Technical Field

The present invention relates to poles and devices for generating energy and using the generated energy for illumination, the camera, and electronic devices.

In particular, the present invention relates to a vertical type solar energy collection and transfer system and the product for meeting the energy requirement in a novel device, wherein solar panels, battery groups, control unit, control system, and energy transfer system are designed integrally and equipped with an apparatus, such that it is suitable for every pole and vertical surfaces.

State of the Art

There are articles used to meet the energy requirement by being mounted, where there is energy requirement in fields such as illumination and communication. There are various embodiments, in which the electric energy generated through solar energy is used.

Poles used are employed by way of positioning only illumination, camera, and various electronic devices. There is no functional structure, wherein all elements may be mounted on a structure and the energy consumption may be controlled.

Since the amounts of energy generation-consumption-storage cannot be adjusted based on the device to be used on the pole, there may occur problems that an excessive amount of energy is consumed, the energy received cannot be consumed in accordance with the requirement or the inefficient operation may appear.

Problems resulting from the energy generation-consumption balance cause the devices to operate inefficiently and insufficiently. For example, sources may be consumed swiftly, since the illumination intensity cannot be adjusted while requiring a better illumination property or the generated energy cannot be stored.

It is required structures, in which multiple electronic devices may be used on the area based on the energy requirement. Since there is no system that manages the energy sources by calculating the amount of the energy consumption thereon based on its energy requirement, there may occur problems that the energy requirement may increase due to the addition of further electronic devices over time.

The solar panel both may be used mechanically in a body and may also be formed through the combination of various mechanic and/or electrical panels. It is required a novel technical solution; wherein electronic devices may be mounted on a vertical structure based on the desire and requirement and the energy requirement may be adjusted autonomously based on the device mounted.

In the patent application TR 2018/04355, it is disclosed a multi functional mobile energy collection and storage pole that comprises a wind turbine, solar panel, and energy storage battery designed for daily requirement, environmental illumination, first aid, rescue, and environmental safety measures, that provides an uninterrupted electricity day and night by means of solar and wind energy in places, where there is no electricity. However, the structure herein is not a structure, on which various electronic devices may be mounted. It is not disclosed a structure that performs the energy management based on the energy requirement and accordingly follows up autonomously its energy consumption. It is exploited renewable energy sources just to provide uninterrupted power. However, the energy herein cannot be controlled and managed.

Detailed Description of Invention As seen in Figures, it is developed a product used to meet the energy requirement by being mounted places such as illumination communication, where the energy is required.

It is mounted to desired poles at the lower portion by means of the pole connection element (3). Solar panels (2) are positioned on the battery group (2) and battery box (4), on which batteries are positioned. Solar panel carrier (5) carries solar panels (1) in a body shape thereon. It is contained the software through which the system is controlled, DC-DC/DC-AC converters, solar panel (1) driver, and battery chargers in the control unit (6).

It is fastened on the surfaces from its upper portion by means of the wall bracket (7). Illumination element (10), camera (11), and various electronic devices can be mounted on the pipe connection flange (8) and pole connection element (3). The illumination element (10) in the form of an illumination armature is mounted from the illumination element body (12) by means of the pole connection element (3).

Energy received from solar panels (1) by employing solar drivers in the control unit (6) is collected through the battery charger from the battery group (2) and transferred to the electronic devices by means of DC-DC or DC-AC converters.

It can be mounted to every sort of poles by means of pole connection elements (3) that can be adjusted based on the pole diameter. It can be mounted to every sort of surfaces by means of the pole connection element (3) and surface mounting apparatus. The device, solar panel, and product developed are positioned vertically to the ground.

Battery group (2) and control unit (6) is positioned at the top portion of the product. It can be used in multiple numbers in the same area based on the energy requirement. The number of solar panels (1) may be varied based on the desire, wherein an integrated system may be established in a single, dual, or multiple manner.

Solar panels both can be mechanically in an integrated form and may be formed of multiple mechanical and/or electric components. It may be used every sort of batter in one or more numbers in the device.

It is formed a pipe connection flange (8) at the upper portion so as to mount all electric and electronic devices such as illumination elements (10), sensor operation, camera (11) that operate on AC or DC electricity for the final intended purpose of the product.

Control unit (6) comprises the software algorithm "the determination of the energy to be output based on the amount of the energy collected daily", the software algorithm "the determination of the minimum amount of the energy to be stored in the battery" and the software algorithm "the assumption of the future energy collection based on the mounting location of the device".

The software algorithm "the determination of the energy to be output based on the energy amount collected daily" operates as stated in the following:

The amount of energy received from solar panels (1) and stored in batteries in the battery group (2) are continuously measured by the software on the system. It is adjusted the amount of the energy to be output based on the energy amount received from the solar panels (1). This adjustment is performed depending on the values pre-input in the software and the calculations of the software algorithm.

