Description

1 1. DESCRIPTION1 1. DESCRIPTION

Il s'agit d'un dispositif autonome, mobile et portable de production, stockage et distribution d'énergie électrique. Ce dispositif se comporte comme une véritable pile électrique utilisant l'air comprimé pour stocker l'énergie et la poussée d'Archimède pour sa récupération. Le système proposé a pour objet de permettre la fourniture d'énergie électrique pour des besoins domestiques ou industriels à la demande. Il s'appuie sur les propriétés mécaniques et thermodynamiques des gaz comprimés comme: > La pression: une fois comprimé (vers 300 bar), l'air peut être stocké pour conservation ceci sans difficulté technique. Il peut également être transporté sans danger pour l'environnement; > Les variations de pressions: la compression de l'air génère un réchauffement de ce dernier, sa décompression, un refroidissement; > La non nocivité en terme de pollution de l'air; > L'absence de combustion qui évite toute production de gaz à base de soufre ou carbone qui peuvent se révéler toxiques.  It is an autonomous, mobile and portable device for the production, storage and distribution of electrical energy. This device behaves like a real battery using compressed air to store energy and buoyancy for recovery. The purpose of the proposed system is to enable the supply of electrical energy for domestic or industrial needs on demand. It relies on the mechanical and thermodynamic properties of compressed gases such as:> The pressure: once compressed (around 300 bar), air can be stored for preservation without technical difficulty. It can also be transported without danger to the environment; > Pressure variations: the compression of the air generates a heating of the latter, its decompression, a cooling; > Non-harmfulness in terms of air pollution; > The absence of combustion that avoids any production of sulfur or carbon-based gases that can be toxic.

Par ailleurs, la gravité provoque des forces de contact sur tout corps placé dans un fluide. Ainsi, la poussée d'Archimède s'applique également pour un fluide gazeux placé en milieu liquide.  In addition, gravity causes contact forces on any body placed in a fluid. Thus, Archimedes' thrust also applies to a gaseous fluid placed in a liquid medium.

Ce dispositif utilise l'ensemble de ces propriétés dans le domaine du stockage et de la production d'énergie. Il permet la production simultanée de: - Chauffage domestique et production d'eau chaude; - Refroidissement (climatisation, réfrigération) ; - Production d'électricité : par utilisation d'une roue spécifique placée dans un milieu liquide. L'air comprimé est utilisé pour provoquer la rotation de la roue sous l'effet de la poussée d'Archimède.  This device uses all of these properties in the field of storage and energy production. It allows the simultaneous production of: - Domestic heating and hot water production; - Cooling (air conditioning, refrigeration); - Production of electricity: by use of a specific wheel placed in a liquid medium. Compressed air is used to cause the wheel to rotate under the effect of buoyancy.

Pour cela, le dispositif sera alimenté par une source d'énergie à coût réduit (secteur en heures creuses, solaire en période de sous-utilisation, vent, micro-centrales hydrauliques...) ou air comprimé industriel produit à cet effet.  For this, the device will be powered by a low-cost energy source (off-peak sector, solar underuse period, wind, micro-hydro ...) or industrial compressed air produced for this purpose.

1.1 Domaine technique de l'invention Stockage et production à la demande sous une forme économique, non polluante et selon des quantités faibles, moyennes ou élevées d'énergie électrique. La source de courant électrique provient d'énergies renouvelables: rayonnement (énergie solaire), à partir de vent (éolienne) ou autre (air comprimé industriel) ...  TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION Storage and production on demand in an economical, non-polluting form and in low, medium or high amounts of electrical energy. The source of electrical power comes from renewable energies: radiation (solar energy), from wind (wind) or other (industrial compressed air) ...

1 1.2 Etat de la technique antérieure. faisant ressortir le problème technique posé L'énergie électrique se caractérise par une difficulté technique liée à la complexité du stockage physique de cette énergie. A ce jour, le stockage direct de l'énergie électrique se fait essentiellement sous forme d'énergie chimique par emploi de piles. Les progrès réalisés au niveau des piles visent à réduire leur poids, capacité de stockage et coût de production. Néanmoins, à ce jour et même dans l'avenir ce moyen reste et restera onéreux et limité. En effet, le respect des normes anti-pollutions ainsi que la masse des piles font que l'on ne peut stocker et véhiculer de grandes quantités d'énergie électrique sous cette forme et à des niveaux de coûts compatibles avec les autres sources d'énergie alternatives.  1 1.2 State of the prior art. highlighting the technical problem The electrical energy is characterized by a technical difficulty related to the complexity of the physical storage of this energy. To date, the direct storage of electrical energy is essentially in the form of chemical energy by the use of batteries. Advances in batteries are aimed at reducing their weight, storage capacity and cost of production. Nevertheless, to this day and even in the future this means remains and will remain expensive and limited. Indeed, compliance with anti-pollution standards and the mass of batteries mean that we can not store and transport large amounts of electrical energy in this form and at cost levels compatible with other sources of energy. alternatives.

