DESC:HYBRID NON-CONVENTIONAL ENERGY EXTRACTION PLANT FROM SEA SHORE

FIELD OF THE INVENTION :
[001] The Present invention relates to the field of non-conventional energy extraction process. In particular, it relates to the field of hybridized energy extraction process.

[002] The invention is provided to extract the maximum Non-conventional energy in hybridised manner to get more output for society requirements without any damage to environment in effective manner at a single unit.

BACKGROUND/PRIOR ART OF THE INVENTION :
[003] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.

[004] Oceanic water covers 71% of the Earth's total surface which offers a vast space for various technologies development without facing population density and land availability issues. This is very essential if enough electricity can be produced to meet the world's energy needs.

[005] Being the potentiality of higher capacity wind and solar energy, the ocean belt allows to generate power from other sources such as waves, Tides and current for further utilization of power.

[006] The day to day increase in pollution level is due to increasing electricity and water consumption requirements. Presently all alternative sources are also increasing pollution. Moreover, the individual units of conventional power generation require more investments in terms of constructional expenditure and area to run through.

[007] Therefore, there is a need for more conventional sources for maximizing power generation and reducing carbon footprints.
[008] Hence, a single Hybridized plant can provide better out puts in lesser expenses and area requirements.
[009] Some of the prior art as described below are for analysing present problems and solution provided by instant invention.

[0010] The patent literature 7566/DELNP/2O11 teaches a Tide Activated Device to operate a Turbine Generator which is only for wave through hydraulic mode. It has at least two cylinders in series. Each cylinder has a chamber holding a piston movable in the chamber defining a pair of variable size chambers. As the barge rises and falls on the tide in the lagoon the variable size chambers vary in size and force a working fluid to a turbine generator to create electrical energy.

[0011] IN 201941050056: This invention proposes a system of multiple sources of energy derived from speech, lightning and water falling wherein these energies are converted into electrical energy and stored in rechargeable batteries for use later. This invention proposes introducing a novel multi power supply system called multi-switch on /off system. These switches provides respective sources like speech energy, lightning energy and water fall method.
[0012] IN 202037056475: It includes a hybrid energy system of a combined cycle gas-turbine (CCGT) generator system configured to provide up to a full-load power output and an energy storage device configured to store energy, and methods of operating such hybrid energy systems. The hybrid energy system includes a generator step-up transformer, in which the turbine generator, steam turbine generator and the storage device are electrically co-located on a low side of the step-up transformer. Methods of operation include controlling power output from the storage device and/or the CCGT system so that total power output by the CCGT system exhibits responses to up-power and down-power demand transients as if the system were a gas turbine-only power system.

[0013] None of the above can fulfil the requirements for which the present invention has been designed. Hence, the present invention has been introduced.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION :
[0014] It is therefore primary object of the invention to solve aforementioned problems by providing a hybridized source of power generation at a single unit.

[0015] Another object of the invention is to Hybridize non-conventional sources of power generation to get more efficiency and returns.

[0016] Yet another object of the invention is to provide optimum use of Non-conventional resources, maximum coastline sources and Solar radiations.

[0017] Still another object of the invention is to meet the day-to-day electric Energy requirements.

DETAIL DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION WITH REFERENCE TO THE ACCOMPANYING DRAWINGS OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT(S) :

[0029] While the embodiments of the disclosure are subject to various modifications and alternative forms, specific embodiment thereof have been shown by way of example in the figures and will be described below. It should be understood, however, that it is not intended to limit the disclosure to the particular forms disclosed, but on the contrary, the disclosure is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternative falling within the scope of the disclosure.

[0030] The present invention makes a disclosure regarding a technology pertaining to Hybrid non-conventional energy extraction plant from sea- shore. The present invention utilizes the following energy from Sea:
1- Wave’s oscillation energy 2- Tide Energy (Normal Tide, High Tide and Low Tide) 3- Solar Energy 4- Wind Energy in optimum ways (details shown in figure) at offshore zone 5- Ocean Hydro Energy.

[0031] Thus, the instant invention meets the requirements of Wave Energy, Tide Energy, Wind Energy, Solar Energy, Desalinate and Ocean hydroelectricity in a single unit/platform.
Now, reference may be made to Figure 1 and 2.

