Description

本発明は、海流に乗って回遊する浮体構造物、及び、浮体構造物による回遊システムに関する。   The present invention relates to a floating structure that travels on an ocean current and a migration system using the floating structure.

海上に人工の浮体構造物(人工島)を構築し、浮体構造物に太陽光発電設備や風力発電設備、潮流発電設備を備える技術が従来から提案されている(特許文献1)。人工島を用いて発電等を行うことで、再生エネルギーを用いたエネルギー生産(発電)を比較的容易に行うことができる。   2. Description of the Related Art A technique of constructing an artificial floating structure (artificial island) on the sea and providing the floating structure with a solar power generation facility, a wind power generation facility, and a tidal power generation facility has been conventionally proposed (Patent Document 1). By performing power generation or the like using an artificial island, energy production (power generation) using renewable energy can be performed relatively easily.

海上に人工島を構築した場合、漁業事業者に対する影響、環境への影響等が考えられるため、普及には限界があるのが現状であった。また、領土の問題が生じる虞があり、生産されたエネルギーは国内で消費されるに過ぎないのが現状であった。このため、地球規模で考えた場合、海洋を利用したエネルギーの生産や食糧の生産、資源の開発等は、多くの技術を適用することができる余地があるのが実情である。   At present, there is a limit to the spread of artificial islands on the sea because the impact on fishery operators and the environment can be considered. In addition, there is a possibility that territorial problems may occur, and the current situation is that the produced energy is only consumed domestically. For this reason, when considered on a global scale, there is room for many technologies to be used for energy production, food production, resource development, and the like using the ocean.

図8に基づいて中央制御手段7での動作の全体の状況を具体的に説明して本発明の浮体構造物による回遊システムを説明する。図8には中央制御手段7の機能を説明するブロック構成を示してある。   The overall situation of the operation of the central control means 7 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 8 to describe the excursion system using the floating structure of the present invention. FIG. 8 shows a block configuration for explaining the function of the central control means 7.

図3から図7を例に具体的に説明したように、浮体構造物1は、作業手段として、再生可能エネルギーにより発電を行う発電手段と、海中の資源を回収する資源回収手段と、海水を真水に変換する淡水化手段と、前記淡水化手段で得られた水を前記発電手段で発電された電力により分解して、水素と酸素を得る分解手段と、前記分解手段で分解された酸素を海中に投入して海水の溶存酸素を調整する環境修復手段と、前記淡水化手段で得られた真水、もしくは、海水を蒸発した水を用いて作物を育てる作物生産手段と、海底部の海水を浮上させて表層近傍の海水温度を低下させる水温調整手段を備えている。   As specifically described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 7 as an example, the floating structure 1 includes, as working means, a power generating means for generating power using renewable energy, a resource recovering means for recovering undersea resources, and seawater. Desalination means for converting to fresh water, decomposition means for decomposing the water obtained by the desalination means with the electric power generated by the power generation means to obtain hydrogen and oxygen, and oxygen decomposed by the decomposition means Environmental restoration means for adjusting dissolved oxygen in seawater by being introduced into the sea, fresh water obtained by the desalination means, or a crop production means for growing crops using water obtained by evaporating seawater, and seawater at the bottom of the sea. A water temperature adjusting means is provided for lowering the seawater temperature near the surface layer by floating.

そして、図8に示すように、移動手段、制御手段、発電手段、資源回収手段、淡水化手段、分解手段、環境修復手段、作物生産手段、水温調整手段の制御を統括して行う中央制御手段7が備えられている。   Then, as shown in FIG. 8, central control means for integrally controlling the moving means, control means, power generation means, resource recovery means, desalination means, decomposition means, environmental restoration means, crop production means, and water temperature adjustment means. 7 are provided.

中央制御手段7からは、浮体構造物1(本体)の位置を監視し、発電手段の駆動を調整し、浮体構造物1の位置に応じて資源回収手段により海中の資源を回収する指令が与えられ、淡水化手段で真水を得る指令が与えられる。   The central control means 7 monitors the position of the floating structure 1 (main body), adjusts the driving of the power generating means, and gives a command to recover undersea resources by the resource recovery means according to the position of the floating structure 1. Then, a command to obtain fresh water by the desalination means is given.

