OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

La invención, tal como expresa el enunciado de la presente memoria descriptiva, se refiere a un generador de energía eléctrica combinado, aportando a la función a que se destina varias ventajas y características de novedad, que se describirán en detalle más adelante y que suponen una mejorada alternativa frente a otros sistemas actualmente conocidos para el mismo fin. The invention, as expressed in the statement of the present specification, refers to a combined electric power generator, contributing to the function to which several advantages and novelty characteristics are destined, which will be described in detail below and which suppose a improved alternative to other systems currently known for the same purpose.

Más en particular, el objeto de la invención se centra en un dispositivo generador de energía eléctrica, concretamente una turbina tipo góndola, como la que incorporan los aerogeneradores, cuyo rotor, en lugar de accionarse a partir del giro de unas aspas acopladas al mismo y movidas por el viento, se acciona a partir de la energía solar obtenida por las células fotovoltaicas de uno o más paneles conectados a un motor eléctrico que se acopla a dicho rotor. More particularly, the object of the invention focuses on an electric power generating device, specifically a gondola type turbine, such as that incorporated by wind turbines, whose rotor, instead of being driven from the rotation of blades coupled thereto and moved by the wind, it is driven from the solar energy obtained by the photovoltaic cells of one or more panels connected to an electric motor that is coupled to said rotor.

El campo de aplicación de la presente invención se enmarca dentro del sector técnico de la industria dedicada a la fabricación de generadores de energía eléctrica, centrándose en los destinados a producir energía eléctrica para volcarla a la red para su posterior venta. The field of application of the present invention is part of the technical sector of the industry dedicated to the manufacture of electric power generators, focusing on those intended to produce electric power to dump it into the grid for later sale.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Como referencia al estado actual de la técnica, debe señalarse que, si bien existen en el mercado y en los registros numerosos tipos de aparatos y dispositivos generadores de energía eléctrica, así como múltiples invenciones relacionadas con ellos, al menos por parte del solicitante, se desconoce la existencia de ningún otro generador de energía eléctrica o invención de aplicación similar que presente unas características técnicas, estructurales y constitutivas semejantes a las que particularmente presenta el generador de energía eléctrica combinado que aquí se preconiza y cuyos detalles caracterizadores en encuentran convenientemente recogidos en las reivindicaciones finales que acompañan a la presente memoria descriptiva del mismo. As a reference to the current state of the art, it should be noted that, although there are numerous types of electrical energy generating devices and devices on the market and in the registers, as well as multiple inventions related to them, at least by the applicant, It is unaware of the existence of any other electric power generator or invention of similar application that has technical, structural and constitutive characteristics similar to those particularly presented by the combined electric power generator that is recommended here and whose characterizing details are conveniently included in the Final claims that accompany this specification.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

De forma concreta, lo que la invención propone, como ya se ha apuntado anteriormente, es un aparato que tiene como finalidad generar energía eléctrica combinando un generador de tipo turbina de aerogenerador y la energía solar, para lo cual dicho generador está accionado mecánicamente por un motor eléctrico que, a su vez, se suministra de energía a través de la energía solar o fotovoltaica. Specifically, what the invention proposes, as already noted above, is an apparatus whose purpose is to generate electrical energy by combining a turbine-type turbine generator and solar energy, for which said generator is mechanically actuated by a electric motor that, in turn, is supplied with energy through solar or photovoltaic energy.

El objetivo del generador combinado que se propone es poder hacer trabajar dicha turbina a su máxima potencia de forma ininterrumpida, durante las 24 horas del día, con el fin de no depender de factores medio-ambientales, como ocurre con los aerogeneradores, que dependen de la existencia y velocidad del viento para producir mayor The objective of the combined generator that is proposed is to be able to operate said turbine at its maximum power uninterruptedly, 24 hours a day, in order not to depend on environmental factors, such as with wind turbines, which depend on the existence and speed of the wind to produce greater

o menor cantidad de energía moviendo sus aspas. or less energy moving their blades.

