Description

Supply device of electric power and water from renewable energy sources
Technical Field
The invention relates to a device for supplying energy and water, by means of which a house, a country villa or a construction site can be supplied with electric power and sufficient drinking water in a self-sufficient manner and, if necessary, from a public or private electric power and water installation. Sunlight and wind power can be used to power this supply, and water can be taken from nearby sources such as lakes, rivers or canals or from ground water.
Background
For a household residing in an apartment or a house for daily consumption and maintenance, i.e. daily use of the electric energy requirements of vacuum cleaners, electric cooking appliances, gardening pruning equipment, food processors, refrigerators and the like, it is considered that about 25kWh (kilowatt-hour) is sufficient. The power consumption of a domestic vacuum cleaner is about 1,000W, so 25kWh is sufficient for such an appliance for a whole day, which gives a fairly clear idea of the power requirements, as will be discussed below. In areas with cooler climates, the power requirements are naturally higher compared to warm areas; in regions with very hot climates, the electrical power requirements are also high when air conditioning must be carried out in living spaces; however, in areas with hot climates, there is typically a strong sunlight for a longer period of time. On the other hand, wind may be blown continuously, and the energy of the wind may be utilized. In many cases, solar and wind energy are complementary.
The power consumption of some typical home devices commonly used in a single or multi-person home is listed below. The power consumption of each appliance or appliance type of a home residing in the european central climate zone at 1, 2, 3 and 4 ports, respectively, is given. These data come from: household power conditioning 1997, Association of electric Industry (VDEW), Stresmennallell 23, D-60596 Frankfurt am Main.

Therefore, it can be understood that an average of 20.18kWh per day is sufficient to meet the overall needs of a family of 4. The supply of water is not considered here. However, pumping and supplying water requires less additional electrical energy.
Today, while electricity is supplied from a central power grid in industrialized countries and in some countries where the economy is flying, this is not the case in many developing countries. Most residents must wait for electricity to be brought to the home and are always looking for electricity to get their lives good. For the population with an electrical energy and water supply, many jobs will become simpler and their hygiene and health will be significantly improved if an adequate water supply is available. Water is often available from a sump in a well or some distance, but it is cumbersome to make it available. Water is often drawn up from wells manually or extracted from a water source and transported over long distances to residential areas. Moreover, the quality of this water is impure and even feared. Generally speaking, there are situations of electricity and water shortage not only in poor or less developed countries, but also in new populated areas, hills and desert areas, natural parks and vacation areas or on beaches where there is a scarcity of people. Not only in developing countries or countries that have developed to a certain extent, i.e. in developed industrialized countries, short-term or partial power and water shortage situations may also occur when natural events, accidents, natural disasters, even war, etc. cause the public power grid to be paralyzed and the associated infrastructure to be destroyed. Today, people have moved back to relying on emergency power units driven by diesel engines. In some countries, emergency generator sets are found in many houses and commercial buildings where the utility grid is less reliable, and are used to address emergency situations or to permanently generate electricity. We can think of a city which develops rapidly in some countries, where the exhaust pipe of the emergency generator set directly rushes to the street and gets the full of the catarrhal miasma.
Therefore, there is a need to develop a device capable of supplying power and water, which should operate without noise, reliably, require no maintenance, emit no odor, and operate efficiently using renewable energy. The device must also be compact, lightweight, and mobile to facilitate its transport by land, water and air to any desired point of use, without problems. Such a device must be simple to operate and should be able to adapt quickly to local requirements according to the actual requirements. Such an apparatus should be able to meet the demand for electricity and drinking water as long as groundwater or a sheet of standing water or flowing water is available in the surrounding area. It must also be able to purify the water to the quality of the drinking water. Finally, the equipment should be economical to manufacture so that a large number of people can use it in places where they live permanently or where there is a short stay and where there is no network electricity available, and it should be cost-effective to afford it to be affordable and usable.
Disclosure of Invention
It is therefore an object of the present invention to create a supply of electricity and water from renewable energy sources which meets the above criteria and meets the electricity and water requirements of an average of 4 family, and which, for this purpose, provides an average daily electric energy of at least 25kWh, some of which is used for pumping and purifying water into drinking water.
