Description

POWER PLANT USING COMPRESSED AIR FOR WINDMILL
POWER PRODUCTION
The present invention relates to a power plant for power production. The present power plant is embodied in the appended drawings, in which :
FIG. 1 is a main view of present power plant,
FIG. 2 (Detail view 1) embodies energy source for start-up of portable power plant,
FIG. 3 (Detail view 2) embodies compressor,
FIG. 4 (Detail view 3) embodies pressure tank/pressure space,
FIG. 5 (Detail view 4) embodies air transmission to air nozzles,
FIG. 6 (Detail view 5) embodies air transport to windmill and power supply further to end user,
FIG. 7 (Detail view 6) embodies control unit/control panel, and
FIG. 8 (Detail view 7) is a top view of power plant. The objective of the present power plant is to utilize a power source for production of compressed air for operating windmill(s) for power
production.
This objective is achieved by the power plant indicated in the independent claim 1. Further features are indicated in the dependent claims 2-7.
The present power plant utilizes alternative energy source or other energy source as power supplier to compressor. Compressed air from compressor will be stored either in pressure space or pressure tank. The air in pressure tank/pressure space is transported through air hoses/air pipes to adjustable air nozzles, wherein, among others, air pressure and the thickness of the air jet both can be adjusted from a control unit/control panel. The opening of the air nozzle is adjusted from the control unit/control panel wherein also

Claims

PATENT CLAIMS
1. Power plant, characterized in providing a soiar energy unit/solar panel (1) or another similar energy source unit for generating power supply (2) to a compressor (3) wherein air is introduced, leading compressed air (4) to a pressure space/pressure tank (5) and leading pressurized air to at least one windmill (7) for generating power supply ( 11) to end user.
2. Power plant according to claim 1, wherein a control unit/control panel ( 10) with a power supply (8) from the solar energy unit/solar panel (1) is provided.
3. Power plant according to claim 1 or 2, wherein an additional power supply (9) from the windmills (7) to the control unit/control panel ( 10) also can be provided.
4. Power plant according to any of claims 1-3, wherein the control unit/control panel ( 10) adjusts the supply of the pressurized air by means of an air nozzle device for generating air flow to the windmills (7).
5. Power plant according to any of claims 1-4, wherein the air nozzle device has one or more adjustable air nozzles ( 12) assembled on racks which again can be adjusted in direction of height.
6. Power plant according to any of claims 1-5, wherein the air nozzles (12) have electric joints for adjusting angle and opening thereof.
7. Power plant according to any of claims 1-6, wherein the air nozzles ( 12) and windmills (7) have electric motors for adjusting nozzle distance to the windmills (7) and for adjusting distance between the windmills (7). 2 air pressure and air interval are controlled. By the term air interval, intermittent air should be understood. Angle of air nozzle as well as distance to windmill are adjusted from the control unit/control panel.
The air nozzles are assembled on racks which again are attached to electric motor which again is connected to a transport rail for adjustment of direction of height, distance and angle in relation to rotor blades of the windmill. The number of windmills both in length and in width is unlimited as this is controlled by the size of air production and the size of pressure tank/pressure space, i.e., that the facility can be produced as portable power plant to stationary power plants. The windmills can be assembled on rails so that these also can be adjusted in length and in width. Height and angle are also adjusted in relation to air nozzles in order to obtain
maximum energy production in relation to the air flows from the air nozzles. All of the units are separate and controlled from the control panel, i.e., they are controlled independently of each other. From the control unit/control panel, all settings are controlled and each individual unit is numbered and will be operated independently of each other. Thus, maintenance, repairs and power production can then be adjusted according to need and demand.
The present power plant can be utilized everywhere where there is a need for power production where there is a need for alternative energy source or other energy source for supplying of power to the plant and for power production, and thus, the power plant can be utilized on land, at sea, on trains and airplanes, etc., as well as in subterranean formations. Energy source for start-up of power plant(s) which can be portable, can be any kind of energy sources, such as solar energy or other energy source, or also combinations of several thereof.