Además, el generador de energía eléctrica combinado que se propone, proporciona la ventaja de poder ser emplazado en cualquier lugar que reúna los requisitos para su desarrollo, sin tener que contemplar los impactos medios ambientales, impactos sobre la flora, efectos sobre la fauna y avifauna, condiciones atmosféricas especiales tales como vientos extremos y heladas y un largo etc., que suponen los generadores eólicos, ya que la góndola o estructura que aloja la turbina se puede instalar a ras de suelo, sin tener que elevarla a 60 o 90 metros para poder mover unas aspas. In addition, the proposed combined electric power generator provides the advantage of being able to be located in any place that meets the requirements for its development, without having to contemplate environmental impacts, impacts on flora, effects on wildlife and birds , special atmospheric conditions such as extreme winds and frosts and a long etc., which involve the wind generators, since the gondola or structure that houses the turbine can be installed at ground level, without having to raise it to 60 or 90 meters to To be able to move some blades.

Con esta compaginación, pues, se logra un máximo aprovechamiento del terreno. Un factor muy importante a resaltar en el aerogenerador eléctrico combinado, es el abaratamiento del costo frente al que supone en un aerogenerador o parque eólico, ya que se evitan diversos elementos, tal como las aspas y mástil, su correspondiente montaje y transporte al lugar de emplazamiento, la erosión del terreno y viales de acceso, se suprimen motores de regulación de paso de palas y orientación de góndola, e instrumentación tal como anemómetros, veletas, termómetros, barómetros, así como también la instalación de ascensores dentro del mástil para subir a la góndola y un largo etc., abaratándose considerablemente el costo del aerogenerador o parque eólico. With this combination, then, maximum use of the land is achieved. A very important factor to highlight in the combined electric wind turbine is the lowering of the cost compared to that in a wind turbine or wind farm, since various elements are avoided, such as the blades and mast, their corresponding assembly and transport to the place of location, the erosion of the land and access roads, motors for the regulation of blades and gondola orientation are suppressed, and instrumentation such as anemometers, vanes, thermometers, barometers, as well as the installation of elevators inside the mast to climb to the gondola and a long etc., considerably reducing the cost of the wind turbine or wind farm.

En definitiva, la invención pretende compaginar las nuevas tecnologías de producción de las turbinas de los aerogeneradores accionándolas mediante la energía producida por paneles solares fotovoltaicos a través de un motor eléctrico. In short, the invention aims to combine the new technologies of turbine turbine production by driving them through the energy produced by photovoltaic solar panels through an electric motor.

Para ello, y de forma más concreta, el generador de la invención comprende, esencialmente, un conjunto de paneles solares que, mediante acumuladores dotados de sus respectivos reguladores de carga, para proteger la vida útil de los mismos, acumulan energía suficiente para hacer trabajar un motor eléctrico. To do this, and more specifically, the generator of the invention essentially comprises a set of solar panels that, by means of accumulators equipped with their respective charge regulators, to protect their useful life, accumulate enough energy to make work an electric motor

Dicho motor eléctrico, que puede ser monofásico o trifásico, según la envergadura del generador y la potencia que necesite, hace girar de forma continua el rotor de la turbina mediante un sistema de engranajes, correas o cadenas de transmisión con las que se vincula al mismo, haciendo posible que dicha turbina trabaje a su máxima potencia continuamente y, por tanto, produzca energía de manera ininterrumpida. Said electric motor, which can be single-phase or three-phase, depending on the size of the generator and the power it needs, continuously rotates the turbine rotor through a system of gears, belts or transmission chains with which it is linked , making it possible for said turbine to work at its maximum power continuously and, therefore, produce energy uninterruptedly.

La finalidad de la energía producida es, preferentemente, volcarla a la red eléctrica para su posterior venta y suministro. The purpose of the energy produced is, preferably, to dump it into the electricity grid for later sale and supply.

Visto lo que antecede, se constata que el descrito generador de energía eléctrica combinado representa una estructura innovadora de características desconocidas hasta ahora para tal fin, razones que unidas a su utilidad práctica, la dotan de fundamento suficiente para obtener el privilegio de exclusividad que se solicita. In view of the foregoing, it is found that the described combined electric power generator represents an innovative structure with characteristics unknown until now for this purpose, reasons that together with its practical utility, provide it with sufficient grounds to obtain the privilege of exclusivity that is requested .