This object is achieved by a supply device for electricity and water from renewable energy sources. The device is characterized in that: it comprises a box-shaped section frame, wherein each side of the box is made of openable/retractable solar absorption panels, each side panel can be turned to be in the same plane with the top panel of the box to form a cross-shaped solar panel arrangement, and the structure is such that the side panels can be inclined on the section frame around a horizontal axis.

Detailed Description
The feeding device shown in fig. 1 is in a non-operative or transportable state. It has a box-section frame 1 made of commercial grade aluminium section having a square cross-section and a T-shaped channel with corresponding cut-outs on each side of its length. The length and width of this box-section frame 1 are the same, while its height is somewhat smaller, for example 2/3 to 4/5 for length and width. This is more clearly seen from the other figures. Four wheels 2 are mounted underneath the box-section frame 1, these wheels being universal wheels and being mounted at the four bottom corners of the box-section frame 1. The wheel mounting allows the entire feeding apparatus to be moved in all directions by rolling of the wheels, which makes it easy to load and unload the apparatus to a truck, to load it in a container, and to turn it in one place. Two adjacent wheels of the frame can be locked against rotation about their vertical rotational axes and can roll in the same direction. The device can then be pulled or pushed by several persons or a car rope and it can easily be redirected as well. The top surface 3 of the box-section frame 1 is provided with a box-section frame 4 having the same outer dimensions as the former and a solar panel is provided in the square top surface 3, although this is not shown. The height of this divided box frame 4 is about 1/5 to 1/3, that is to say about 20 to 30cm, of the length and width of the box-profile frame 1, and the upper box-profile frame 4 can be superposed on the lower box-profile frame 1. One of the bottom edges of the upper profile frame 4 is connected in a pivotable manner to one of the upper edges of the cube-shaped profile frame 1, so that the upper frame 4 can be pivoted about this axis together with the solar panel already mounted on its top face. Peripheral square profile frames 5 are rotatably connected to each of the four upper edges of the profile frame 4, a solar panel 6 being mounted on each of these square frames 5. When all these peripheral profile frames 5 with solar panels 6 are turned down, as shown in fig. 1, the frame 4 and the frame 1 together form a cube, the width, length and height of which are the same. Ideally, the whole cube should have a side length of 1m, which is the most convenient dimension for transport in containers or by truck, ship or airplane, which makes the best use of the available space according to international standards. At the same time, a cube of such dimensions can be handled directly by two people without the need for a crane block or crane vehicle.
Figure 2 shows the open solar panels 6 and the central solar panel 7 of the feeding device, which have been rotated, when the device is in operation. In this figure, the central solar panel 7 is now visible, surrounded by a square profile frame 16, which profile frame 16 in turn constitutes the top face of the top box profile frame 4. The four square profile frames 5 connected to the top side edges of the upper profile frame 4 have been turned from their initial position shown in fig. 1 so that the peripheral solar panels 6 are in the same plane, in which plane the top side of the upper profile frame 4 together with the central solar panel 7 enclosed by it is also. In this way, each solar panel 6 and the central solar panel 7 are formed in a cross shape. The upper profile frame 4 is then tilted forward about the horizontal axis 8, indicated by a dot-dash line in the figure, or lifted upwards to such an extent that the upper profile frame 4, in particular the central solar panel 7 in the square profile frame 16 formed on the top side of the profile frame 4, is tilted about 30 ° from its horizontal position. In a similar manner, all other solar panels 6 connected to the square profile frame 16 are also automatically tilted by the same amount. This inclination can be varied from 0 deg. to about 60 deg. and can be locked in each setting. The horizontal axis 8 extends along the length of the upper outer edge of the lower profile frame 1 and the lower outer edge of the adjacent upper profile frame 4. The solar panels 7 do not completely fill the entire upper surface of the upper profile frame 4, but rather a slot 9 remains, which slot 9 is perpendicular to the axis of rotation 8. The slot 9 is intended to receive a vertical shaft 10 of a windmill 11. The column 10 is stored in the cube-shaped supply device in the initial position shown in fig. 1. The mast 10 may be telescopic or may be assembled from sections or may have hinged parts. The mast 10 is designed to be set at different heights, either to lock the shrink sleeve at different pull-out heights, to hold the mast 10 at a desired height with a tubular clamp, or to pull it out to different heights by mechanically opening its joint. For