THE SOLAR POWER PLANT FOR MANUFACTURING ELECTRIC ENERGY IN INDUSTRIAL SCALES

The problems of the power ensuring should be considered from a position of negative influence of a power engineering on the environment and, first of all, should be to connected with saving of traditional sorts of fuels by use of alternative renewable power sources such, as the sun, wind, water, neighbouring layers of the Earth and so on.

Solar radiation can be referred to a low potential power stream at the Earth surface. Those engineering solutions, which at the moment solve this task, basically are intended for deriving hot water, air and for other auxiliary purposes. Known engineering solutions used for deriving the electric power and based on direct transformation of solar radiation into the electric power, have not found any industrial application because of their costliness and the low efficiency. And the methods, based on concentration of solar radiation up to large magnitudes, are rather complicated, are inconvenient in maintenance and give the electric power with a rather high cost price.

We know the other method, which permits in a more simple and effective way to transform solar radiation into electrical aspect of energy, and using already known knots, mechanisms and aggregates.

We have completely refused the traditional scheme of use of solar radiation (many disadvantages: the large areas taken under solar panels, reduction of efficiency of transformation of solar radiation because of a dust content of solar panels, low EFFICIENCY of transformation). We have applied the essentially new thermodynamic cycle exceeding a cycle of Carnot, Rankin, Brighton, we have used the warmth of the environment. 2 patent applications are already sent from 12.12.2000 (1. A method of gas compression and device for its realization; 2. A method of a working body cool-off and device for its realization) also positive decisions are obtained on issue of the patents - publication is stipulated by "Rospatent" in June - July 2002. 2 applications are ready for submission, including application as a whole on Solar Power Plant (SPP).

Is absent as such special heliotransduser. In quality We use heliotransduser in the capacity of natural structures accompanying residential and industrial objects, for example, loft cavities, in which air heats the summer from a roof irradiated with solar rays. In the other case air is simply used heated by the sun at a surface of ground. Hot air 15-30°C (in some breadthes can achieve magnitude and above) suck in by an air intake of SPP, which has large factor of transformation of a heat (know-how).

The application of our SPP allows to refuse from complex and expensive heliotransdusers of a mirror or tubular type. All of them have one defect - theoretically they should well reflect or absorb solar radiation, and practically under effect of a ubiquitous dust, which exists everywhere, the surface of heliotransdusers does not work as it is necessary. Nobody will naturally wipe them from a dust, it is inconvenient. Dust yard men create difficultly and expensive invention.

We apply SPP, in which the heat of the heated air in summer and winter (-10°C - -30°C is too warm from the physical point of view and our SPP will work, but only with smaller factor of transformation of heat, than in summer) is transmitted from the first colder working body to more heated second working body. The transmission of heat is carried out from one natural environment to the other with simultaneous increase of exergy of the second working body. That is why inventor of the first thermal pump (TP) lord Kelvin has named TP as the multiplier of heat.

The transfer of heat in TP by virtue of 2 law of thermodynamics is impossible without the costs of mechanical power. Then the efficiency of TP is evaluated by a conversion efficiency j, which displays in how many times, the obtained heat in unit of times more, than heat expended by the drive of TP. Best world samples of TP have j » 3-10 and consequently TP are widely applied to different technological processes on use of overflow heat to its return in a technological line-up. Existing TP with small j are hardly suitable for heating houses, cottages, as they concede to gas or electrical heating. For the TP to be economically more effective than gas heating, TP should have j ³ 30-50. And it signifies, that at a transfer price of electrical energy US $0,02-0,04 / kW*hour TP with j ³ 30 will supply the costs US $0,00013-0,0019 / kW of consumed energy. The power on an output is ensured at such consumption on an input about 50 kW of the made energy from low potential heat of an environment - air (we accept in account the worse variant - atmospheric air; factor of transformation of a heat naturally increases at any alternate variants with a overflow heat from the acting enterprises). This energy will suffice to heat any cottage. We know how to create such a TP. Having TP with large j ³ 30-50 it is more expedient to use it in power stations of new generation - SPP for manufacture of the electric power in industrial scales, the power carrier for which atmospheric air will be even with temperature lower 0°C.

It is possible to create a drive for the cargo ground transport, road and railway, water transport, and in the long term and for automobile. Our SPP with large j makes energy (thermal), which will suffice its own needs (for the own drive, that is for maintenance of a power feed), and surplus to give back to the consumer: mechanical energy for the drive of propellers (wheels, the screw propeller); for tractors; for the drive of the electrical generator with the purpose of production of the electric power.

Basis SPP is:

a. Special compressor of adiabatic compression of air is with the large efficiency = 0,99, aspiring to 1;

b. Slow-moving expansion engine with efficiency = 0,98¸0,99 (we have created such);

c. Air ventilator for a forced forcing of air in the special compressor;

d. The electrogenerator with the board of monitoring and regulation;

e. Special device for maintaining own operation;

f. Device of return positive communication - pipelines, reinforcing, regulators.

In accordance with increase of power SPP the specific power per unit mass will be augmented and at power of 200 kW can constitute 1,5-2 kW on 1 kg of a mass. On the technical essence our SPP is a drive of 2 type, for which power carrier is soft heat of an environment - air, water and s. f., heated by the sun.

SPP means some updatings:

·         For heating cottages and deriving of hot water - US $1,5-2,0 thousand;

·         100 kW for cargo means of transport (cargo, railway, tractors) in a mode of production of redundant mechanical energy - US $3 thousand;

·         5-10 MW for railway transport - US $1-3 million in a mode of production of mechanical energy;

·         100 MW in a mode of production of electrical energy - US $20 million.

Experiments confirming working capacity of our development were conducted for those nodes and aggregates, which for today nobody produces and can not produce because do not know how to do it.

Area of application: oil and marine fields, where it is necessary to avoid problems of trans-electric lines and underwater cables, extraction of potable water in droughty regions from under ground, when earlier the extraction was unprofitable; supply with the electric power from 1000 up to 10000 people, separate factories and enterprises.

We are open for contacts to western firms both on territory of Russia, and on territory of the interested firm. We are ready to produce a demonstration sample with needed power for the interested firms at their expense with obligatory registration of all legal documents.
