DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0054] The present invention relates to a renewable power generation farm for fishing work. More particularly, the present invention relates to a renewable power generation farm for fishing work configured to monitor illegal fishing on the sea surface surrounding the land, to enable the fishers to perform efficient fishing by residing in the fishery area, to provide new income via energy generation, and to provide a shelter against typhoon.
[0055] More particularly, the present invention relates to a renewable power generation farm for fishing work configured to enhance the durability against the sea breeze of the solar photovoltaic panel installed on the sea, to filter the seawater for the living water, and contribute to the surveillance and protection activities of the sea.
[0056] In general, there is no adequate measure against illegal fishing boats that invade for catching fish at adjacent sea. Because of this, livelihood of fishermen is threatened.
[0057] In addition, there is not an adequate resident system in the fishery on which fishermen can continue to reside to do fishing. Therefore, fishermen must depart from the land port via fishing boat and return to the land port after fishing.
[0058] Hereinafter, a renewable power generation farm for fishing work according to the present invention will be described in detail on the basis of the accompanying drawings, which show the most preferred embodiments of the farm for construction in the field.
[0059]
[0060]
[0061]
[0062]
[0063] A wind-based energy generation device 67 is installed on a main elongate floating structure 55. Specifically, the wind-based energy generation device 67 is installed on the top face 51 of the main elongate floating structure 55 via a support pillar 63. Therefore, the wind-based energy generation device 67 is movable on the sea.
[0064] More particularly, the present invention relates to the renewable power generation farm for fishing work configured to monitor illegal fishing on the sea surface 35 surrounding the land, to enable the fishers to perform efficient fishing by residing in the fishery area using the main elongate floating structure 55, to provide new income via energy generation using the wind-based energy generation device 67 and to provide a shelter against typhoon using the main elongate floating structure 55.
[0065] Conventionally, the wind-based energy generation device 67 mainly uses the wind force generated from the sea surface 35. The wind-based energy generation device 67 is configured to generate power using the rotational force of the propeller 65. The wind-based energy generation device 67 stands depending on the buoyancy of the main elongate floating structure 55. Thus, when the main elongate floating structure 55 is severely tilted, the wind-based energy generation device 67 may sink.
[0066] A renewable power generation farm for fishing work floating on a sea surface 35 comprises a plurality of floating ships 70, wherein each ship is configured to generate an energy using solar and wind power. According to the present invention, in order to prevent such sinking, a floating ship 70 is constructed as follows. First, the wind-based energy generation device 67 is secured to the main elongate floating structure 55 through the support pillar 63 attached to the center of the top face 51 of the main elongate floating structure 55. A transverse beam 48 extends perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the main elongate floating structure 55 and extends beyond the lateral edges of the main elongate floating structure 55 while it passes through the center of the top face. A longitudinal beam 53 extends in a parallel manner to the longitudinal direction of the main elongate floating structure 55 and does not protrude beyond the lateral edges of the main elongate floating structure 55 while it passes through the center of the top face. Connection beams 69 connect the both opposing ends of the transverse beam 48 and the both opposing ends of the longitudinal beam 53. Therefore, there are four connection beams 69 in total. Each of the ends of the transverse beam 48 and the longitudinal beam 53 are provided with each of solar-based energy generation devices 50. Specifically, auxiliary pillars 61 are provided at both ends of the transverse beam 48 and at both ends of the longitudinal beam 53, respectively. The auxiliary pillars 61 vertically extend through the both ends of the transverse beam 48 and the both ends of the longitudinal beam 53, respectively. At the tops of the auxiliary pillars 61 are arranged the solar-based energy generation devices 50, respectively. Auxiliary elongate floating structures 57 are disposed at the lower ends of the auxiliary pillars 61 passing through the opposite ends of the transverse beam 48. Due to this configuration, sinking of the wind-based energy generation device 67 is prevented.
[0067] In the energy generation floating ship 70 according to the present invention, the auxiliary elongate floating structure 57 maintains balance of the main elongate floating structure 55. The lower ends of the auxiliary pillars 61 passing through the both ends of the longitudinal beam 53 respectively are fixed to the top face of the main elongate floating structure 55. Two solar-based energy generation devices 50 are installed at the upper end of the auxiliary pillars 61 passing through the opposite ends of the longitudinal beam 53, respectively. Further two solar-based energy generation devices 50 are installed at the top of the auxiliary pillars 61 through the opposite ends of the transverse beam 48, respectively. Due to this configuration, the solar-based energy generation devices 50 and the wind-based energy generation device 67 can be stably maintained on the energy generation floating ship 70 while performing sustainable power generation even though the wave strikes strongly the ship 70.
[0068] In this connection, each connection bar 47 is connected via each connection ring 45 to each of the front end and the rear end of the main elongated floating structure 55 of the energy generation floating ship 70. Thus, the plurality of the energy generation floating ships 70 are connected in series in a chain manner to each other via the connection bars 47 to form one defense floating barrier 81. This prevents illegal penetration and fishing.
