SOLAR WIND HYBRID PLANT WITH THE UNIQUE CHARACTERISTIC OF THE SOLAR THERMAL ENERGY TO THE WIND TURBINE SHAFT THROUGH A PNEUMATIC ACTUATOR WITH HEAT EXCHANGE BETWEEN A FLUID AND COMPRESSED AIR

摘要

it is an installation of electricity generation from exclusively clean sources that fits into the h99z technical sector; composed of wind turbine (1); pneumatic actuator (2) coupled to the wind turbine axis (1); cold water tank (3); solar plate (4); hot water tank (thermally insulated) (5); heat exchanger (6); compressed air cylinder (7); compressor (8); pneumatic solenoid valve (9); e, automatic control system (10), integrated with sensors and ihm (human-machine interface); the plant couples a primary source of energy of wind origin to a control system that directs the surplus energy that is being generated by the wind turbine to the air compression; the stored elastic energy is released when demand for consumption in the network, or when there is a lack of winds with the minimum speed required by the turbine for power generation; before serving as a driving force for the wind turbine, the compressed air passes through a heat exchanger, where the thermal energy from the solar source is stored in a tank with thermally insulated fluid; the principles of thermodynamics elucidate that the energy added to the system in the form of heat, will revert to a greater impulse capacity on the turbine by compressed air; this system aims to improve the performance of wind farms, in addition to making their supply of electric power continuous and more reliable, without the use of batteries.
