System for airflow energy conversion as an attachment integration in solar plants for additional supply of electrical energy

Abstract

The invention relates to a system for airflow energy conversion as an attachment integration in solar plants (1) for additional supply of electrical current. The invention relates to the concept of integrating or attaching an airflow energy system directly to existing or newly designed solar plants (1). The airflow energy system uses any airflows acting on the installation site. Wind, heat absorption energy of the utilised solar plant and airflows resulting from thermals in the immediate surroundings are optimally used for this purpose. In this way, additional electrical energy is generated and added to the electrical energy already obtained from solar energy. With this invention, the energy yield at solar plants is increased. The direct combination of the airflow system with a solar plant (1) forms an overall system which requires no additional investment in site area, while using only one system controller.

Claims

1. An airflow energy conversion as an attachment integration in solar systems for the automatic use of all airflows and their directions on the modular drum wheels (6) is achieved by means of the wind vanes' (7) own rotatable bearing and the movable flow catchers (8) a solar energy system (1) having conventional standard framework (2) containing at least one solar module for generating useful energy from the sun at least one modular drum wheel generator (5) installed on a solar system (1) to absorb all airflows acting in the environment and on the system installation resulting in a direction-independent installation option for the wind booster system in an overall system installation consisting of both useful energies for joint use of the hybrid system control.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that, the rotatable bearing of the wind vanes (7) makes it possible to ensure all installation positions of the wind booster systems (FIG. 4).

3. The system as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that, due to the separate bearing of the wind vanes (7), different numbers thereof can be accommodated on the drum wheels (6).

4. The system as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that, due to the separate bearing of the wind vane (7), flexible mounting of different geometries can be positioned on the drum wheels (6).

5. The system as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that, the modular design of the drum generators (5) enables a flexible or different configuration of a hybrid system installation.

6. The system as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that, the movable flow catchers (8) automatically adapt to the airflow conditions and thus optimize the overall harvesting of wind energy at the modular drum generators (5).

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

[0033] Views of the structure and their installation situations of the airflow generators (5) on a standard framework (2) of solar systems (1)

[0034] FIG. 1: a perspective installation situation of an airflow generator system in vertical orientation of the solar system (1)

[0035] FIG. 2: a perspective installation situation of an airflow generator system in horizontal orientation of the solar system (1)

[0036] FIG. 3: a perspective installation situation of an airflow generator system

[0037] FIG. 4: a detailed perspective view of an airflow generator (5) with the individual components

[FIG. 1]

[0038] This figure shows the arrangement of at least one airflow generator (5) on a vertically installed solar thermal system (1) with a standard framework (2). However, no support structures are shown because the installation of my invention works independently of the support structures. The figure is intended to convey the impression that the installation concept allows a simple combination of a solar system (1) and airflow generators (5) to be attached to the standard framework (2) using the adapters (9). Furthermore, it can be seen that the modular design means that multiple individual modules of airflow generators (5)four in this figure, as an examplecan be installed next to each other so that all of the solar system's effective airflows can be utilized.

[FIG. 2]

[0039] This figure shows the arrangement of at least one airflow generator system on a horizontally installed solar thermal system (1) with a standard framework (2). However, no support structures are shown because the installation of my invention works independently of the support structures. This figure is also intended to convey the impression that the installation concept allows a simple combination of a solar system (1) and airflow generators (5) to be attached to the standard framework (2) using the adapters (9). Furthermore, it can also be seen in this figure that the modular design means that multiple individual modules of airflow generators (5)six in this figure, as an examplecan be installed next to each other in the system.

[0040] As already shown in [FIG. 1] but also in [FIG. 2], this figure shows how the modular design of the airflow generator system can be optimized for all installation situations.

[FIG. 4]

[0041] This figure shows the arrangement of a maximum configuration of an airflow generator system on a horizontally installed solar thermal system (1) with a standard framework (2). This figure is intended to show that the installation concept enables a simple combination of a solar system (1) with the modular design of airflow generators (5) on all sides. This installation shows that the airflow generators (5) or the system can be installed regardless of the position. In this figure, a total of 20 pieces have been installed, as an example. It is therefore shown how the modular design of the airflow generator system can enable optimization in all installation positions.

[FIG. 4]

[0042] This figure shows the vision of a design to illustrate the principle of modular airflow generators (5). The detailed illustration shows an example of a wind vane (7) which is attached or arranged on a drum wheel. As already described, the drum wheel can be fitted with different geometries of wind catchers. The figure also shows how the rotor axle (4) can be guided through the bearing block to achieve the necessary rotary movement. The generator coil located in the bearing block is not shown in this figure.

[0043] The figure also shows the flow catcher (8) already described. These flow catchers also have different geometries, which can be installed on the airflow generators (5).

Examples

[0044] Since only different adapters (9) are required for the installation and operation of my invention, no difference can be visibly depicted in a figure when integrated in a solar thermal system or installed in a solar system (photovoltaic system) (1). This means that there is no need for an additional illustration of the airflow generator system installation variant on a solar thermal system. However, it should be reaffirmed that a solar thermal system as shown in [FIG. 1], [FIG. 2] and [FIG. 3] can also be fully equipped and implemented.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY

[0045] All specialist companies that sell solar systems could also market this invention and install it after training. Integration into the system control is easy to integrate and can also be carried out by specialist companies.
