theFiures Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a mobile power supply unit.
Figure 2 shows a bock system diagram of a mobile power supply system contained in a mobile power supply unit.
ofteFiures Figure 1 shows a mobile power supply unit (also known as a TriGenerator) generally indicated by 1 incorporating a trailer? and an open solar panel array 3. The solar panel array 3 contains four solar panels, which are attached together via hinges. En use, the solar panel array 3 sits in a raised position on trailer? by a number of supporting stands 4. Two of the supporting stands incorporate rams 4a, which raise the solar panel array 3 to the inclined position shown. The trailer? has two oppositely located wheels 5. The mobile power supply unit 1 also incorporates an electdcal swrage means (not shown), micro steam turbine module connected to an electrical power generator (neither is shown), and a battery system along with a battery management system (neither is shown).
Figure 2 shows a block system diagram of a mobile power supply system contained in a trailer shown in Figure 1. The mobile power supply system incorporates an arra y 3 of solar panels 6, typically of the High Concentrated Photovoltaic (HCPV) type. The solar panels 6 are connected in a serpentine configuration and are arranged to capture solar radiation, One end ol the solar array 3 provides electrical input to an electrical storage means such as a battery bank 7. The electrical input to the battery bank 7 is controlled via a switch 8. Connection between the solar panels 6 and battery bank 7 means is via an electrical wire or cable.
The opposite end of the solar panel array 3 is connected to a vaporiser 9 via a vacuum tube 10, The vaporiser 9 is connected to both a steam turbine ii and to a condenser 12 which condenser itself feeds into the steam turbine 11. The vaporiser 9 is also indirectly connected to the condenser 1? via cold and hot elements 13 and 14, and an economiser moduLe 15. The economiser module 15 is connected to the condenser 12. The steam turbine 11 is subsequently connected to an electrical generator 16. Connections between cold, hot and economiser elements as well as the condenser, vaporiser, turbine and generator are via conduits known in the art, The battery bank 7, vaporiser 9 and generator 16 are each connected to a battery management element 17 which controls the overall electrical output of the mobile power supply system. The battery management element 17 also incorporates an inverter which converts the Direct Current (DC) electrical power from the battery to an Alternating Current (AC) for subsequent use at the electrical output of the unit, The mobile power supply unit is dependent upon the interaction of the three core elements that make up the power storage and output capability. These are HCPV solar paneLs, a micro steam turbine, and batteries. In addition, in a preferred embodiment there is included a battery management system. These elements enable the urt to provide a balanced and consistent power output utilising the three elements to exchange power between them.
B
The power output source for the generator is the micro steam turbine: initially for startup and subsequently at least partially on running the turbine, is dependent on the combined electrical and heat output from the HPCV solar array. The steam turbine operates at 18020O degrees centigrade during normal operation.
Depending on ambient temperature and weather conditions further heat input augmentation is provided by the battery bank until the HCPV array is able to reed the correct operating temperature in to the micro steam turbine vaporiser.
The vaporiser has two heat inputs. An electric heating element draws power from the solar array and if required, the battery bank. The secondary element is a heat pipe system that feeds waste heat from the solar array into the vaporiser. Typically the heat generated by the HCPV array is sufficient to heat fluid to around 120 OC; this is then subsequently fed into a vaporiser and heated further up by the electdcal power produced by the HCPV array.
Once normal operation has been achieved at least 50% of the electrical power produced by the HPCV array can be switched back to recharging and topping up the battery bank, n addition to this the micro steam turbine element is producing some 1045% more power than required on output this is also r&routed back onto the battery bank.
nhtim.rr In addition to normal daylight operation the unit offers the distinct advantage of being able to operate both at night and in extreme tow light conditions. Under these conditions power to the vaporiser is provided by the battery bank only.
Operation in this mode is Umited to the size of the battery bank on the generator as the battery management system will. not allow the battery to go into a deep discharge cycle.
4 deep discharge cycle is defined by the effect on where the battery is effectively discharged to the point of being almost fiat, this has a negative impact on both the electrolyte and the S materials making up the celL A deep discharge weakens the cells abllfty to both regain rate of charge, capacity and efficient discharge and in effect the batty becomes electrically unbalanced.
The advantage of this configuration is that it provides a mobile power supply unit that may function effectively in low light conditions or at night as well as in light conditions, n both daylight and in low fight conditions or at night the mobile power supply unit is able to produce electrical energy and heat energy via a combination of the solar array, steam turbine and electrical storage means. in daylight, the solar array captures solar radiation which can be ufiUsed for electrical and heat output, via the steam turbine., as well as stored in the electrical storage means. In low light or night conditions the power for the vaporiser heating element is provided by the electrical storage means which has been charged during light conditions.