また、中央制御手段7からの指令により、浮体構造物1の位置が海流から逸脱した際に、発電手段で発電された電力により、もしくは、分解手段での電気分解で得られたHを燃料として、駆動源が駆動され、浮体構造物1が海流の位置に移動される。 The fuel according to a command from the central control unit 7, when the position of the floating construction 1 has deviated from the ocean currents, the power generated by the power generating means, or of H 2 obtained by electrolysis in decomposing means As a result, the driving source is driven, and the floating structure 1 is moved to the position of the ocean current.

また、中央制御手段7からの指令により、淡水化手段で得られた真水が作物に供給され、溶存酸素を高める必要がある海域において分解手段での電気分解で得られたOが海中に投入される。また、水温調整手段により台風の発生が予想される海域の海水温度が調整される。 In addition, according to a command from the central control means 7, fresh water obtained by the desalination means is supplied to the crop, and O 2 obtained by electrolysis by the decomposition means is introduced into the sea in a sea area where dissolved oxygen needs to be increased. Is done. Further, the seawater temperature in a sea area where a typhoon is expected to be generated is adjusted by the water temperature adjusting means.

更に、中央制御手段7から制御手段6に指令が与えられ、発電手段で得られた電力、淡水化手段で得られた真水、分解手段で得られたHとO、作物生産手段で育てられた作物、資源回収手段で回収された資源が、海流の経路に沿った所望の地域で分配される。 Further, a command is given from the central control means 7 to the control means 6, the electric power obtained by the power generation means, the fresh water obtained by the desalination means, the H 2 and O 2 obtained by the decomposition means, and the growing by the crop production means. The harvested crops and resources recovered by the resource recovery means are distributed in desired areas along the ocean current route.

このため、浮体構造物1が海流に乗って回遊し、海流から外れたことが位置把握手段(例えば、GPSシステム)で検出された場合に、移動手段(推進手段5)により浮体構造物1を海流に乗せることができる。つまり、発電手段により、再生可能エネルギー、例えば、太陽光で発電が行われ(エネルギー生産)、浮体構造物1が海流から外れた(外れそうになった)際には、発電手段で得られた電力(電気分解で得られたH)により移動手段が駆動されて浮体構造物1が海流の領域に移動する。 For this reason, when it is detected by the position grasping means (for example, a GPS system) that the floating structure 1 travels on the ocean current and deviates from the ocean current, the floating structure 1 is moved by the moving means (propulsion means 5). Can be placed on the ocean current. In other words, when the power generating means generates power using renewable energy, for example, sunlight (energy production), and the floating structure 1 comes out of the ocean current (is about to come off), it is obtained by the power generating means. The moving means is driven by electric power (H 2 obtained by electrolysis), and the floating structure 1 moves to the area of the ocean current.

そして、中央制御手段7からの指令により、作業手段での作業(発電等のエネルギー生産、食糧生産、資源開発、水生産、環境修復、防災等)を実施することができる。   Then, according to a command from the central control means 7, work by the working means (energy production such as power generation, food production, resource development, water production, environmental restoration, disaster prevention, etc.) can be performed.

即ち、資源回収手段により海中の資源が回収され、例えば、深海の海水を浮上させる手段等で一時的に水温を調整し、台風の発生を抑制することができる(防災)。また、淡水化手段と淡水化手段で得られた真水を電気分解してHとOを得る分解手段とを有することで、海水からの真水の生産(水生産)、燃料の生産、Oの生産を行うことができ、環境修復手段により、分解手段で得られたOを海中に投入することで、投入した領域の海水の溶存酸素濃度を調整することができる。更に、淡水化手段で得られた真水を用いて、作物生産手段により作物を育てることができる(食糧生産)。 That is, the underwater resources are recovered by the resource recovery means, and for example, the temperature of the water can be temporarily adjusted by means of floating deep seawater to suppress the occurrence of a typhoon (disaster prevention). Further, by having a desalination means and a decomposition means for electrolyzing fresh water obtained by the desalination means to obtain H 2 and O 2 , production of fresh water from seawater (water production), production of fuel, can be performed 2 production, environmental remediation means, the O 2 obtained by the decomposing means by introducing into the sea, it is possible to adjust the dissolved oxygen concentration in the seawater introduced regions. Furthermore, crops can be grown by crop production means using fresh water obtained by desalination means (food production).