[0069] In this connection, the energy generation floating ship 70 has a detection device 88 in the configuration shown in
[0070] The solar-based energy generation device 50 secured to the top face 51 of the main elongate floating structure 55 floated on the sea surface 35 is exposed to the outside. Accordingly, the solar-based energy generation device 50 is weakened in its durability due to the sea breeze blowing from the sea or the contact with the salt in the seawater.
[0071] Further, particularly during a hot summer, the solar-based energy generation device 50 may be heated to an average temperature of 60 to 70 degrees Celsius.
[0072] In this connection, the air containing water vapor is filtered many times, and the filtered air is supplied to the heating section of a cover surrounding the solar-based energy generation device.
[0073] In this connection, during the process of filtering the air containing water vapor several times, condensed water is generated below the filtering section, and the generated water is stored in a separate vessel. This configuration will be described with reference to
[0074] A cover 93 surrounds the solar-based energy generation device 50 to fit the size of the solar-based energy generation device 50. The cover 93 has a heated space 84 defined therein. An air outlet tube 97 and air inlet tube 98 are configured to achieve the movement of the air to be cooled slowly between the top and bottom portion of the cover 93. The air outlet tube 97 is connected to an air discharge block 91 submerged in an evaporation region 85 defined in water 35. A pressure pump 84 is configured to blow air from the air discharge block 91 at a high pressure. Thereby, high pressure air is injected into the water 35 in the evaporation region 85. To this end, the air discharge block 91 is connected to an air discharge rod 79 having a plurality of discharge holes defined therein.
[0075] In this connection, a jacket 88 define the evaporation region 85. A filtering unit 78 is placed in the space where the seawater flows under the top face 57 of the main elongate floating structure 55. The jacket and the filtering unit 78 are connected to each other, so that the evaporation region 85 and the filtering unit 78 are connected to each other.
[0076] According to the present invention, a salt-free air supply device 67 includes the evaporation region 85, which is defined above the air discharge block 91, and the filtering unit 78, which is disposed above the evaporation region 85. The salt-free air supply device 67 supplies the decontaminated air to the heated space 84 through the air inlet tube 72 connected to the filtering unit 78.
[0077] According to the present invention, the solar-based energy generation device can be cooled. In other words, the salt contained in the seawater is filtered from air, and the filtered air is injected into the heated air generated from the solar-based energy generation device. In addition, during evaporation of water vapor, salinity is melted into the sea water and dust is filtered. As a result, desalinated and dust-free air is injected into the solar-based energy generation device to cool the solar-based energy generation device.
[0078] In this connection, the water vapor is further filtered using a filtering unit formed of a micro-porous body configured to filter the air containing water vapor. Thereby, the dehydrated pure air is supplied to the air inlet tube 98. This air is recirculated through the heating space defined in the cover 93 surrounding the solar-based energy generation device 50.
[0079] In this connection, the air inlet tube 98 is connected to a separately connected air supply pipe 94. Thereby, air further is supplied to the filtering unit 78. This replenishes the circulating air that is otherwise insufficient during operation of the device 67.
[0080] In another embodiment, the energy generation floating ship 70 is configured as follows.
[0081] The auxiliary elongate floating structures 57 are disposed at the lower ends of the auxiliary pillars 61 passing through the opposite ends of the transverse beam 48. Each of the auxiliary elongate floating structures 57 act as a floating-force generation structure 46 including a floating-force generation body 30. This suppresses a sink of the energy generation floating ship 70. The floating-force generation structure 46 may be provided with a fishing equipment 68. Thus, the energy generation floating ship 70 with the added economic benefits of providing renewable energy generation in addition to surveillance activities on the fishery is achieved.
[0082] To this end, the transverse beam 48 projects beyond the opposite lateral edges of the main elongate floating structure 55. The floating-force generation structures 46 are fixed to the both end of the transverse beam 48.
[0083] In addition, the detection device 88 provided at the upper end of each of the auxiliary pillars 63′ monitors the illegally infiltrated ship. In addition, the detection device 88 can track the position of the sun. In addition, a rotator 59′ is disposed on the upper end of the auxiliary pillars to rotate the solar-based energy generation device 50. Thereby, the orientation of the solar-based energy generation device 50 can be adjusted through the rotator 59′ based on the position of the detected sun.
[0084] In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, the floating-force generation structures 46 are fixed at the opposite ends of the transverse beam 48 that protrudes beyond the opposite lateral edges of the main elongated floating structure 55. The floating-force generation structure 46 may receive the battery 71. For this purpose, a receiving space 77 for accommodating the battery is formed. Such a receiving space may be used as a space for accommodating the fishes.
[0085] In this connection, a solar tracking device previously disclosed by the present applicant will be described.
[0086] The solar tracking device previously disclosed by the present applicant is disclosed in Korean Patent Application No. 2008-0096866 or Patent No. 0116558. This solar tracking device can be applied to the energy generation floating ship 70 according to the present invention.
[0087] The energy generation floating ship 70 is capable of performing electric power generation while moving on a sea surface 35 along a wide space. Depending on the place of stay of the ship, sunlight may be strong and/or wind force may be strong. The type of the power generation device to be activated can be controlled according to the place of stay. Thus, efficient energy generation is possible.