Wave Energy system:
The oscillation moments of the ocean waves are connected to the floater and Pneumatic actuator vide links. Due to upwards and downwards moments of floater due to the oscillation tendency of wave, the air inside piston is pressurized and compressed in the cylinders and releases through Non return valve fitted in each floaters and collected in compressed air storage Tank chambers. Further cumulative storage airs are then injected to Turbine after passing in preheating zone to generate electricity through Generator (Open Air Turbine Cycle followed) continuously. The total platform is in a closed loop area in line with a circular closed bridge which resists the wind speed from further erosion impact.
The advantage is, as the wave heights is not constant always in ocean and it varies from time to time, the linear alternator produced current / other process may not provide the continues output. Henceforth, to obtain the continuity in power generation / supply, the above method is best suitable.

Wind Energy system:
The wind mills are mounted from the foundation i.e. from bottom surface which works as a main pillar for the total platform. The upper portion (above platform) only acts for holding the wind mills and its turbine. The wind mills are in zig zag arrangements so the resistance of one mill could not impact others. The continuous wind at ocean field provides continuous power generation without any impact on environment.

Solar Energy system:
Solar panels (PV cells) are connected in series on the platform. The PV cells are able to get clear sunlight and its output provides good results. PV cells output is DC power which is further converted to Alternative current (AC), which is utilized for Air preheater, Auxiliary supply line and lighting alone and further at battery storage.

Tidal current Energy system:
The tides are able to rotate the propellers which are vertically fixed with smaller supporting pillars, in the platform and the to and Fro motion of tide tends (horizontal to earth) to provide the rotary moments and thus the Linear motion towards sea shore of Tides is collected and sent to a single Auxiliary generator though various crank shaft mechanism arrangements to generate electricity which is independent. This independent generator allows lower power generation which is in addition to the main generation. From the maintenance point of view, in case of any difficulty to the particular line, other sources will be operational.
If the tidal current velocity is more than 3 .1 M/s (6.0 kts) of the particular location, then the current turbine is accommodated in the offshore zone for additional energy extraction.

Ocean Hydro Energy system:
The upper surface of ocean water is always oscillating. Due to this the uplift tendency of sea water and in result of buoy, the multiple reciprocating pumps are fitted in the surf zone area of sea in such a manner that, the bottom portion of pump is anchored to heavy dead weight load at ground and the upper portion is connected to the floater.
During reciprocating motion for the effect of wave, the sea water pressurizes towards the output pipe line which is connected to the main pipe line. The collected pressurized water is then stored in the storage pond at back shore zone and further it is injected towards turbine for power generation. Since the continuous pump output pressure is not able to maintain because the fluctuation in pump lift in throughout the day /season, the storing and further injecting to the turbine is most effective for continuous power and constant power output as hydro energy. The discharged water will flow out to the ocean by passing through Desalination plant.

Desalination system:
As Ocean water has salinity property, it is collected in a chamber from the discharge water line of Hydro Energy plant time to time as per predefined data by opening and closing the valves. The entry valve towards each desalination unit is routed and the main valve is opened to allow the salt water to enter to each channel of the desalination chamber. Once all pots are full, the main entry valve closes automatically. After a period of time of evaporation from each chamber, the concentration level of water goes up. Hence, based on the sensor data the entry and exist valves open and allow all the concentrated water release to ocean. Then the new water takes it’s place and valves of both exit and entry lines are closed.
This facility is located in back shore zone area, where the multiple chambers are placed for more water collection. Each chamber is a closed chamber and the walls are painted with black color coating, whereas the upper surface is made up from transparent glass.
During the day time the Sun light passes through the glass and due to the green house heating effect the water starts evaporation. The evaporated water heated inside the glass chamber and droplets are accumulated through the drain line fitted in the end of glass and passes towards condenser for cooling and storage to further supply to households.

INTEGRATION AND OUTPUT:
Now, reference may be made to Figure 3.
The Power output Direct current (DC) from solar panel during the day time is converted to Alternative current (AC), which is utilized for Air preheater, Auxiliary supply line and lighting alone and further at battery storage.
However, the output powers from Wave energy, Tidal energy, Wind mill and Hydro power are in the form of Alternative current (AC) and all these fours outputs power supply are connected to a Sink panel for merging after the due balancing of the variable frequency, phase sequence and Variable volts through suitable electronic module to make a single output from Sink panel for further Grid supply.

ADVANTAGES OF THE INVENTION :
• To reduce net loss on constructional expenses.
• To Hybridise to get more efficiency and maximum renewable power.
• Optimum use of Non-conventional resources, India’s maximum Coastline sources and Solar radiations.
• To reduce the water scarcity in sea shore area.
