A.L.E.T.TO.NE. Sistema meccanico per la generazione di energia dal moto ondoso A.L.E.T.TO.NE. Mechanical system for the generation of energy from wave motion
Campo della tecnica a cui l'invenzione fa riferimento Field of the art to which the invention refers
E’ in pieno sviluppo un nuovo campo della tecnica mirato a generare energia elettrica alternativa a quella ricavata dai combustibili fossili e nucleari. A new field of technology aimed at generating alternative electricity to that obtained from fossil and nuclear fuels is in full development.
L’invenzione in oggetto può essere quindi inserita nel campo della tecnica delle energie rinnovabili. The invention in question can therefore be inserted in the field of renewable energy technology.

I seguenti brevetti possono essere riconducibili alla generazione di energia elettrica tramite moto ondoso: The following patents can be traced back to the generation of electricity by wave motion:

Stato della tecnica State of the art
Esistono sistemi di generazione di energia dal moto ondoso che hanno un funzionamento ottimale con treni d’onda regolari e di notevole altezza. In Italia è in corso di costruzione un sistema di generazione conglobato in un’opera di difesa costiera che utilizza la pressione generata dal moto ondoso per creare un flusso d’aria e convogliarla in un aero-generatore. There are wave power generation systems that have an optimal operation with regular wave trains of considerable height. In Italy, a generation system is being built incorporated into a coastal defense work that uses the pressure generated by the wave motion to create a flow of air and convey it to an aerogenerator.
Non risulta in letteratura e nella realtà un generatore che abbia caratteristiche simili a quello in oggetto. Con questa affermazione si intende dire che non vi sono al giorno d’oggi generatori che sfruttano il moto ondoso di altezze significative limitate mediante sistemi basculanti ancorati ad opere marittime o ancorati al fondo del mare. In the literature and in reality there is no generator that has characteristics similar to the one in question. By this statement we mean that today there are no generators that exploit the wave motion of significant limited heights by means of tilting systems anchored to maritime works or anchored to the seabed.
Non esistono soprattutto, in letteratura, giustificazioni teoriche e tecniche quali quelle che sono state sviluppate durante questo progetto e che convalidano l’effettiva operatività del sistema. Above all, in the literature, there are no theoretical and technical justifications such as those developed during this project and which validate the effective operation of the system.
Esposizione dell'invenzione Presentation of the invention
Con lo scopo di sfruttare l’energia del moto ondoso è stato necessario risolvere i seguenti problemi tecnici: In order to exploit the energy of the wave motion, it was necessary to solve the following technical problems:
Individuare un sito ove potere affrancare in sicurezza il sistema e dove il moto ondoso non fosse particolarmente aggressivo; Identify a site where you can safely release the system and where the wave motion was not particularly aggressive;
Studiare un sistema di sfruttamento della massa d’acqua in agitazione senza pregiudizio sulla sua integrità strutturale ed impiantistica; Studying a system of exploitation of the mass of water in agitation without prejudice to its structural and plant integrity;
Studiare un meccanismo adatto a resistere all’aggressività dell’ambiente marino; Studying a mechanism suitable for resisting the aggressiveness of the marine environment;
trovando la seguente soluzione: finding the following solution:
Il sistema è costituito: The system consists of:
o da un complesso articolato in carpenteria metallica; or by a complex articulated in metal carpentry;
o da un sistema meccanico di trasformazione dell’energia alternativa del moto ondoso in energia di rotazione; or by a mechanical system for transforming the alternative energy of wave motion into rotational energy;
o da un sistema di trasmissione dell’energia di rotazione con amplificazione del numero di giri e collegamento ad un generatore in corrente continua; or by a rotation energy transmission system with amplification of the number of revolutions and connection to a direct current generator;
o da una integrazione dei componenti meccanici con una ruota libera e due volani al fine di rendere meno impulsiva ed il più stabile possibile ogni fase attiva di spinta. or by an integration of the mechanical components with a free wheel and two flywheels in order to make each active thrust phase less impulsive and as stable as possible.
Il sistema non trova applicazioni simili nel industria attuale soprattutto con l’adeguato dimensionamento del sistema generatore, sviluppato da professionisti del settore, rispetto al moto ondoso atteso nei mari nazionali. The system does not find similar applications in the current industry, especially with the adequate sizing of the generator system, developed by industry professionals, with respect to the expected wave motion in national seas.
Descrizione sintetica dei disegno Brief description of the drawing
Il complesso articolato in carpenteria metallica (1) è fissato all’opera di difesa marittima. The complex articulated in metal carpentry (1) is fixed to the maritime defense work.