[0088] In another embodiment of the present invention, a vertical propeller type wind power generator 76 may be provided at the upper end of each of the auxiliary pillars 61.
[0089] The vertical propeller type wind power generator 76 employs an idle space c under the rotating space of the rotating blades 60 coupled to the upper end of the support pillar 63.
[0090] Thereby, this provides a usability of the idle space c while balancing the ship 70 against the excessively biased wind force. The vertical propeller type wind power generator 76 is coupled via a rotating bearing mechanism to the upper end of the auxiliary pillar 61 passing through each of the both ends a of the connection beam 69.
[0091] The vertical propeller type wind power generator 76 includes a rotation drum 59 having a fixed flange 58 at each of the upper and lower ends thereof, and inclined rotary vanes 54 provided on an outer surface of the rotation drum 59.
[0092] In accordance with another embodiment as shown in
[0093] In the energy generation floating ship 70 according to the present invention, the four connection beams 69 together forms not a square shape but a rhombus shape, and, thus, the auxiliary elongate floating structure 57 maintains improved balance of the main elongate floating structure 55. Due to this configuration, the solar-based energy generation devices 50 and the wind-based energy generation device 67 may be further stably maintained on the energy generation floating ship 70 while performing sustainable power generation even though the wave strikes strongly the ship 70.
[0094] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the auxiliary elongate floating structure 57 may be embodied as a floating-force generation body 64 that has a sealed void space defined therein or is filled with a foam. This allows for more stable buoyancy on the sea surface.
[0095] According to one embodiment of the present invention, there is a plurality of floating generation ships 70. The plurality of energy generation floating ships 70 may be connected to each other in series in a chain fashion to form a single defense floating barrier 81. That is, a plurality of the energy generation floating ships 70 may be connected to each other via the connection bars 47 fixed to the front end and the rear end of each main elongate floating structure 55. The connection bars 47 are connected via the connection ring 45.
[0096] The plurality of energy generation floating ships 70 may be connected to each other in series in a chain fashion to form a single defense floating barrier 81 with a predetermined length. When the plurality of the energy generation floating ships 70 may be connected to each other via the connection bars 47, the coupled connection bars 47 may be reinforced in terms of the coupling force thereof using a chain 49 as shown in
[0097] As shown in
[0098] In this connection, the inclination of the solar-based energy generation device 50 allows the wind to be directed to the rotation drum 59 of the wind-based energy generation device 67. Thus, wind power can be efficiently used.
[0099] In order to improve the practicality of the energy generation floating ship 70 according to the present invention, the energy generation floating ship 70 may be used in desertification areas in the Middle East or Africa. In these areas, sunlight is shining almost continuously throughout the year.
[0100] Land 80 in the desertification area is too dry. The sunshine in these areas is not effectively used for the renewable energy generation.
[0101] According to one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in
[0102] The condensed water may be stored in the water storage vessel 86. Thus, according to one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in
[0103] To this end, the energy generation floating ship 70 further comprises an inclined condensation unit 83 disposed in the region d below the filtering unit 78, and a water storage vessel 86 connected to a flow channel 94 for storing the condensed water from the condensation unit 83.
[0104] Adjacent to the salt-free air supply device 67, there is a second salt-free air supply device 67′. The air outlet tube 97 of the salt-free air supply device 67 and the air outlet tube 97′ of the second salt-free air supply device 67′ are connected to each other. Through a connector pipe 99, the evaporation region 85 of the salt-free air supply device 67 is connected to the filtering unit 78′ of the second salt-free air supply device 67′.
[0105] In this connection, the solar-based energy generation device 50 is fixed to the upper end of the support pillar 63. At the upper end of the solar-based energy generation device 50, a detection device 88 for monitoring a fishery field 85 or an offshore area is installed.
[0106] Further, in the sea surface 35 adjacent to the desert area, for example, the land in the Middle East region, the wind force hardly exists throughout the year, but there is abundant sunlight. The energy generation floating ship, which is easy to move over the sea surface 35 and provides protection and monitoring for fisheries 85 and utilizes the abundant sunlight in these areas, is described with reference to
[0107] In addition, on the sea level 35, the sun shines depending on the location and season. Typhoons and strong winds may be blowing depending on the season.
[0108] The configuration using the Typhoons and strong winds may be feasible. To this end, the vertical propeller type wind power generator 76 is installed to the support pillar 63. The vertical propeller type wind power generator 76 includes a rotation drum 59 having a fixed flange 58 at each of the upper and lower ends thereof, and inclined rotary vanes 54 provided on an outer surface of the rotation drum 59.
[0109] However, the vertical propeller type wind power generator 76 is exposed to the outside. Therefore, the vertical propeller type wind power generator 76 may generate rotational noise. It may also be dangerous for management. In order to solve such a problem, according to an embodiment of the present invention, an arrangement for stably supplying the electrical power using sunlight and wind power may be realized as shown in
[0110] In one embodiment, the wind-based energy generation device is disposed between the photovoltaic device and the top face of the structure 55. The wind-based energy generation device includes a rotation drum 38 through which the support pillar 63 passes, and blades 42 outwardly extending from the rotation drum 38.
