Abstract

Pure wave energy or energy converted into kinetic energy in the form of a wave on the coast is received by an artificial reef which has a ramp, on the upper part thereof, suitably designed to raise the maximum volume of sea water to the maximum possible height, depositing it in the channel of the reef as potential energy or altitude energy, and flows through a horizontal channel to land area. Once it arrives at the weir, it falls on the rotor of a generator, producing electricity which is sent to the distribution network. The sea water returns in the form of a river and/or filters through the marine farm, providing said farm with calm, oxygenated water which is safe to be used as a hatchery for breeding sea species.

OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

La presente invención se refiere a sistema generador de energía eléctrica en base a energía undimotriz mediante un arrecife artificial dispuesto paralelo a una zona de costa, con el objeto de aprovechar la energía mecánica de las olas y transformarla en energía eléctrica mediante la instalación de una red de canales que transportan el agua proveniente de las olas desde el arrecife artificial hasta un generador eléctrico en la playa, el agua regresa después al mar como río y/o filtrándose, dejando la playa cerrada, oxigenada, tranquila y segura. The present invention relates to an electric power generating system based on wave energy by means of an artificial reef arranged parallel to a coastal area, in order to take advantage of the mechanical energy of the waves and transform it into electrical energy by installing a network of channels that transport water from the waves from the artificial reef to an electric generator on the beach, the water then returns to the sea as a river and / or leaking, leaving the beach closed, oxygenated, calm and safe.

ANTECEDENTES BACKGROUND

Existen diferentes tecnologías desarrolladas para aprovechar la energía undimotriz y convertirla en energía eléctrica, algunas de ellas se refieren a:  There are different technologies developed to take advantage of wave energy and convert it into electrical energy, some of them refer to:

Puerta basculante. Consta de una placa instalada en el fondo marino que bascula con la fuerza del mar. Este movimiento está ligado a un pistón hidráulico que, mediante un generador de energía eléctrica, lo convierte en electricidad.  Tilting door It consists of a plate installed on the seabed that tilts with the force of the sea. This movement is linked to a hydraulic piston that, by means of an electric power generator, converts it into electricity.

La tecnología ha sido desarrollada por Rauno Koivusaari, un submarinista que mientras exploraba un barco hundido casi es golpeado por una puerta que no paraba de moverse. De esto hace 15 años, desde entonces ha estado desarrollando la tecnología para obtener energía undimotriz, a través de la compañía AW-Energy, pudiendo demostrar su viabilidad en una maqueta a escala (1 :2). The technology has been developed by Rauno Koivusaari, a submariner who, while exploring a sunken ship, is almost hit by a door that kept moving. From this 15 years ago, since then it has been developing the technology to obtain wave energy, through the AW-Energy company, being able to demonstrate its viability in a scale model (1: 2).

Boyas de absorción. Este tipo de boyas absorben el movimiento vertical de las olas. Una de las empresas que utiliza esta tecnología es la americana Ocean Power Technologies y es la que está instalada en la planta experimental de Santoña. En su caso la boya tiene un anillo exterior que oscila con el movimiento de las olas, mientras que en el interior hay una estructura mucho más pesada que apenas se desplaza. La conexión de estas dos estructuras se hace mediante un pistón hidráulico (Como en el caso de la puerta basculante), con el que se transforma la energía undimotriz en electricidad.  Absorption buoys. This type of buoys absorb the vertical movement of the waves. One of the companies that uses this technology is the American Ocean Power Technologies and is the one that is installed in the Santoña experimental plant. In his case the buoy has an outer ring that oscillates with the movement of the waves, while inside there is a much heavier structure that barely moves. The connection of these two structures is made by means of a hydraulic piston (As in the case of the swinging door), with which the wave energy is transformed into electricity.

