Description

d’acqua in piena sul mare in caso di mareggiate e la contemporanea produzione di energia elettrica alimentato dal moto ondoso del mare. of water in flood on the sea in the event of storm surges and the simultaneous production of electricity powered by the wave motion of the sea.

La presente invenzione è stata ideata per risolvere i problemi legati ai problemi di deflusso dei corsi d’acqua in occasione di mareggiate e concomitanti episodi di piena del fiume stesso, che normalmente causano allagamenti e danni di vario genere. Contemporaneamente al deflusso dell’acqua si può produrre energia elettrica tramite una turbina alimentata dal flusso dell’ acqua in ritorno verso il mare . The present invention was designed to solve the problems related to the flow problems of water courses during storm surges and concomitant episodes of flooding of the river itself, which normally cause flooding and damage of various kinds. Simultaneously with the outflow of water, electricity can be produced through a turbine powered by the flow of water returning to the sea.

Tale sistema, estremamente semplice, utilizza l’energia cinetica posseduta dalle onde del mare per agevolare il deflusso del fiume che in condizioni normali verrebbe condizionato negativamente dalle onde stesse. This extremely simple system uses the kinetic energy possessed by the waves of the sea to facilitate the outflow of the river which in normal conditions would be negatively affected by the waves themselves.

Descrizione tecnica e funzionamento Technical description and operation

Il sistema si compone nel seguente modo: The system is composed as follows:

lungo il corso del fiume vengono posizionate ima o più vasche di troppo pieno n°3 opportunamente collocate ad un altezza tale per cui appena il corso d’acqua supera una prefissata quota, indicata come quota di pericolo, le vasche n°3 iniziano a travasare. Tali vasche saranno collegate con una condotta forzata di acqua dolce( n° 4) posizionata sul letto del fiume con idoneo sistema di ancoraggio, direttamente al mare ad una quota stabilita. Il sistema sin qui descritto, sarebbe un sistema in equilibrio in quanto la differenza di quota idrostatica fra il pelo libero della vasca e il pelo libero del mare riuscirebbe a malapena contrastare le perdite di carico lungo la condotta di acqua dolce. along the course of the river, one or more overflow tanks n ° 3 are positioned appropriately at a height such that as soon as the watercourse exceeds a predetermined altitude, indicated as a danger level, the tanks n ° 3 begin to pour . These tanks will be connected with a fresh water penstock (n ° 4) positioned on the river bed with a suitable anchoring system, directly to the sea at a set altitude. The system described so far would be a system in equilibrium since the difference in hydrostatic altitude between the free surface of the tank and the free surface of the sea would hardly be able to counteract the pressure drops along the fresh water pipeline.

A questo punto, il sistema che si sta descrivendo, prevede il posizionamento di una serie di cassoni raccogli onda, lungo la riva del mare possibilmente installati in punti strategici che opportunamente dimensionati e sagomati saranno in grado di sfruttare sia l’energia cinetica delle onde sia la quota delle onde stesse che in certi casi raggiunge altezze notevoli. Infatti tali cassoni raccogli onda n°5 sono ubicati ad una altezza equivalente all’ altezza di bassa marea con delle quote stabilite in maniera tale da sfruttare l’altezza delle onde stesse. Questi cassoni ( n° 5) sono poi collegati alla condotta principale con tubi di acqua marina n°6 prelevata dai cassoni stessi che si innestano nella condotta di acqua dolce che diventa a questo punto una tubazione coassiale asimmetrica e progressiva così come riportato in disegno di planimetria n°l. At this point, the system that is being described, provides for the positioning of a series of wave collecting boxes along the seashore, possibly installed in strategic points that, appropriately sized and shaped, will be able to exploit both the kinetic energy of the waves and the share of the waves themselves which in some cases reaches considerable heights. In fact, these wave collection boxes No. 5 are located at a height equivalent to the height of low tide with quotas established in such a way as to exploit the height of the waves themselves. These caissons (n ° 5) are then connected to the main pipeline with seawater pipes n ° 6 taken from the caissons themselves which are inserted into the fresh water pipeline which at this point becomes an asymmetrical and progressive coaxial pipe as shown in the drawing of floor plan n ° l.

Per effetto del carico piezometrico proveniente da tali tubi coassiali ( n°5) anche l’acqua dolce che transita sulla condotta forzata principale n°4 acquista un energia sufficiente per defluire sul mare assicurando così un deflusso ottimale anche in casi di piena e concomitante presenza di mareggiata. Due to the piezometric load coming from these coaxial pipes (n ° 5) also the fresh water that passes through the main penstock n ° 4 acquires sufficient energy to flow into the sea, thus ensuring an optimal flow even in cases of full and concomitant presence. storm.

