Abstract

The device has a stock of string (3) stored at a higher altitude (2), where an end of the string is positioned at a lower altitude (4). A mechanical device with a reversible electric generator (1) controls the speed of descent of the stored string forming a mass at the lower altitude, where electrical energy produced is related to the weight of the string between the two altitudes and the length of the string. The mechanical device includes a windlass connected to a gear train of the electric generator.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de stockage d'énergie potentielle de pesanteur ; ce dispositif est mécanique ,il permet de produire de l'électricité au cours d'un cycle de stockage et de déstockage La technique actuelle permet de transformer en électricité ,l'énergie cinétique ,ou énergie de mouvement ,restituée par une masse se déplaçant d'une altitude A vers une altitude B sous l'effet de la pesanteur ,l'énergie restituée est liée a la différence de hauteur entre les deux altitudes et l'importance de la masse . La solution que je présente consiste à utiliser une longue chaine qui est stockée a une altitude A . Un bout de la chaine est positionne à une altitude B plus basse . Un dispositif mécanique avec générateur électrique commande et contrôle la descente de la chaîne qui forme un tas à l'altitude la plus basse . La chaine entre les deux altitudes est en permanence renouvelée ,sa vitesse est calculée a partir de différents paramètres . La quantité d'énergie disponible est liée au stock de chaine prêt a descendre vers l'altitude la plus basse ; pour la connaître il faut prendre en compte le poids de la chaine entre les deux altitudes et la longueur du stock de chaîne . Les dessins annexes illustrent d'une façon schématique l'invention . La figure 1 représente le cycle de stockage ,avec le dispositif mécanique et le générateur électrique ( 1 ) situes à l'altitude A (2 ) , le stock de chaîne ( 3 ) et l'altitude B ( 4 ) . La figure 2 représente le cycle de déstockage avec le stock de chaîne (5 ) a l'altitude B . Exemple d'un mode de réalisation . Une unité de production serait composée de 24 chaînes d'une longueur pour chaque chaine de 100 km ,avec un poids de 0,36 tonne le ml ,les maillons de chaines sont en fer mais l'intérieur peut être en béton lourd . les chaînes descendent dans un puits de 1000 m de profondeur ,le bas du puits a un volume plus grand en forme de "bouteille" . Le dispositif mécanique est compose d'un guindeau (treuil de bateau) relie par un train d'engrenage a un générateur électrique réversible . Ce dispositif est particulièrement destiné a être implante a proximité de centres de distributions d'électricité ,avec un cycle de stockage lorsque la consommation, est basse ,par exemple la nuit ,et redistribuée lors des pics de consommation ,ou ,le manque de vent dans le cas d'un parc d'éolienne . The present invention relates to a gravity potential energy storage device; this device is mechanical, it allows to produce electricity during a storage cycle and destocking The current technique can convert into electricity, kinetic energy, or movement energy, restored by a moving mass d An altitude A to an altitude B under the effect of gravity, the energy restored is related to the difference in height between the two altitudes and the importance of the mass. The solution I present is to use a long chain that is stored at an altitude A. One end of the chain is positioned at a lower altitude B. A mechanical device with an electric generator controls and controls the descent of the chain that forms a pile at the lowest altitude. The chain between the two altitudes is constantly renewed, its speed is calculated from different parameters. The amount of energy available is linked to the chain stock ready to go down to the lowest altitude; to know it we must take into account the weight of the chain between the two altitudes and the length of the chain stock. The accompanying drawings illustrate schematically the invention. Figure 1 shows the storage cycle, with the mechanical device and the electric generator (1) located at altitude A (2), the chain stock (3) and the altitude B (4). Figure 2 shows the destocking cycle with chain stock (5) at altitude B. Example of an embodiment. A production unit would consist of 24 chains of one length for each chain of 100 km, with a weight of 0.36 ton per ml, chain links are made of iron but the interior can be heavy concrete. the chains descend into a well of 1000 m depth, the bottom of the well has a larger volume in the form of "bottle". The mechanical device consists of a windlass (boat winch) connected by a gear train to a reversible electric generator. This device is particularly intended to be implanted near power distribution centers, with a storage cycle when consumption, is low, for example at night, and redistributed during consumption peaks, or, the lack of wind in the case of a wind farm.