Par ailleurs, l'énergie solaire utilisant les cellules photovoltaïques souffre d'inconvénients majeurs comme: - La variabilité de l'ensoleillement selon les saisons, les lieux, les horaires... - la fourniture d'un courant électrique basse tension, - des créneaux horaires opposés à ceux des besoins domestiques en particulier la consommation se fait le soir pour l'éclairage ou le chauffage alors que le soleil est actif en journée.  Moreover, solar energy using photovoltaic cells suffers from major drawbacks such as: - The variability of sunshine according to the seasons, the places, the schedules ... - the supply of a low-voltage electrical current, - slots opposed to those of domestic needs especially the consumption is done in the evening for lighting or heating while the sun is active during the day.

Il est donc particulièrement avantageux de disposer d'un moyen de stockage de cette énergie produite pendant les heures d'ensoleillement pour pouvoir la restituer pendant les heures de consommation domestique et ceci éventuellement sous forme de courant alternatif à 220 V par exemple.  It is therefore particularly advantageous to have a means of storing this energy produced during the hours of sunshine in order to be able to restore it during the hours of domestic consumption and this possibly in the form of alternating current at 220 V for example.

De même, des sources d'énergies comme le vent, l'eau et le nucléaire sont caractérisées par une production non contrôlable de manière instantanée: Le vent souffle à une vitesse variable, L'eau a un débit fluctuant, L'énergie nucléaire est produite en permanence même la nuit (d'ou la nécessité de réguler sa consommation par l'aspect coût)...  Similarly, energy sources such as wind, water and nuclear power are characterized by a production that can not be controlled instantaneously: The wind blows at a variable speed, Water has a fluctuating flow rate, Nuclear energy is continuously produced even at night (hence the need to regulate its consumption by the cost aspect) ...

1.3 Exposé de l'invention (caractéristiques technique de l'invention) Le dispositif s'appuie sur les composants suivants: 1) Alimentation à partir d'une source de production d'électricité à partir de cellules photovoltaïques (panneau solaire), de centrales éoliennes, hydraulique, secteur en période creuses, air comprimé industriel ou autre...  1.3 Description of the invention (technical features of the invention) The device is based on the following components: 1) Power supply from a source of electricity production from photovoltaic cells (solar panel), power plants wind turbines, hydraulics, off-peak sector, industrial compressed air or other ...

2) Alimentation électrique d'un compresseur haute pression pour produire une pression ≥ 300 bar. L'hypothèse est de 350 W pour produire 1 m3 à 300 bar. On emploiera si besoin un onduleur pour obtenir la puissance et le voltage nécessaire. Cette compression s'accompagne d'un réchauffement du compresseur. (transformation de l'énergie électrique). Le compresseur est piloté par un système 1 d'asservissement qui détermine quand on le déclenche.  2) Power supply of a high pressure compressor to produce a pressure ≥ 300 bar. The assumption is 350 W to produce 1 m3 at 300 bar. If necessary, an inverter will be used to obtain the necessary power and voltage. This compression is accompanied by a warming of the compressor. (transformation of electrical energy). The compressor is controlled by a servo system 1 which determines when it is triggered.

3) Récupération de la chaleur et refroidissement du compresseur. La chaleur récupérée est suffisamment importante pour être utilisée pour un réseau d'eau chaude ou un Chauffage domestique. Elle résulte de l'effet joule et de la compression de l'air.  3) Heat recovery and compressor cooling. The recovered heat is large enough to be used for a hot water system or a home heating system. It results from the joule effect and the compression of the air.

4) Un circuit de récupération du courant en période d'utilisation journalière permet de ne stocker que l'énergie non utilisée.  4) A current recovery circuit during the daily use period only stores the unused energy.

