lifts the module 1 from the ship 3 and brings the module 1 in a position in which the sliding units 9 of the module 1 are inserted on both sides of the module 1 in the guides.
  • the guides 8 and the sliding units 9 can of course also be designed so that no lifting device 4 for insertion is required.
  • the ship 3 now moves away from the weir 11 and releases the waterway to lower the module 1.
  • the sliding units 9 were already mounted in advance on the module 1 and the module 1 is connected when inserting the module 1 in the weir system 11 via the sliding units 9 with this.
  • the sliding units 9 are already used in advance in the guides 8 and the module 1 is raised at the site only in a position between the pillars 12 for connecting the module 1 with the sliding units 9, in which then a rigid Connection, eg by screwing, between module 1 and sliding units is made.
  • the module 1 with the sliding units 9, here a roller box, has already been hooked into the guides 8 and is in an upper lifting position.
  • the gap between module 1 and guide 8 or sliding units 9 is now also against flow of. Water sealed to fully exploit the energy of the water.
  • the now fully assembled modules 1 can now be lowered into an operating position, ie a position in which the turbine generator units 2 are arranged below the water surface and can be traversed by water.

  • the modules 1 are all in their operating position.
  • the modules 1 are electrically, preferably with the interposition of a transformer, connected to a power grid 10.
  • the recovered electrical energy is thus fed directly into a power grid 10.
  • Existing dams, as in this example, a weir 11, can be used in addition to meaningful in this way. This method thus represents a highly ecologically and economically favorable possibility of energy production.
  • any tests such as dry and wet tests or load tests, can be carried out in order to be able to ensure the functionality of the module 1.
  • the modules 1 can also be connected to a central control unit, which allows a central control of the energy generation taking into account other aspects, such as predetermined minimum or maximum water levels of the dam, or operating conditions or levels of other power plants.