This is particularly advantageous because the electricity used to power the vaporiser heating element to provide output via the steam turbine will be significantly less compared to electricity consumed from directly discharging the battery for electrical output.
Furthermore, the following elements of the mobile power supply unit, provides the following advantages: Steam Turbine: The steam turbine allows the generator to match conventional dieseipetrol -generators both in overall size and comparable power output, and the ability to provide useable power over significant periods of time without being solely reliant on recharging or topping up the batteries from the solar array.
* The steam turbine also provides a means of signiFicantly reducing the number of batteries required.
jotendeconomisermduLes: The turbine is steam powered and therefore introduces the additional element of water and Issues relating to an economic rate of use, The turbine system itself has S been optimised for maximum rate of recovery after vaporization, the modules wfthin the system allow for this process.
Furthermore the modules provide a significant through put of hot water when coupled to external supplies. flni
The battery management system described elsewhere in this document is critical to the successful operation of the of the tn generator unit as it is capable of managing bath the consistent power input and output horn the micro steam turbine and providing the necessary sensitivity in extracting maximum charging power from the LW array.
AU main core systems within the generator architecture are P addressable which means that the unit can be fully monitored and controlled from remote Locations if required.
The battery management system sits directly on top of the battery bank and consists of a series of microprocessors that has control of each individual battery down to cell level, No two batteries are alike, therefore no two will have the same ampere-hour capacity or the same voltage at the same state of charge, or the same state of charge after capacity is drawn from the battery. Ideally, this means no equal voltage, current or total ampere4iours should be forced into each cell during charge, all must therefore be treated indMdualiy The system starts to operate as soon as the voltage across the cell reaches a set point, and gradually starts conducting current; the system has sharper turn on curve, higher current handling capability and indication of its status. It is adjustable and capable of talking to the charger, optionally throttling it down when bypassing begins. When such device is permanently connected to the battery, it has no impact until the battery voltage reaches its set point.
Such a condition is possible only during a charge cycle. When that happens, the system begins bypassing portion of the charging current such that the current still going through the battery keeps its voltage at the same value. The sum of all the voltages across all sensor throttles in series should be more than output voltage of the charger; otherwise all of the celLs will be bypassing the current wasting energy and not allowing full charge. The sensor throttles are connected in series; this dictates opto--isolation of the line connected to the charger. ii
in order to maximize the battery's capacity and to prevent Localized under-charging or over-charging, the system actively ensures the cells that make up the battery are kept at the same state of charge. This is achieved by moving energy from the most charged cells to the Least charged ones, reducing the charging current to a Level that will not damage fully charged cells; while under charged cells continue to charge.
Individual cells within a battery have differing capacities and can be at different levels of charge Without redistribution, discharging needs to cease when the cell wfth the lowest capacity is emp (even though other cells are still not empty); this Omits the energy that can be taken from and returned to the battery.
By balandng the power of the battery, the cells with the smallest capacity can be topped up without overcharging any other cell, and can be emptied without over-discharging any other cell. Power equalization is achieved by transferring energy from or to individual cells, until the state of charge of the cell with the lowest capacity is equal to the battery's state of charge A controller board is installed at each cell, with just a single data bus cable between the battery and a controller, each handing a cetain number of cells, which communicate with each other.
The core element of the system is the control structure or hardware software stack combination, The daughter board's hardwaresoftware combination allows interlacing and both the extension and embedding of high level computer Language such as Prolog into a number of different computer languages such as C, C++, Java, VB, Delphi, .NET and any language/environment which can call a 411 The system is capable of monitoring the various different states of the battery such as the following.
Total voltage, voltage of periodic taps, or voltages of individual cells Average temperature, air intake temperature, air output temperature, temperatures of individual cells State of charge indicating the charge level of the battery State of Health a various1ydefined measurement of the overall condition of the battery Air flow: for air cooled batteries Current: current!n or out of the battery Maximum charge current as a Charge Current Limit S Maximum discharge current as a Discharge Current Urnit) n alternative embodiments of the invention, the following features may be provided as follows, A frequency synchronisation supply unit is retained within the unit, therefore enabling the unit to couple into an existing power network, Or, alternatively it would allow two or more units to be coupled together to provide an augmented source of electrical power which may be required for larger power networks with larger power demands.

This may be due to power demands, such as recharging additional battery packs and/or additional heating elements required to heat the fluid for one or more additional steam turbines.
A Global Positioning Sensor (GPS) may be required to monitor the geographic location of the unit.
A Mobile network and or sateLlite net transmitter / receiver means to ensure communication the unit is established at all times and are powered from the on board batteries.