Una variante al sistema appena descritto può essere così riassunta: la prima parte del sistema rimane uguale e cioè ima serie di vasche di troppo pieno fiume n°3 collegate con una condotta forzata di acqua dolce n°4 direttamente sul mare. Quello che cambia è invece il collegamento dei vari cassoni raccogli onda n°5, che invece di innestarsi singolarmente in diversi punti della condotta di acqua dolce, si collegano singolarmente ad una nuova condotta forzata tubo progressivo di acqua marina n°19 che, quindi raccoglie tutta l’acqua marina proveniente dai diversi tubi di acqua marina proveniente dai cassoni raccogli onda. Il collegamento alla condotta di acqua dolce n°4 avverrà, terminale del tubo n°4 assicurando così il deflusso dell’acqua dolce, grazie all’energia proveniente dall’acqua marina n°19, e al contempo limitando le perdite di carico a quelle conseguenti a due unici innesti. Da questo punto in poi, la condotta di acqua dolce diverrà una condotta coassiale asimmetrica n°7 di acqua mista salata dal mare e dolce dal fiume. A variant to the system just described can be summarized as follows: the first part of the system remains the same, that is a series of river overflow tanks n ° 3 connected with a fresh water penstock n ° 4 directly on the sea. What changes, however, is the connection of the various wave collector boxes n ° 5, which instead of being grafted individually in different points of the fresh water pipeline, are individually connected to a new penstock progressive seawater tube n ° 19 which then collects all the sea water coming from the different sea water pipes coming from the wave collectors. The connection to the fresh water pipe n ° 4 will take place at the end of the pipe n ° 4 thus ensuring the flow of fresh water, thanks to the energy coming from the sea water n ° 19, and at the same time limiting the pressure drops to those resulting from two single grafts. From this point on, the freshwater pipeline will become an asymmetrical coaxial No. 7 pipeline of mixed salt water from the sea and fresh water from the river.

Questo sistema rispetto al precedente assicura un apporto di energia da parte dei cassoni raccogli onda n°5 costante nel tempo, in quanto differenti apporti energetici provenienti dai diversi cassoni vengono compensati e quindi uniformati all’interno della condotta forzata di acqua marinan°19 che in pratica diventerebbe anch’essa una condotta coassiale progressiva e asimmetrica, (questa tipologia di impianto è descritta nel foglio di planimetria 2 ) Compared to the previous one, this system ensures a constant supply of energy by the wave collecting tanks n ° 5, as different energy inputs coming from the different caissons are compensated and therefore standardized inside the penstock of marine water n ° 19 which in practice would also become a progressive and asymmetrical coaxial duct, (this type of plant is described in plan sheet 2)

Il sistema appena descritto può avere i seguenti utilizzi: The system just described can have the following uses:

risolvere i problemi legati ai problemi di deflusso dei corsi d’acqua in occasione di mareggiate e concomitanti episodi di piena del fiume stesso, che normalmente causano allagamenti e danni di vario genere. solve problems related to the flow of watercourses during storm surges and concomitant episodes of flooding of the river itself, which normally cause flooding and damage of various kinds.

Il sistema appena descritto può funzionare anche per produrre energia elettrica. Infatti basta sfruttare l’energia proveniente dai cassoni raccogli onda, non per trascinare l’acqua dolce, ma bensì per azionare una turbina idraulica che alimenta un generatore di corrente The system just described can also work to produce electricity. In fact, it is enough to exploit the energy coming from the wave collecting tanks, not to drag the fresh water, but rather to operate a hydraulic turbine that powers a current generator

Loddo circulates only sea water coming from the ebb of the waves collected in the caissons N ° 5, increasing the speed of circulation of the water when returning to the sea, thus increasing the speed of the hydraulic turbine N ° 21. A variant of the IMP. Loddo just described can be summarized as follows: the first part of the system remains the same, that is a series of overflow tanks connected with a freshwater penstock N ° 4 directly on the sea, pushed towards the seabed by the injections of sea water coming from the progressive coaxial tube N ° 7 . On the other hand, the connection of the caisson or boxes for wave collection changes, which instead of engaging individually in different points and progressively of the fresh water pipeline N ° 4, are individually connected to a new penstock of sea water N ° 19 which, installed parallel to the pipeline N ° 4, and placed one on the right side and one on the left side, they collect all the water coming from the wave collecting boxes N ° 5.