columns connected by several segments, the joints can be opened by a crank drive, for example, a screw drive can be provided on the joints, from which crank a drive screw (worm) can be turned by a rope. The maximum height of the mast 10 is about 3m and the windmill 11 is mounted at the end of the mast 10 and comprises three blades 12, the root of each blade being screwed to the central hub 13 of a generator 17 of the windmill 11. The length of the blades 12 of the windmill 11 is slightly less than 1m so that they can be stored in the cube along the side length of the cube for easy transportation. The generator 17 is mounted on the upper end of a pipe section 18 of about 0.60m to 0.80m length, which is fastened to the mast 10 in such a way that it can rotate about the pipe axis. The drive shaft of the generator 17 is perpendicular to the pipe sections 18. On the rear side of the generator 17, a support rod 14 approximately half a meter long extends rearward. A windmill tail 15 is mounted at the end of the support rod 14. The tail of the windmill is made compact for easy transport and it can also be stored in the cube shown in fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a rear view of the feeding apparatus with its solar panel opened or flipped up. The box profile frame 1 is made of aluminium or stainless steel profile with a T-shaped slot on each long side. In the example shown, the length and width of this box-section frame 1 are the same, while its height is about 4/5 of these dimensions. For increased strength, the upper profile frame 4 is provided with vertical intermediate reinforcing columns 19 on the side of the horizontal axis of rotation 8 and on the opposite side. Due to the T-channel profile construction, all corners of the lower box profile frame 1 and the upper profile frame 4 are screwed together. It is therefore not necessary to assemble the frame 1 and the frame 4 with welding. The torsional stability of the box frames 1 and 4 is improved by corner supports 20, which corner supports 20 are also screwed to the profiles. From this figure it can be seen that the top turned up part of the profile frame 1 constitutes another box profile frame 4 on top of it, wherein the four profiles forming the top face thereof in turn form a square profile frame 16, which frame 16 is a frame surrounding a central solar panel 7. The horizontal axis 8 extends along the length of the horizontal profile on top of the rear side of the box-profile frame 1, the upper profile frame 4 being rotatable about the horizontal axis 8. Two gas springs 21 are provided between the lower box frame 1 and the upper box frame 4, making such upward rotation easier. These gas springs are connected at one end to the end of the profile perpendicular to the horizontal axis 8 remote from the hinge, which is located at the horizontal axis of rotation 8, and from there extend in an upwardly inclined direction to the top profile frame 16 of the upper profile frame 4, where they are also connected with the hinge. The force of these gas springs 21 tends to cause the upper profile frame 4 to rotate slightly upwards together with the solar panels 6 attached to its periphery. In a similar manner to the gas spring 21, several adjustment supports can be attached to the frames 1 and 4, wherein they have a longitudinal slot at one end through which a screw can pass and the supports can be turned and moved around the screw. By tightening the screws, the support can be rigidly held in any desired adjustment position and locked over its length, so that the upper profile frame 4 can be locked in each desired position. In the right rear corner of the profile frame 1 in this figure, the upright 10 is visible. The upright 10 extends along the length of two profiles 22, specifically arranged for its stabilization, which are fixed vertically to the box-profile frame 1 with a small distance between them. A profile, such as a channel, is arranged on an inner side of the frame 1 facing the box, and the upright 10 rests on this profile. The uprights 10 are fastened to the section bar, like a channel, with 3U-tie rods, whose ends pass through the section bar 22, which are fastened to the section bar 22 by means of threads 38. The uprights 10 extend upwards through the gap 9 between the solar panel 7 and the profile 16, which gap 9 is left by the solar panel 7 not completely occupying the side of the square profile frame 16. The upright 10 is extended upwards through this gap in the manner of a sleeve, or attached by several rods, or can be opened by a crank mechanism, depending on the construction of the upright 10. The peripheral square frames 5 are connected by at least two hinges 23, the other half of the hinges 23 being fixed to the profile 16 above the square profile frame 4 of the central solar panel 7. These square profile frames 5 are supported by gas springs 21 at the corners of the bottom faces of the upper box profile frame 4 so that the peripheral square frame 5 can rotate with the solar panels 6, and these gas springs 21 can easily lay the peripheral square frame 5 flat. The peripheral square frame 5 together with the solar panels 6 can be turned to be in the same plane as the central solar panel 7 and held firmly in this turned position by locking pins, stays or stays.
