Description

PHOTOVOLTAIC HYDROSOLAR POWER STATION

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION:

The present specification refers to a device for obtaining electrical energy, by means of a photovoltaic solar plant and hydraulic energy (a hybrid system).

This invention has its application in the field of the renewable energy industry for energy production, from the potential energy of water.

BACKGROUND IN THE STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE

The use of the potential energy accumulated in the water for the generation of electrical energy, is a traditional way of obtaining energy, using the accumulation of water in reservoirs and dams, and subsequently releasing it at a certain height to be turbinated and obtain said renewable energy .

This type of energy is classic, since its use takes more than 100 years in the world. In Spain, its generated production is around 16%, thus contributing to the supply in the Spanish energy sector.

Photovoltaic solar energy is one of the most recent renewable energies, specifically the youngest in this sector. In Spain it contributes from 4% to 5% annually, to the country's energy system. The European Union (EU) projects that by 2020 the energy origin will be at least 20% in the renewable energy sector.

Global Environmental requirements are increasingly stringent, and especially in the European Union, in which they raise the need for less dependence on fossil fuels, and in turn more emphasis is required on the generation of electric energy through cleaner and renewable sources such as: wind, solar, hydraulics or other sources.

However, there is no combined hybrid system (Photovoltaic Hydropower Plant), which is composed of a photovoltaic solar plant and a hydroelectric system, based on a hydraulic cylinder with a linear generator, which are combined together for the generation of electric power, which also be self-sufficient, including the two elements, solar and hydraulic, alternatively, its versatility gives the possibility of being located in any isolated, industrial and population center.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The "Photovoltaic Hydrosolar Power Plant", by means of a hydraulic cylinder, a linear generator and a photovoltaic solar plant, consists of harnessing the energy available in the water stored in an upper reservoir, at a height of at least 7 meters to install one or more pipes verticals that include at its lower end a bend (Curve) of 90 to 180 degrees, at whose free end an automatic valve is attached to a hydraulic cylinder. In this way the force of the water generates a movement of the pistons present in each of the cylinders where the water column is generated. Specifically, the translator of the linear generator, attached to the piston of the hydraulic cylinder by the lower part of the rod, is coupled to the upper end of the rod.

The installation involves a hydropneumatic accumulator in the water drainage pipe and a reservoir in the lower part in order to store the water, which is elevated by means of a water pump, fed by a photovoltaic solar plant, to the upper reservoir.

The installation is completed with an electrical panel, including a control system for the opening and closing of automatic valves and managing the pumping of water through its control, which is fed through photovoltaic energy.

EXAMPLE OF THE PREFERRED RELATIONSHIP

In view of Figure 1 it can be seen by way of example of the preferred embodiment of the invention that it is composed of a reservoir (1) at a certain height, a pipe (2) in elbow termination (Curve) of 90 a 180 degrees at the free end of which an automatic valve (3) attached to a hydraulic cylinder (4) is located. Thus the operation of the hydraulic cylinder

(4) begins with the opening of the automatic valves (3) that activates the passage of water provided with a sufficient flow and height to move the piston (5) together with the rod (6) to the top of the cylinder (4 ) which, in turn, generates a vertical movement of the 1st row (7) in the linear generator (8). The water when moving the piston (5) of the hydraulic cylinder (4), in the upward movement, compresses a spring (9) that is located around the rod (6) that performs the return function due to the accumulated energy, by the compression of the spring itself (9) when the piston reaches its upper end.

Subsequently, the piston (5) returns, together with the rod (6) and the translator (7), to its initial position by the action of the spring (9) by evacuating the water accumulated in the cylinder (4) when the closure is activated of the automatic valve (3) and the opening of the automatic evacuation valve (10), and the opening and closing cycle is repeated again.

The water evacuated from the hydraulic cylinder (4) through the opening of the evacuation valve (10) carries the force transferred from the spring (9) and is directed through the pipe (11), a part of the water to the lower reservoir (15), regulated by the valve (20) and the other part to the hydropneumatic accumulator (13) moving through the clapper valves (t 2) joining in turn to the drain pipe (17).

The installation of the photovoltaic solar plant (21) electrically feeds the water pump (t 6) to the water pump (t 6), thus pumping the water from the lower reservoir (15) to the upper one (1) by means of the pipe (17) storing Water as an energy reserve.

The installation is completed with an electrical panel (14) to activate the openings and closures of the valves (3) and (t O) and program the water pump (16) to raise the water to the upper reservoir (1).

The recommended system can operate from 5 to 100 cycles.

Alternatively, two vertical water columns (2) can be installed on both sides of the reservoir (on both sides of the reservoir) which include an elbow (Curve) of their lower ends.

10 90 degrees, at the free end of which an automatic valve (3) coupled to a hydraulic cylinder (4) is located, in a horizontal position, the pistons (5) with their respective rods (6) are housed in the cylinders (4). Both rods (6) are connected to the ends of the traslator (7) of the linear generator (8), staying between the two hydraulic cylinders (4) facing each other.

15 Regardless of the objective, which is the generation of electrical energy by means of "photovoltaic hydro-solar power plant", it can be extended to other fields of the hydraulic industry such as: water pumping, water transfer or other alternatives.

It is not considered necessary to make this description more extensive so that anyone skilled in the art understands the scope of the invention and the advantages of

20 same drift. The materials used, shapes, sizes, number of pieces and arrangement of elements described will be subject to variation as long as this does not imply an alteration in the essentiality of the invention.
