TESTO DELLA DESCRIZIONE TEXT OF THE DESCRIPTION

L'invenzione concerne in un impianto per la produzione di energia elettrica, che nella seguente descrizione è stato costruito singolarmente ma che può essere realizzato -anche in serie. The invention relates to a plant for the production of electrical energy, which in the following description has been built individually but which can also be produced in series.

E' noto che ad oggi uno dei problemi della nostra società è la crescente richiesta di energia generata da fonti, che per la loro caratteristica intrinseca, non sono "esauribili" e il cui utilizzo non pregiudica le risorse naturali sia per le generazioni odierne che per le generazioni future. Scopo della presente invenzione è quello di realizzare un impianto per la produzione di energia elettrica attraverso: l'aspirazione, la dissalazione, la raccolta, l'accumulo e l'utilizzo dell'acqua dei mari e/o degli oceani. It is well known that today one of the problems of our society is the growing demand for energy generated by sources, which due to their intrinsic characteristic, are not "exhaustible" and whose use does not jeopardize natural resources both for today's generations and for future generations. The purpose of the present invention is that of realizing a plant for the production of electrical energy through: suction, desalination, collection, accumulation and use of water from the seas and / or oceans.

Tale invenzione viene localizzata, in parte, in prossimità del mare e/o dell'oceano, dove trovano ubicazione i componenti e i mezzi necessari all'aspirazione, al trattamento e alla raccolta dell'acqua, ed in parte, in collina, in montagna o su altopiani, dove avviene l’accumulo dell'acqua; posizione strategica per il necessario approvvigionamento dell'acqua stessa alle turbine della centrale idroelettrica posta a valle. This invention is located, in part, near the sea and / or the ocean, where the components and means necessary for the aspiration, treatment and collection of water are located, and in part, in the hills, mountains or on highlands, where water accumulates; strategic position for the necessary water supply to the turbines of the hydroelectric plant located downstream.

Infine, per l'utilizzo in aree dove non è possibile aspirare l'acqua dai mari e/o dagli oceani, l'impianto, secondo l'invenzione, prevede l'aspirazione di acqua da laghi e/o da corsi, d'acqua naturali o artificiali. Finally, for use in areas where it is not possible to suck water from the seas and / or oceans, the plant, according to the invention, provides for the suction of water from lakes and / or streams, water natural or artificial.

I vantaggi dell invenzione sono numerosi e rilevanti: The advantages of the invention are numerous and relevant:

- un inverter 13 che converte l'energia elettrica sotto forma di corrente continua prodotta dai moduli fotovoltaici 1, in corrente alternata da poter essere utilizzata per il funzionamento delle pompe 10 e 2 e del dissalatore 3. - an inverter 13 which converts the electrical energy in the form of direct current produced by the photovoltaic modules 1, into alternating current that can be used for the operation of the pumps 10 and 2 and of the watermaker 3.

- una condotta di aspirazione 4 realizzata singolarmente o in possibile variante in serie, in materiale idoneo avente, un'estremità immersa nel mare e/o nell'oceano B alla quale viene applicata un filtro 5 per evitare l'ostruzione della condotta stessa, e l'altra estremità collegata alle pompe di aspirazione 2; - a suction pipe 4 made individually or as a possible variant in series, in suitable material having an end immersed in the sea and / or ocean B to which a filter 5 is applied to avoid obstruction of the pipe itself, and the other end connected to the suction pumps 2;

- pompe di aspirazione 2 e 10 poste in serie per garantire un maggior afflusso di acqua, alimentate con corrente elettrica prodotta dai pannelli solari fotovoltaici 1; - suction pumps 2 and 10 placed in series to ensure a greater inflow of water, powered by electricity produced by the photovoltaic solar panels 1;

- un dissalatore 3 che può essere ad osmosi inversa, ad elettrolisi o ad evapotraspirazione alimentato, ove necessario, con la corrente elettrica prodotta dai pannelli solari fotovoltaici 1 nel quale affluisce l'acqua mediante una condotta forzata 6; - a desalinator 3 which can be reverse osmosis, electrolysis or evapotranspiration fed, where necessary, with the electric current produced by the photovoltaic solar panels 1 into which the water flows through a penstock 6;

- una vasca di raccolta 7 nella quale viene convogliata l'acqua, tramite una condotta forzata 16, dopo essere stata dissalata; - a collection tank 7 into which the water is conveyed, by means of a penstock 16, after having been desalinated;

- un bacino di accumulo 8 naturale o artificiale nel quale viene raccolta l'acqua dissalata tramite una condotta forzata di immissione 9 connessa alle pompe 10, poste in serie, che aspirano l'acqua dalla vasca di raccolta 7; tale bacino 8 deve necessariamente essere localizzato su di un altopiano naturale o artificiale oppure in collina o in montagna e comunque ad una altitudine necessaria al funzionamento delle turbine della centrale idroelettrica C posta a valle; - a natural or artificial storage basin 8 in which the desalinated water is collected through a forced entry conduit 9 connected to the pumps 10, placed in series, which suck the water from the collection tank 7; this basin 8 must necessarily be located on a natural or artificial plateau or on a hill or mountain and in any case at an altitude necessary for the operation of the turbines of the hydroelectric plant C located downstream;