Inside the lower box frame 1, three box modules 24, 25, 26 are arranged close together. The frames of these modules are made of profiles, which are coated with sheet material. In the illustrated embodiment, the sheet material is a plastic sheet and the boxes are constructed to be open-topped, but may be covered with an additional lid. The bottom plate of these boxes is provided with through holes so that water and condensate entering from the outside can flow out. The sheet material covering the frame of the modules 24-26 may also be a metal sheet, but a plastic sheet is more suitable because it is corrosion and acid resistant. Each box module 24-26 is provided at both ends with handles 27 by means of which the respective box module can be pulled out of the box profile frame 1 as a pull and pull. Furthermore, each module 24-26 has one or more rails on the bottom surface. In the fully pushed-in position shown in the figures, the modules 24-26 can be fixed. Hooks are provided on the visible front surface and the invisible rear surface of each box module. After pulling the individual box modules out of the frame 1 on the rails, the hoisting trolley's slings or belts can be hung from the hooks and the modules lifted out with a crane. These modules comprise the various components necessary for the operation of such a feeding device, which are not visible in this figure. On the front surface facing the viewer, two hoses 29 and 30 are visible with couplings 31 and 32, which couplings 31 and 32 are also provided with shut-off valves 33 and 34, respectively. These adapters are fixed to the profile sections 35 and 36, respectively, and the profile sections 35 and 36 are screwed to the vertical profiles of the box-profile frame 1. The hoses 29 and 30 lead to the interior of the module 24, in which module 24 water treatment means are present, as will be explained below. In the module 25, there are installed batteries and electronic control means for controlling the entire supply device. The energy of the sunlight is converted into direct current by the photoelectric effect of the solar panels 6 and 7, and the direct current is stored in the storage battery. The dc power is then converted to ac power for use by an inverter. Also, the mill may also generate ac power, which is rectified and then stored in the battery as well. In daytime, when sunlight irradiates, solar power generation is mainly used. When sunlight does not exist at night, wind power at night is high, and wind turbine power generation is mainly used. In the daytime, the solar energy and the windmill can be complemented according to meteorological conditions, namely the intensity of sunlight and the wind power. The amount of electricity that can be generated varies during the 24 hours of the day, on the one hand due to diurnal variations and, on the other hand, due to variations in the meteorological conditions that determine the availability of sunlight and wind. Therefore, this inconsistent nature of the amount of power that can be emitted must be averaged over a period of time. On the other hand, the need for electrical energy varies over 24 hours a day. At night, the need for electrical energy is less; during the day, the need for electrical energy depends on the activities of the occupants or users of such supply devices at any time. All these fluctuations must be absorbed by the accumulator as an energy storage device. The storage battery is continuously charged with the changing electric energy generated by the solar panel and the windmill, and simultaneously, the storage battery also outputs the electric power required by the electric appliance at any time. However, batteries are designed to never fully discharge during normal domestic electricity usage.
Figure 4 shows the solar panel of the feeding device in an open position with the hinge on the right side of the figure. It is easy to understand that: the upper box-section frame 4 can be turned to rest against the lower box-section frame 1. It can also be seen that: the support 29 fixed on this side of the supply device and the two vertical profiles 22 at a small distance from each other hold the upright 10 behind them, and the upright 10 also rests against the channel-shaped profiles fastened to the two profiles 22. The upright 10 is secured by passing the threaded end of the U-shaped tightening rod which embraces the upright 10 through the section bar 22 and the plate 37 and then by screwing the nut 38. If the column 10 is formed by several sections hinged together, the sections can be folded by folding them 180 °. In the folded state, the segments rest against each other, lying on the bottom plate of the box-section frame 1. By means of a screw drive, the individual hinges can be rotated and fixed in each pivoted position. The cranks can be used to drive the transmission elements, which in turn drive the screws (worms), respectively.