Otra empresa que utiliza boyas para generar electricidad es Finavera Renewables. Sus boyas tienen un lastre interno que no oscila tanto con las olas y que se utiliza como pistón para comprimir el agua y hacerla pasar por una turbina, con la que se genera electricidad. Este sistema, llamado AquaBuOY se instaló en la costa de Newport, Oregon, USA en 2007. Atenuadores. Este sistema utiliza también la oscilación vertical del mar para transformar la energía undimotriz en electricidad pero lo hace desde un enfoque totalmente diferente a las boyas. El dispositivo es un conjunto de tubos cilindricos unidos por bisagras perpendiculares a la corriente. El movimiento de las olas provoca una basculación entre cada sección de tubos, que es aprovechado por un sistema hidráulico para generar electricidad.  Another company that uses buoys to generate electricity is Finavera Renewables. Their buoys have an internal ballast that does not oscillate so much with the waves and that is used as a piston to compress the water and make it pass through a turbine, with which electricity is generated. This system, called AquaBuOY, was installed on the coast of Newport, Oregon, USA in 2007. Faders. This system also uses vertical sea oscillation to transform wave energy into electricity but does so from a totally different approach to buoys. The device is a set of cylindrical tubes joined by hinges perpendicular to the current. The movement of the waves causes a tilt between each section of pipes, which is used by a hydraulic system to generate electricity.

Esta tecnología ha sido desarrollada por la empresa escocesa Pelamis y su objetivo ha sido enfocar el sistema a una alta resistencia a las condiciones marinas adversas más que a una elevada generación de electricidad. Su primer prototipo fue instalado en Agosto de 2004 en el EMEC, un centro/zona de pruebas de energías marinas. Otras empresas como Checkmate UK y Bulge Wave están desarrollando sistemas que usan el mismo movimiento pero en vez de generar electricidad a partir del movimiento relativo de las secciones la consiguen a través del diferencial de presión que se genera en el interior de los tubos, siendo estos flexibles. Curiosamente ambas compañías llaman a sus sistemas igual: Anaconda. This technology has been developed by the Scottish company Pelamis and its objective has been to focus the system on high resistance to adverse marine conditions rather than high electricity generation. Its first prototype was installed in August 2004 at the EMEC, a marine energy testing center / zone. Other companies such as Checkmate UK and Bulge Wave are developing systems that use the same movement but instead of generating electricity from the relative movement of the sections they get it through the pressure differential that is generated inside the tubes, these being flexible Curiously, both companies call their systems the same: Anaconda.

Wave Dragón. La columna oscilante utiliza una técnica muy diferente para aprovechar la energía undimotriz. Su sistema consiste en una barrera que almacena en su interior el agua que la sobrepasa. Esta agua estancada se expulsa a través de una turbina hidroeléctrica, generando electricidad.  Wave Dragon The oscillating column uses a very different technique to harness wave energy. Its system consists of a barrier that stores in its interior the water that surpasses it. This stagnant water is expelled through a hydroelectric turbine, generating electricity.

Este mecanismo fue el primer sistema implantado en el mundo para generar electricidad a partir de las olas. El primer prototipo se instaló en la costa danesa en Marzo de 2003 y se desmanteló en Enero de 2005. En el año 2006 un prototipo optimizado se instaló en otra zona con mayor potencial energético y se retiró en Mayo de 2008. Actualmente se están llevando tareas de mantenimiento y optimización para volverlo a poner en funcionamiento. This mechanism was the first system implemented in the world to generate electricity from the waves. The first prototype was installed on the Danish coast in March 2003 and was dismantled in January 2005. In 2006, an optimized prototype was installed in another area with greater energy potential and retired in May 2008. Currently, tasks are being carried out. of maintenance and optimization to put it back into operation.

