PUMPED-STORAGE HYDROELECTRIC POWER STATION HAVING PIPE INSTALLED SUCH THAT BOTH ENDS OF PIPE HAVE DIFFERENT HEIGHTS, THEREBY INDUCING FLUID FLOW INSIDE PIPE, AND UTILIZING FLUID FLOW

Abstract

(1) Technical field of the invention described in the claims: natural laws regarding water flowing from a high place to a low place, and fluid dynamics regarding potential energy of water. (2) Technical objectives to be solved by the invention: A. Simultaneously producing electric power and pumping up water; B. Installing hydroelectric power stations in unlimited places, that is, guaranteeing that hydroelectric power stations can be installed anywhere; C. Guaranteeing that electricity is produced 24 hours a day, 365 days a year; D. Ending thermal power generation, nuclear power generation, photovoltaic power generation, and wind power generation. (3) The gist of a method for resolving the technical objectives: to guarantee that, in the course of water at a high level falling into a pipe, multiple generators installed in the pipe are operated, thereby producing electric power, that is, the gist is to increase the total amount of produced electric power. This is because the total amount of produced electric power can be increased as desired, while electric power (that is, cost) necessary for pumping up water that has fallen to the original high level is fixed. That is, the number of generators installed in the pipe can be increased as desired (to 100 or 1,000). (4) Important use of the invention: creation of a new-concept pumped-storage hydroelectric power station.

Claims

1-3. (canceled)

4. A pumped-storage hydroelectric power station or a hydroelectric power station comprising: a pipe installed such that both ends have different heights, wherein, while water is continuously supplied into an end of the pipe at a higher side and continuously flows from the end of the pipe at the higher side to an end of the pipe at a lower side due to a difference in height between both ends of the pipe, multiple generators installed inside the pipe are operated and produce a sum of power generation inside pipe, and a total of the sum of power generation inside pipe and power generation outside pipe obtained by using water discharged from the end of the pipe at the lower side to atmosphere is to be larger than electric power which is consumed to pump water discharged from the end of the pipe on the lower side up to an original higher position.

5. The pumped-storage hydroelectric power station or the hydroelectric power station according to claim 4, wherein an additional separated water supply pipe is provided between multiple generators installed inside the pipe, and water is additionally supplied such that a flow rate inside the pipe is increased to increase total electric power generation inside pipe.

(5) PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION OR EMBODIMENTS FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0135] The power station of the present invention has a simple structure as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, and thus there is no need to describe preferred embodiments. With consideration for required electric power and an area and a shape of land, generators and the number of generators in FIG. 1 or 2 are determined, a size and the number of each part are determined, and the power station is installed.

[0136] Table 1 illustrates ten generators as samples and thus can be used just as reference, and 50 to 100 or more generators can be installed as necessary. Then, the total amount of power generation is remarkably increased.

(6) INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY

[0137] 1. Installation is very easy.

[0138] 2. Basically, installation costs are low, and the construction costs compared to effects of a power station are further lower.

[0139] 3. The power station, to which the present invention is applied, has no restrictions on installation location and is reduced in costs for land, countless (globally 100,000,000 or more large-sized/medium-sized/small-sized in total) power stations can be installed, and the hydroelectric power production causes no environmental pollution.

[0140] The hydroelectric power station can be easily used and be welcome anywhere on the earth, because of reasons in 1 to 3 described above.