Fig. 5 shows that an electric water pump is provided in the box module 24, viewed from the side. For better understanding, this side of the box module 24 is opened. In the module 24, an internal central partition wall 40 divides the module in half. Each box module is in this way formed of a profile frame with an aluminium or stainless steel profile 39 similar to that of the box profile frames 1 and 4, with a T-shaped channel on each side of the profile. The water pump 41 is fixed with its side to the partition 40, and a motor 42 for driving the water pump 41 and a cable 43 for the motor are also visible. The water pump 41 has a water outlet pressure of 820 lb/in2The pump 41 may draw water from a nearby source such as a pond, stream or pond through hose 54 and a prefilter affixed to the rear side of the partition 40. The pump was then started at 820 lbs/inch2The high pressure of water discharges through a high pressure hose and another high pressure filter, which is also fixed to the rear side of the partition wall 40. From there, the high-pressure hose 44 also returns to the water pump 41 to form a circulation. Maintain 820 lb/in during this cycle2High pressure of (2). Valve 45 is used for evacuation of the entire system.
Fig. 6 shows the other side of the box module 24, i.e. the rear side of the partition wall 40. Here, the pre-filter 47 has a filter element 48 made of paper or wool fabric, and a commercial grade microporous ceramic filter 49 is installed on the upper side of the pre-filter 47. The filter 49 has a pore size of 0.2X 10m-6The ceramic thin film of (1). The water drawn by the water pump 41 through the hose 54 first passes through the pre-filter 47 and then returns to the water pump 41 through the hose 52 as shown in fig. 5. The water was also supplied at 820 lbs/inch2From the pump 41 through a high pressure hose to the ceramic filter 49. After the ceramic filter, a portion of the water was returned to the pump 41 via the high pressure hose, thereby creating a high pressure water cycle in which 820 lb/in was maintained2The pressure of (a). Another portion of the water is passed through hose 29 to a tap from which the treated water can be taken.
Fig. 7 shows the interior of the box module 26. Including the generator 17 with the drive hub and the pipe section 18 in the inactive state, and a socket 65 for inserting the support rod 14 of the vehicle tail 15. These parts form an assembly in their holder, which is held tightly against slipping by a metal band 60. The pipe sections 18 are connected to the reinforcing profile 61 by pipe clamps 63 and rods 64, and the support rods 14 of the windmill tail 15 are screwed to the profile 61. The wind-mill tail part 15 is fastened on the other side of the reinforcing section bar 61 by screw threads. The blades 12 of the windmill are stored on the top surface of the module and are wrapped so that they are not visible. It can also be seen that: the lower profile of the module is provided with rollers 62 which facilitate the displacement of the module in the box-shaped profile frame 1.
Figure 8 shows the other side of the module shown in figure 7. It can be seen that the windmill tail 15, which consists of four star-shaped blades, is fastened to the reinforcing profile 61 with screws. In the assembled state, these blades may align the windmill in the direction of the incoming wind and stabilize the windmill in the total air flow. Also visible is a cable 66 leading from the generator 17 to the socket 65, from which socket 65 current can be drawn with a plug, which is on the bottom surface and thus not visible.
Fig. 9 shows a box module 25 containing a battery 67. Four lead-acid batteries are provided. The storage batteries are used for smoothing the generated electric energy and smoothing the peak value of the power generation and the fluctuation of the power consumption. The module has a profile frame with a short middle height, and an inverter/rectifier unit is fixed on the top surface of the section of the frame, and the inverter/rectifier unit is used for converting direct current from the accumulator into alternating current of 110V or 220V and rectifying the electricity generated by the generator and inputting the rectified electricity into the accumulator. Also housed in the module 25 is an electronic control unit 69 for controlling the entire supply plant, which carries out the overall management of the electric energy between the solar panels, the generator, the accumulator and the electric water pump. All major components of this equipment, including solar panels, batteries, inverters/rectifiers, water pumps, filters, reverse osmosis units and wind generators, can be selected from certified standard products.
