Description:
Smart Hydropower plant in the shape of ferris wheel that produce Renewable energy abstract : This patent is about a new power plant that can be set up with the least amount of external energy and can also produce sustainable energy permanently without need of fossil fuels or natural renewable sources such as wind, waves, water movement, etc. .This system works simply using simple physical laws. The structure of this power plant includes large pockets for carrying water, a central controller unit, a skeleton like a Ferris wheel , low-consumption and powerful water pumps, flexible pipes with the ability to withstand high pressures, an electric motor, a high-efficiency generator, piston arms, a gearbox, balancer flywheel. The basic of this system is that lower pockets will pumps water to the upper pockets . the result is because of filling the upper pockets by water and getting heavier than the empty pockets on the other half of the ferris wheel, the water wheel starts rotating and the generator connected to the center of this wheel starts producing energy , when the wheel reaches the desired speed the generator starts to producing energy . By connecting this produced energy to the pumps inside these pockets, the pumps will work using the produced energy by the system and the need for external energy will be disappears. Then, we can use the excess energy obtained for other purposes, such as lighting a lamp or even much more. Invention background: The power plants in the world are currently producing electricity in the following ways: 1- Combined cycle power plant (gas fuel and oil derivatives) 2- Solar power plant 3- Wind power plant 4- Hydropower plant 5- Atomic power plant (nuclear fission) In addition, human beings are currently researching two other categories for the extraction of electricity. 1- nuclear fusion power plants 2- Geothermal power plant In five of the existing technologies for generating electricity, except for solar power plants, in the rest of the cases, the power plant consists of a driver (gas turbine, wind vanes, water turbine, and nuclear fuel) and a generator. In fact, the generator starts moving using an energy source and after reaching the desired speed, it starts producing electricity. In these five mentioned methods to produce electricity in the world, the electricity generated from wind and solar power plants is known as clean energy because it does not require any fossil fuel, and nuclear power plants which also produce nuclear waste that destroys the environment. The waste cannot be destroyed. The power plants that generate electricity using the water power of dams also have limitations due to the presence of dams and the fact that dams cause environmental destruction in the long term because the nature that exists after the dams is gradually destroyed and causes problems such as fine dust and air pollution. Currently, more than 60% of the world's electricity comes from burning natural gas and petroleum products, or even coal, which has caused both air pollution and global warming by producing greenhouse gases. This subject is one of the biggest concerns of the planet. In this patent, because the device does not need any fossil fuel and other forces such as dam water power, wind power, nuclear power and sunlight, then In fact, the electricity production of this device will be one of the clean energies and it will solve one of the main concerns of mankind to produce clean electricity and reduce greenhouse gases. In the following, we will examine some of the latest similar technologies in recent years: In reference number 1, it is stated that by using water mill wheels and with the flexibility of the turbine blades and the changing angle of the blades, the maximum use of water movement can be made and the maximum amount of productivity and energy production from the movement of water in water channels in this method, there is a constant need for the existence of a water channel and the natural movement of water. In our method, the water is trapped inside the pockets and pipes, and there is no need for natural water movement in the channels. In reference number 2, it is stated that a wheel with internal wheels whose total rotation of the wheels inside the wheel is greater in terms of electricity generation is greater than the power that is needed to move the wheel. In this case, water is not used as a driver for the generating wheel, and also the method mentioned in this article needs to move forward in order to produce energy, if the system introduced in this article is stationary and only in It rotates. In reference number 3, it is stated that a wheel can be used to produce clean energy anywhere on the planet by integrating several energy production models simultaneously and so-called hybrid, which is different from the mentioned invention in terms of mechanism and functionally. similarity between these two cases. Does not exist. Description: This invention is similar in appearance to the ferris wheels of the game city, that instead of wagons, there are sealed pockets(16) (9) for carrying water (18) on the rail (19)(11). the arms of this device can be increased and decreased in length(17) (21). All the water carrying pockets are connected to other pockets by flexible and elastic pipes(23)(24) (14) (8). there is a high pressure, low consumption pump in each pocket to pump the water to other pockets (13). In the center of this spinning wheel, there is a shaft (6) connected to a gearbox (4) connected to a high-efficiency generator (5), which converts the rotating movement of this wheel into electrical energy, and there is also a flywheel to balance the set in times of imbalance (3). (Figure No.1) And finally, all the described mechanisms are connected to the central control system so that the whole process and full monitoring of all components is carried out carefully (7). (Figure No.6) At First, in order to be able to start the system, it is necessary to connect the system to the external electricity supply or even a battery and create the primary driving force for the system. At first, the system is stationary, and naturally, due to the physical properties of water, if we take the surface of the earth as a reference, the water is located in bottom to middle pockets. By connecting the system to the external energy source, the system starts and the pumps inside the pockets start working and pump the water counter-clockwise from the lower pockets to the pockets above. When the pockets above the zero angle start to be filled and the pockets that are at the 180 degree angle start to be empty, the system has an imbalance in terms of weight and to compensate for this imbalance, it starts to move to put the pockets in last position again. For this reason, this whole wheel will start to move and because the pumps that are inside the pockets containing water are working and are constantly pumping water to higher pockets, this movement would go on continuously. In order for this process to be done with the least amount of energy, all these stages are done with the smallest distance of the radial rods at the beginning (Figure No.5) and gradually, upon reaching the appropriate speed of the system, the length of these rods begins to increase and maximum distance (d) is reached. (Figure No.2) In this case, the pipes connected to the pockets will be stretched and the least amount of resistance against the movement of water would be provided. At this time, when the system has reached its maximum size (10), which is more than 5 meters, and the rotation speed has reached such a level that it is possible to get energy from the high- efficiency generator, exactly at this time, the entire system can be separated from the external energy source and supplied electricity to the system using energy Production from the central generator. (Figure No.3) this technology is based on torque production formula, which is obtained from the equation T=f.d(n.m). In this f=w=mg system, finally we use the mass (m) as one of the tools to increase the torque. Our next tool is the pocket distances from the center, because as d increases, it increases the torque, although the increase in d should be reasonable and according to technical calculations, it should not harm the whole system. By default, this system should not be designed less than r=5m, because less than this radius will decrease the efficiency. In this system, the role of m is played by water or mercury or oil or any liquid that can be pumped. One of the reasons that r>5 should be considered is to reduce the distance between the boxes and make the operation more efficient. Pumping should be done easier and faster so that we finally reach the desired cycle. In fact, the power of this system in producing electricity with high megawatts depends on r>5, it can easily provide the torque we need, which ultimately reduces the internal consumption of the system and achieve higher efficiency. The mission of the pumps is to transfer the water in the pockets from bottom pockets to the pockets above, which causes the activation of the drive system. The flywheel is also installed in order to balance the speed and store rotational energy and facilitate the continuation of the movement after the propulsion system is started. According to the calculations, the amount of electricity produced in this case is more than the amount consumed, and the excess energy produced by this generator can be used for other purposes, such as lighting lamps and make small heating systems work. (Figure No.4) For protection reasons and so that the system does not stop working, by placing a counter at the output of this system and connecting to the control center, it is possible to ensure the amount of external energy consumption does not deviate from the permissible limit and cause lack of power in the sector pumps of the system and eventually cause the output power to be cut off at times when the external consumption is more than allowed limit. (Figure No.7) Brief Description of drawings: In Figure 1, the system is depicted in general In Figure 2, in picture a, the system is depicted with short arms, and in picture b, the system is depicted with fully opened arms. Figure 3 shows a picture of the inside of the pockets and accessories related to the pump and pipes In figure number 4, picture a shows the system before it starts working, and picture b shows it after the pumps start working. Figure 5 shows the mechanism of the arms of this system Figure 6 shows the block diagram of the central control system of the set for controlling the pumps Figure 7 shows the block diagram of the consumption control system of the central controller Purpose of the invention: The removal of fossil fuels in power generator stations in power systems causes the production of carbon dioxide gases and the destruction of the ozone layer, and will cause a lot of environmental pollution. By using this system, you can get rid of dependence on renewable energies such as sunlight, wind, and water and easily provide the energy needed for urban uses.