上述したように、浮体構造物による回遊システムでは、中央制御手段7による制御により、浮体構造物1の位置が監視され、発電手段の駆動が調整され、浮体構造物1の位置に応じて資源回収手段により海中の資源を回収する指令が与えられ、淡水化手段で真水を得る指令が与えられ、浮体構造物1の位置が海流から逸脱した際に、発電手段で発電された電力により浮体構造物1が海流の領域に移動される。   As described above, in the migrating system using the floating structure, the position of the floating structure 1 is monitored by the control of the central control unit 7, the driving of the power generation unit is adjusted, and the resources are collected according to the position of the floating structure 1. Means for recovering the underwater resources by means, instructions for obtaining fresh water by means of desalination means, and when the position of the floating structure 1 deviates from the ocean current, the floating structure is generated by the power generated by the power generating means. 1 is moved to the area of the ocean current.

そして、中央制御手段7による制御により、淡水化手段で得られた真水が作物に供給され、溶存酸素を高める必要がある海域において分解手段で分解されたOが海中に投入され、台風の発生が予想される海域の海水温度が調整され、更に、制御手段6に指令を与えられて、発電手段で得られた電力、淡水化手段で得られた真水、作物生産手段で育てられた作物、資源回収手段で回収された資源が、海流の経路に沿った所望の地域で分配される。 Then, under control of the central control unit 7, fresh water obtained by the desalination means is supplied to the crops, O 2 decomposed by decomposing means in waters where there is a need to increase the dissolved oxygen is turned into the sea, TC genesis The seawater temperature of the sea area where is expected is adjusted, and further, a command is given to the control means 6, the electric power obtained by the power generation means, the fresh water obtained by the desalination means, the crop grown by the crop production means, The resources recovered by the resource recovery means are distributed in desired areas along the course of the ocean current.

このように、浮体構造物1を海流に乗せて回遊させることで、発電等のエネルギー生産、食糧生産、資源開発、水生産、環境修復、防災等のそれぞれの作業を、移動中に任意の場所で実施することができる。このため、所望の場所(地域)で発電等のエネルギー生産、食糧生産、資源開発、水生産、環境修復、防災等を実施し、所望の場所(地域)に発電等のエネルギー生産、食糧生産、資源開発、水生産、環境修復、防災等の成果物を配分することができる。   In this way, by moving the floating structure 1 on the ocean current and migrating, it is possible to perform various operations such as energy production such as power generation, food production, resource development, water production, environmental restoration, disaster prevention, etc., at any place during the movement. Can be implemented. For this reason, energy production such as power generation, food production, resource development, water production, environmental restoration, disaster prevention, etc. are carried out at a desired place (region), and energy production such as power generation, food production, Products such as resource development, water production, environmental remediation, disaster prevention can be allocated.

これにより、発電等のエネルギー生産、食糧生産、資源開発、水生産、環境修復、防災等の製造設備を一つの地域に固定して構築する必要がなくなる。そして、電力等のエネルギー生産、食糧生産、資源開発、水生産、環境修復、防災等の成果物を搬送する輸送機器や輸送設備等の大規模なインフラを整備する必要がなくなる。   As a result, there is no need to fix and build production facilities for energy production such as power generation, food production, resource development, water production, environmental restoration, disaster prevention, etc. in one area. In addition, there is no need to develop large-scale infrastructure such as transport equipment and facilities for transporting products such as energy production such as electric power, food production, resource development, water production, environmental restoration, and disaster prevention.

この結果、回遊する浮体構造物、及び、浮体構造物による回遊システムを用いることで、海洋を地球規模で利用して自然環境に由来する作業を行うことができ、作業の成果を適宜分配することが可能になる。   As a result, by using the floating structure that migrates and the migration system using the floating structure, it is possible to use the ocean on a global scale to perform work derived from the natural environment, and to distribute the results of the work as appropriate. Becomes possible.