An alternative solution may be to avoid the use of batteries and to replace the storage of electrical energy generated by solar and wind power with hydrogen. For this purpose, a hydrogen generator can be provided in the same module without an accumulator. This hydrogen generator generates hydrogen and oxygen by electrolyzing water with the generated direct current, and then combusts the hydrogen and oxygen with a fuel cell of similar construction.
It is important that these components be connected and assembled together so that the supply is extremely compact. Wind and solar energy are ideally complementary and can be stored for average power consumption by at least one 4-port family, the modular construction of the individual components and units facilitating rapid adaptation to specific needs. The modules 24, 25, 26 act as interfaces enabling the feeding device to provide the following options as required:
accumulating electric energy converted from solar energy, and/or
Accumulating electric energy generated by the wind generator alone, and/or
Pumping stagnant, flowing or ground water,
provides drinking water by purifying certain dirty water,
the electric energy is provided for different electric appliances,
water is electrolyzed using direct current to produce hydrogen and oxygen, and instead, hydrogen and oxygen can be combusted using a fuel cell to produce direct current.
For example, in the event that the supply of water is not required and more power is required, the entire water supply unit, i.e. the module 24 with its constituent parts, can be replaced by another box-shaped module housing a battery. It is also possible to exchange the water supply unit in the module 24 for another box module 26 containing windmills and generators, so that two windmills can be used for simultaneous power generation when the supply is installed in places with frequent strong winds and where there is no need for water supply from the supply. Accordingly, the generated electric power will increase significantly. It is also possible to make the supply device more powerful by using more components, for example by providing it with a miniature hydro-generator, which if necessary is installed in the flowing water in the vicinity, which can provide about 500W of electric power. With standard components, i.e. 5 solar panels of 1 square meter each, 650W of electric power can be generated, and a windmill of about two meters in diameter can generate up to about 750W of electric power, 25kWh of electric power on average a day and a night. In a typical application, the generator generates about 17.5kWh of electricity for a 24 hour period for optional use, and the water supply provides about 500 liters of potable water.
On the other hand, where there is a long period of intense sunlight without much wind and where drinking water is of the greatest importance, the module utilizing wind energy can be replaced by a water treatment module, and the use of the electrical energy generated by the solar panel for providing drinking water is placed first, with a corresponding reduction in electrical energy for other purposes, since it is of secondary importance in such areas. In this way, the supply device can be quickly adapted to the particular needs. The module or box can be changed, quickly connected and put into operation with appropriate components in a short time.
In a particular embodiment, the entire supply apparatus can be placed on a powered flat turntable, and instead of gas springs, a piston-cylinder arrangement can be used to rotate the solar panel and hold it in the rotated position. Such a feeding device can be made to optimally track sunlight anywhere on the earth if it has a GPS system (satellite global positioning system) and applicable software for controlling the hydraulic pumps that drive the turntable and piston-cylinder arrangement. The solar panel always rotates along with the sun and keeps an ideal angle of the sunlight which is reflected oppositely. Figure 10 shows how such a feeding device can be made to track the position of the sun. The horizontal endless tube track 53 is supported on at least three height adjustable support feet 55 to form a stand and then the track 53 is leveled or fixed in a horizontal position on the ground. The diameter of the endless track 53 corresponds to the distance between two of the four wheels of the device in each diagonal direction. The wheels 2 have U-shaped recessed surfaces which allow them to move reliably when the wheels 2 are placed on the rail 53, so that the supply device on the wheels 2 can rotate on the rail 53 about its own vertical axis. At least one wheel 2, and preferably both diagonally, is driven by a motor 56. The electronic control means 69 are programmable logic controlled so that the device can be made to track the position of the sun according to the date on the calendar and the time of day by driving the wheel in rotation.
Such a supply device is very light to use; moreover, it works without maintenance and without emissions. It weighs about 300kg, has very compact external dimensions, and has a volume of only 1 cubic meter, so that it can be easily transported to any place where it is needed, installed and put into operation. In places where strong wind blows it is recommended to pull a guy wire fixed to the ground on each side of the device when the solar panels are opened.