DESCRIPCIÓN DETALLADA DE LA INVENCIÓN  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

El arrecife artificial (10) se encuentra compuesto por dos tipos de módulos, el primer tipo de módulo corresponde a la parte que formará el cuerpo del arrecife y que comprende un cuerpo principal (11) que presenta una base inferior (12), una cara frontal (13) y una cara posterior (14), presentando la cara posterior (14) una altura mayor a aquella de la cara frontal (13), formando así un deflector de olas (18), dicho deflector de olas presenta una inclinación hacia la cara frontal (13) del arrecife; entre la cara frontal (13) y la cara posterior (14) se encuentra un canal (19) que recibe el agua que se eleva desde la cara frontal (13) y queda atrapada por la ayuda de dicho deflector (18); los extremos laterales de dicho primer tipo de módulo se encuentran libres, es decir, no presentan pared alguna; la cara frontal (13) presenta un perfil curvo, en una modalidad de la invención dicho perfil es cóncavo a manera de rampa que facilita que el agua que viaja con las olas se eleve hasta el deflector (18) y quede atrapada en el canal (19), en una segunda modalidad de la invención dicho perfil es convexo y en una tercera modalidad de la invención dicho perfil es una combinación de superficies cóncavas y convexas; dicho arrecife artificial es colocados sobre un terraplén (80) formado en el fondo de la playa, la altura de dicho terraplén variará dependiendo de las condiciones topográficas de cada zona donde se instalará dicho arrecife artificial. La forma de unión de dichos módulos consiste en una unión tipo copie, es decir, se fabrica la mitad de los primeros módulos en un primer tamaño y la mitad restante en un segundo tamaño más pequeño que el primero, pero lo suficientemente grande como para realizar un ajuste a presión. The artificial reef (10) is composed of two types of modules, the first type of module corresponds to the part that will form the body of the reef and that comprises a main body (11) that has a lower base (12), a face front (13) and a rear face (14), the rear face (14) having a height greater than that of the face frontal (13), thus forming a wave deflector (18), said wave deflector has an inclination towards the front face (13) of the reef; between the front face (13) and the rear face (14) is a channel (19) that receives the water that rises from the front face (13) and is trapped by the aid of said deflector (18); the lateral ends of said first type of module are free, that is, they have no wall; the front face (13) has a curved profile, in one embodiment of the invention said profile is concave in the form of a ramp that facilitates that the water traveling with the waves rises up to the deflector (18) and is trapped in the channel ( 19), in a second embodiment of the invention said profile is convex and in a third embodiment of the invention said profile is a combination of concave and convex surfaces; said artificial reef is placed on an embankment (80) formed at the bottom of the beach, the height of said embankment will vary depending on the topographic conditions of each area where said artificial reef will be installed. The form of union of said modules consists of a copy type connection, that is, half of the first modules are manufactured in a first size and the remaining half in a second size smaller than the first, but large enough to make a snap fit.

El segundo tipo de módulo corresponde a la parte que formara los extremos del arrecife, y que comprende un cuerpo principal (1 1 ') que presenta una base inferior (12'), una porción de cara posterior (14'), una primera cara lateral (15), una porción de una segunda cara lateral (16) y una cara frontal (13'); entre la cara frontal (13'), la porción de cara posterior (14'), la primera cara lateral (15) y la porción de la segunda cara lateral (16) se encuentra un canal (19') que recibe el agua proveniente del canal (19) y la que se eleva desde la cara frontal (13'), la parte trasera que no presenta cara posterior presenta en su lugar un canal en forma de U, en la cual se acoplara la red de canales para transportar el agua desde el arrecife artificial hasta la playa. Dicha primera cara lateral presenta una inclinación mayor a los 90° con respecto a la cara frontal (13') del segundo tipo de módulo. The second type of module corresponds to the part that will form the ends of the reef, and which comprises a main body (1 1 ') that has a lower base (12'), a rear face portion (14 '), a first face side (15), a portion of a second side face (16) and a front face (13 '); Between the front face (13 '), the rear face portion (14'), the first side face (15) and the second side face portion (16) is a channel (19 ') that receives the water coming from of the channel (19) and the one that rises from the face front (13 '), the rear part that does not have a back face instead has a U-shaped channel, in which the network of channels is coupled to transport water from the artificial reef to the beach. Said first side face has an inclination greater than 90 ° with respect to the front face (13 ') of the second type of module.