Si la consommation demandée est supérieure à la production en continue de la source d'énergie ou lorsque la source ne peut fournir d'énergie (pas d'ensoleillement ou pas de vent), un asservissement électronique déclenche le démarrage d'une roue placée dans un milieu liquide dont la rotation es provoquée par des compartiments dans lequel l'air s'emprisonne. En effet, par poussée d'Archimède l'air est poussé vers le haut. Pour canaliser et récupérer cette force sur la roue, des compartiments ayant une forme spécifique se remplissent d'air, l'emprisonne puis le libère selon la position de la roue. La roue est ensuite connectée par courroie avec un générateur électrique produisant la puissance souhaitée.  If the requested consumption is greater than the continuous production of the energy source or when the source can not supply energy (no sunshine or no wind), an electronic servocontrol triggers the start of a wheel placed in a liquid medium whose rotation is caused by compartments in which the air is imprisoned. Indeed, by pushing Archimedes the air is pushed up. To channel and recover this force on the wheel, compartments having a specific shape fill with air, trapping and release according to the position of the wheel. The wheel is then connected by belt with an electric generator producing the desired power.

Par exemple, un M3 d'air à une pression de 2 bar, placé dans de l'eau par exemple est soumis à une poussée d'Archimède égale à 1 tonne. La récupération de cette force permet la rotation de la roue.  For example, an M3 of air at a pressure of 2 bar, placed in water for example is subjected to an Archimedes thrust equal to 1 ton. The recovery of this force allows the rotation of the wheel.

Pour réguler la vitesse de rotation de la roue, des masses sont fixées sur celle-ci de manière 20 à augmenter son inertie.  To regulate the speed of rotation of the wheel, masses are fixed thereto so as to increase its inertia.

Afin de maîtriser la puissance produite, il est nécessaire de contrôler le débit de l'air selon la puissance souhaitée.  In order to control the power produced, it is necessary to control the flow of air according to the desired power.

5) La détente du gaz produit un refroidissement des bouteilles de gaz comprimé. Un 25 circuit de récupération de ce froid peut être activé pour le récupérer à des fins de climatisation ou de refroidissement.  5) The expansion of the gas produces a cooling of the compressed gas bottles. A cold recovery circuit may be activated to recover it for cooling or cooling purposes.

L'association de ces composants en vue de restituer en temps différé par rapport à la production initiale une énergie électrique après l'avoir stockée par emploi d'air comprimé ou de tout autre gaz non polluant puis récupération de l'énergie gravitationnelle sous forme de poussée d'Archimède constitue le caractère innovant de cette invention par rapport aux moyens actuellement utilisés.  The combination of these components in order to restore in time deferred from the initial production electrical energy after having stored by use of compressed air or other non-polluting gas and recovery of gravitational energy in the form of Archimedes' thrust constitutes the innovative character of this invention compared to the means currently used.

1.4 Présentation des différentes planches et figures constituant les dessins Planche 1: ROUE A AIR COMPRIME (Figures 1 & 2) Des compartiments (11) capables d'emprisonner le flux de gaz qui par poussée d'Archimède est soumis à une force verticale, sont disposés sur le pourtour de la roue. Pour cela ils doivent former une cavité qui selon les positions se remplissent (moins 45 ), 1 emprisonnent (0 ) puis libère le gaz (plus 45 ) selon l'angle par rapport à l'horizontale.  1.4 Presentation of the different plates and figures constituting the drawings Plate 1: COMPRESSED AIR WHEEL (Figures 1 & 2) Compartments (11) capable of trapping the gas flow which by Archimedes' thrust is subjected to a vertical force, are arranged on the circumference of the wheel. For that they must form a cavity which according to the positions are filled (less 45), 1 trap (0) then releases the gas (plus 45) according to the angle relative to the horizontal.

Afin de maîtriser la vitesse de rotation de la roue et de la réguler, des masses d'inertie (12) sont positionnées aux extrémités de cette roue. La puissance fournie est proportionnelle aux 5 dimensions de la roue et de ces masses.  In order to control the speed of rotation of the wheel and to regulate it, masses of inertia (12) are positioned at the ends of this wheel. The power supplied is proportional to the dimensions of the wheel and these masses.

Planche 2: ROUE A AIR PLACEE EN MILIEU LIQUIDE Cette figure montre comment l'air doit être orienté pour provoquer cette rotation: arrivée à faible pression en partie basse et légèrement à droite de la roue. Une canalisation de 10 l'échappement de l'air est à prévoir pour éviter trop de déperditions.  Plate 2: AIR WHEEL PLACED IN A LIQUID ENVIRONMENT This figure shows how the air must be oriented to cause this rotation: low pressure arrival at the bottom and slightly to the right of the wheel. An air exhaust duct should be provided to prevent too much leakage.

-4- Récupérateur de chaleur pour chauffage eau ou habitation La compression de l'air provoque un échauffement important correspondant à la consommation électrique du compresseur. Cette source de chaleur est récupérable par un circuit qui doit assurer une fonction de refroidissement du compresseur.