Il compartimento stagno e galleggiante (2) è vincolato con due cerniere al complesso strutturale (1). The watertight and floating compartment (2) is bound by two hinges to the structural complex (1).
Il compartimento stagno (2) è collegato ad un puntone (3) ed a questi trasmette il moto alternativo del moto ondoso. The watertight compartment (2) is connected to a strut (3) and to these transmits the reciprocating motion of the wave motion.
Una biella (4), collegata al puntone (3), trasforma il moto alternato in moto di rotazione. A connecting rod (4), connected to the strut (3), transforms the reciprocating motion into rotational motion.
La biella (4) è collegata ad un asse (5) dotato di volano lento. Questo asse è collegato di seguito ad una ruota libera (6). Questa sfrutta il solo movimento di salita attivo rimanendo in folle nel movimento di discesa. The connecting rod (4) is connected to an axis (5) equipped with a slow flywheel. This axis is then connected to a free wheel (6). This exploits only the active up movement remaining in neutral in the down movement.
La ruota libera (6), inglobata nel riduttore, trasmette il moto rotatorio al generatore di energia elettrica (7). The free wheel (6), incorporated in the reducer, transmits the rotary motion to the electric power generator (7).
Il generatore di energia elettrica (7) ha un controllo elettronico di sistema, tale da annullare la tensione sullo statore nella fase passiva. The electric power generator (7) has an electronic system control, such as to cancel the voltage on the stator in the passive phase.
Termina la linea di trasmissione un volano veloce (8) atto a stabilizzare, insieme al volano lento (5), l’intero congegno. The transmission line ends with a fast flywheel (8) designed to stabilize, together with the slow flywheel (5), the entire device.
Descrizione delle problematiche riscontrate Description of the problems encountered
Il congegno meccanico è relativamente semplice e non sono state riscontrate problematiche particolari se non nella cautela adottata nella scelta dei particolari costruttivi delle cerniere. The mechanical device is relatively simple and no particular problems have been encountered except in the caution adopted in choosing the construction details of the hinges.
Difficoltà sono state riscontrate nel dimensionamento realistico sia delle strutture che dei sistemi di trasmissione della potenza e della generazione di energia. Difficulties were encountered in the realistic sizing of both the structures and the power transmission and energy generation systems.
A suffragio delle considerazioni progettuali sono state svolte con docenti e ricercatori dell’Università degli Studi di Genova, schematizzazioni e verifiche tramite opportuni codici di calcolo. Sono state confermate le potenze previste con i treni d’onda più frequenti sino ad un’altezza significativa di l.Om pari ad uno stato di mare Douglas 4 definito usualmente come “molto mosso”. In support of the design considerations, schematizations and verifications using appropriate calculation codes were carried out with professors and researchers of the University of Genoa. The expected powers have been confirmed with the most frequent wave trains up to a significant height of l.Om equal to a Douglas 4 sea state usually defined as "very rough".
Utilizzazione in ambito industriale Use in the industrial field
Il sistema trova immediata applicazione su larga scala: The system finds immediate application on a large scale:
- perché installabile su tutte le opere marittime sottoflutto e quindi soggette a stati di mare non particolarmente gravosi; - because it can be installed on all maritime works under the sea and therefore subject to sea conditions that are not particularly burdensome;
- perché non è trascurabile l’energia generata anche con onde relative a stati di mare non particolarmente sviluppati e comunque non aggressivi e compresi entro altezze significative inferiori a 1.5m. - because the energy generated even with waves relating to sea states that are not particularly developed and in any case non-aggressive and included within significant heights of less than 1.5m is not negligible.
La potenza generata con onde regolari e calcolata con una simulazione teorica sviluppata dall’ Università di Genova è risultata infatti la seguente. The power generated with regular waves and calculated with a theoretical simulation developed by the University of Genoa was in fact the following.
o Altezza signif.va Hs - 0.5 m - Potenza generata 3.0 kW o Significant height Hs - 0.5 m - Generated power 3.0 kW
o Altezza signif.va Hs = 1.0 m - Potenza generata 5.0 kW o Significant height Hs = 1.0 m - Generated power 5.0 kW
o Altezza signif.va Hs = 1.5 m - Potenza generata 8.0 kW o Significant height Hs = 1.5 m - Generated power 8.0 kW
L’applicazione su strutture più esposte a stati di mare completamente sviluppati è possibile tramite alcuni accorgimenti meccanici marginali che devono essere oggetto di particolare attenzione nel dimensionamento di ogni sito. Application on structures more exposed to fully developed sea states is possible through some marginal mechanical measures that must be the subject of particular attention in the sizing of each site.