El arrecife artificial se encuentra conformado por una pluralidad de bloques modulares que son acoplados lado a lado para ocupar un área a lo largo de la zona de costa. Es importante hacer notar que el segundo tipo de modulo aquí descrito corresponde al módulo colocado en el extremo izquierdo del arrecife artificial, para el módulo colocado en el extremo derecho del arrecife artificial, las paredes laterales se encontraran colocadas de modo inverso. The artificial reef is made up of a plurality of modular blocks that are coupled side by side to occupy an area along the coast area. It is important to note that the second type of module described here corresponds to the module placed at the left end of the artificial reef, for the module placed at the right end of the artificial reef, the side walls will be placed in reverse.

Una vez que el arrecife artificial se encuentra dispuesto a lo largo de una zona de costa, en ambos extremos del mismo se instala una red de canales (20) acoplados al segundo tipo de módulos, de forma que dichos canales transporten hacia la playa el agua atrapada en el canal (19) de dicho arrecife (10), dicha red de canales se encuentra instalada a los costados del arrecife artificial para hacer que el agua fluya a través del mismo.  Once the artificial reef is arranged along a coast area, a network of channels (20) coupled to the second type of modules is installed at both ends, so that these channels transport water to the beach trapped in the channel (19) of said reef (10), said network of channels is installed on the sides of the artificial reef to make the water flow through it.

Dicha red de canales (20) consiste de una serie de módulos en forma de U en una unión tipo copie, es decir, se fabrica la mitad de dichos módulos en un primer tamaño (26) y la mitad restante en un segundo tamaño (27), más pequeño que el primero, pero lo suficientemente grande como para unir uno a continuación del otro a presión, que transportan el agua desde el arrecife artificial hasta la playa, terminando en una pared. Said network of channels (20) consists of a series of U-shaped modules in a copy-type junction, that is, half of said modules are manufactured in a first size (26) and the remaining half in a second size (27 ), smaller than the first, but large enough to join one after the other under pressure, which transport water from the artificial reef to the beach, ending in a wall.

En un punto del canal, se localiza un vertedero (24) a través del cual es descargada el agua proveniente de la ola, aprovechando así la energía potencial proporcionada por la altura del nivel de agua transportada a través de la red de canales, para de esa manera descargar el agua hacia un rotor (30), de preferencia del tipo Pelton, el cual esta conectado por medio de un eje del mismo a un generador eléctrico (40) y de esa forma generar energía eléctrica. Una vez que el agua ha hecho girar el rotor (30), esta regresa al mar, ya sea mediante filtración a través de la arena de la playa o en forma de río. At one point of the canal, a landfill (24) is located through which the water coming from the wave is discharged, taking advantage of the potential energy provided by the height of the level of water transported through the network of channels, to thereby discharge the water to a rotor (30), preferably of the Pelton type, which is connected by means of an axis thereof to an electric generator (40) and thus generate electricity. Once the water has rotated the rotor (30), it returns to the sea, either by filtration through the sand of the beach or in the form of a river.

En caso de que exista algún problema en el generador o en el rotor, a lo largo de la red de canales se localiza al menos una compuerta (25); la cual controla la apertura y/ó cierre total de dicho vertedero.  If there is a problem in the generator or in the rotor, at least one gate (25) is located along the channel network; which controls the opening and / or total closing of said landfill.

Los módulos que componen al arrecife artificial así como la red de canales son fabricados en concreto armado, sin embargo, se puede escoger cualquier otro material que resulte apto.  The modules that make up the artificial reef as well as the network of channels are made of reinforced concrete, however, you can choose any other material that is suitable.