The amount of the "maximum input energy (MIE) " refers to the maximum solar energy that the solar panels can receive under ideal conditions and determined by the panel manufacturers. The amount of the "maximum output energy (MAE) " refers to the maximum energy amount available in the hardware, which can be transferred by the product, and determined in the manufacturing process of the product. The amount of the "energy to be output" is found by means of multiplying the amount of the "output maximum energy" with the coefficient achieved by way of calculating the available "received solar energy" of the software with the amount of the "maximum input energy (MIE) " based on the geographical region, in which the product is located. The formula is given in the following.

K (Coefficient of performance) = Received solar energy / Maximum input energy (MIE)

Energy to be output = K * Maximum output energy (MAE)

The algorithm for determining the amount of the minimum energy to be stored in the batter is as follows:

Solar energy transfer is slightly poor under overcast weather, the software on the product memorizes the number of overcast weather days in the geographical region, in which the product operates, and determines the amount of the energy to be stored in the battery in the battery group (2) based on the maximum number of the overcast weather days. That is, it is ensured to comprise a sufficient amount of energy that meets the maximum overcast weather days in the battery group (2).

It is found the maximum overcast (cloudy) weather days and calculated the amount of the energy to be stored.

The algorithm for the assumption of the future energy collection based on the location conditions, in which the product is mounted, operates as follows:

Based on the location conditions, in which the product is mounted, it is determined how much all problems such as angle and orientation of the solar panels (1), a shadow falling on the solar panel (1), dust, etc. to decrease the solar energy collection on the panel decrease the amount of the energy collected. The amount of the decrease is determined as a coefficient and the coefficient is updated continuously and the coefficient found is used in the assumption of the energy amount to be collected in the future.

Total results of the algorithm become functional as follows: It is ensured that the product is adapted to the geographical region by means of the use of three algorithms together and the energy amount to be stored is determined through the future assumptions and thus, it is experienced no interruption by determining accurately how much power will be output. These values will be different for every region in which the product operates and for all products to operate in the same region.

The algorithms and solar panels (1) constitute an energy source that never experiences power failure regardless of geographical location and adopts to place, where it is mounted, by means of physical features of the solar energy storage unit formed in the battery group (2).

The physical operation mode of the invention and advantages are as follows: The most important advantage of the solar panels (1) positioned vertically in different directions is that the amount of the energy to be received is slightly affected by the location values, in which the product is mounted. This result is achieved through the absolute horizontal and absolute vertical solar panel (1) position, however, it is preferred vertical position, since the horizontal position constitutes disadvantages.

Another advantage of the solar panels (1) positioned vertically in multiple different directions is that the energy received does not vary on daily basis. It is ensured that the electronic component, namely the control unit (6) that processes and transfers the energy causes less cost and simpler because this power does not vary so much. By means of the solar panels positioned in three orientations, sunlight will hit vertically to the panel facing eastwards upon the sunrise and the most power will be collected on this panel. The power obtained through the vertical solar panel (1) positioned southwards will increase at noon and the stable power obtained through the solar panel (1) facing eastwards will decrease or remain stable due to the angle of the sun.

The power obtained through the solar panel (1) positioned southwards will not increase significantly due to an increase of the sun's angle of incidence, even though it exhibits a certain increase and the increase in the total energy amount will be limited. The energy amounts obtained through the solar panels (1) positioned east- and westwards will be balanced at noon and the amount of the energy generated by the solar panel (1) positioned southwards will be the most. After noon, the amount of the energy generated by the solar panel (1) facing eastwards will decrease, while the amount of the energy generated by the solar panel (1) facing westwards will increase. Even though the amount of the energy generated by the solar panel (1) positioned southwards exhibits increase tendencies due to the decrease of the vertical angle according to the sun, the amount of the energy obtained from the sun will not change much, because the horizontal angle will increase.

Energy curves obtained herein provides energy generation planning at two different periods of time. These are grouped in two, namely the period starting with the sunrise and proceeding until the peak point of the sun at noon and the period starting with the peak point of the sun at noon and proceeding until the sunset.

It is seen in graphs during the operation that the amounts of energy generated by the solar panels (1) positioned west- and eastwards remain the same and the energy generation of the solar panel (1) positioned southwards does not change much in times, in which the significant amount of energy is obtained. Thus, the amount of the energy generated by the solar panels (1) positioned east- and westwards does not change much, and further, the amount of the energy to be added in the total amount generated by the solar panel (1) positioned southwards does not change much the variation amount of the result in a day. The most efficient and low-cost solar panel (1) energy collection system is achieved by means of the solar panels (1) positioned in three different orientations .
