DESC:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a re-circulation based hydro-power generation system that is capable of recirculating water stored in a storage area in order to avoid the wastage of water that aids in the advancement in the power generation industries by increasing the efficiency of the power production process.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The demand for electricity from regional power grids fluctuates significantly over time and is not consistent. Power demand typically rises significantly during the day and is low at night. Electrical networks frequently have two unique peak demand times, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. The demand for electricity varies greatly depending on the day of the week, being higher from Monday through Friday and lower on weekends. Additionally, there are significant seasonal variations, with summer demand typically being significantly higher than the rest of the year. To adjust the electricity output of coal and nuclear power plants to the changing load demand would be costly and technically challenging. Instead, peaking power is typically provided by either combustion-fired, low-cost units (such as turbines or combined-cycle plants) or by energy storage units, which absorb excess power from base-load plants during times of low electricity demand and discharge it back into the grid during times of high demand. At the moment, expensive generator units are kept hot and ready to produce enormous blocks of power on short notice.
[0003] Conventionally, Batteries, flywheels, and superconducting energy storage (SMES), among other existing technologies for electrical power storage, are typically too expensive and challenging, or too site-restrictive, like pumped hydro. The vast majority of peak power demand must be met by fossil fuel peaking power plants, such as gas turbines, or by purchasing from remote power grids in order to be useful. These power generators typically run-on gas or oil as fuel. In fact, many devices are made to burn either fuel and can switch between the two depending on which is most affordable at any particular moment. Peak electricity costs will continue to rise as a result of the long-term upward trend in oil and natural gas prices. Hence, there is a requirement to develop a system that is capable of eliminating the high cost.

[0009] Conventionally, many systems have been developed that possesses a potential to allow the flow of water through a turbine in the current hydroelectric power plants from the upper reservoir to the lower reservoir to produce electricity. However, none of this system provides a means for circulation of water between the upper and lower reservoirs.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0021] The following description includes the preferred best mode of one embodiment of the present invention. It will be clear from this description of the invention that the invention is not limited to these illustrated embodiments but that the invention also includes a variety of modifications and embodiments thereto. Therefore, the present description should be seen as illustrative and not limiting. While the invention is susceptible to various modifications and alternative constructions, it should be understood, that there is no intention to limit the invention to the specific form disclosed, but, on the contrary, the invention is to cover all modifications, alternative constructions, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the claims.
[0022] In any embodiment described herein, the open-ended terms "comprising," "comprises,” and the like (which are synonymous with "including," "having” and "characterized by") may be replaced by the respective partially closed phrases "consisting essentially of," consists essentially of," and the like or the respective closed phrases "consisting of," "consists of, the like.
[0023] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.
[0024] The present invention relates to a re-circulation based hydro-power generation system having a potential to transfer the stored water from a certain height to the power generation unit by using the earth’s gravity phenomenon. In addition, this water used in power generation unit is again transferred back to the initial position in order to aid the system to recirculate the water that aids in prevention of the wastage/discarding of water.
[0025] The system discloses about an upper reservoir 1 stored with water that is constructed on a ground surface. The upper reservoir 1 mentioned herein is a cuboidal shaped structure that is established on ground surface and is constructed of rocks, reinforced concrete and thermo mechanically treated (TMT) bars (500 W TMT bar). As concrete has a good compressive strength but poor tensile strength, so the concrete is reinforced with thermo mechanically treated (TMT) bars in order to enhance the tensile strength of the upper reservoir 1 that increases the capability of the upper reservoir 1 for storing water. A hollow channel 2 is coupled with the upper reservoir 1 for translating the water from the upper reservoir 1 to a lower reservoir 3. The upper reservoir 1 is enclosed with a turbine 4 that aids in generation of electricity as illustrated in Figure 1.
[0026] The hollow channel 2 is ideally a seamless hollow steel pipe that translates the water stored in the upper reservoir 1 to the surface of the turbine blades. The seamless hollow steel pipe is specifically used as a channel 2 for translating water because it is capable of bearing the high-pressure flow of water that is stored in the reservoir. The specific reason of the flowing of water from the upper reservoir 1 to the lower reservoir 3 is gravity. As the hollow channel 2 is positioned at the lower portion of the upper reservoir 1, so the whole mass of the water stored inside the upper reservoir 1 is discharged with high pressure from the upper reservoir 1 through the hollow channel 2 where gravity acts as a major translating factor. When the water hits the surface of the turbine blades, it makes the turbine 4 to rotate that in turn aids in generation of electricity.
[0027] The turbine 4 comprises of multiple blades that are assembled with the hub portion of the turbine 4 in a perpendicular orientation, wherein each of the blade is assembled at an equidistant from each other. When the water is hitting the surface of the blades of the turbine 4, the turbine 4 rotates in the direction of the force applied by the discharged water. The force of the water is directly proportion to the total mass of the water stored in the upper reservoir 1. If the mass increases, the hitting force of the discharged water also increases as gravity act as a constant factor and it does not vary like the mass of the water. The turbine 4 is further assembled with generator via a shaft, wherein the shaft of the turbine 4 and the shaft of the generator is coupled with a flange coupling. The rotation of the turbine 4 converts the hydro energy to a mechanical energy, wherein the generator converts the mechanical energy to the electrical energy. The flange coupling aids the turbine 4 to translate the rotational mechanical energy to the generator, wherein the mechanical energy rotates the rotor in the generator around the stator that is fixed inside the generator in order to generate electricity.
[0028] After the water is used by the turbine 4, the water gets accumulated inside the lower reservoir 3. Multiple number of elongated beams 5 each having a first and second portion 6, 7 established to be positioned on walls 19 that are constructed in close proximity to the upper reservoir 1. The walls 19 are constructed with the mixture of cement, sand and water layered in between the bricks that aids the brick to pile upon one another in a stable manner in order to maintain an optimum compressive strength that aids the wall 19 to bear the weight of the elongated beams 5. A lifting tower 9 is assembled in between the beams 5 and the walls 19 that aids in positioning the beam 5 at a certain height that ideally ranges within 45 to 50 feet. Then beam 5 and the lifting tower 9 together forms a T-shaped structure. The beam 5 and the lifting tower 9 is made up of multiple metallic channels linked with each other via pins that form a truss like structure. The metallic link are usually mild steels that is capable to withstand with the load of the container 13 arranged in the second portion 7 of the beam 5 and a counter weight assembled at the first portion 6 of the beam 5 as illustrated in Figure 2 and 3.
[0029] Truss is a triangle-shaped structural member that comprises of multiple metallic links co-joined with each other by pin joints. As the container 13 is arranged in the second portion 7 of the beam 5 and a counter weight is assembled at the first portion 6 of the beam 5 that exerts a load on the beam 5 as well as on the lifting tower 9. This load produces a compression force on the wall 19 and on the lifting tower 9. However, the pinned connections at every junction in the truss members aids in transferring the shear moment forces from one member to another and helps in maintaining an equal load distribution. The height of lifting tower 9 normally ranges from 28 to 32 feet and is attached with a stand post 15 at its base portion. The stand post 15 is a thick metal plate made up of stainless steel and is bolted with multiple number of bolts on the wall 19 in order to stable the tower 9 on the wall 19.
[0030] A pair of hydraulically operated lifting jacks 10 assembled in between each of the beams 5 and towers 9 for providing a see-saw movement to the beams 5. As in the initial condition the weight of the solid block 14 that act as a counter weight is always more than the weight of empty container 13. Due to the mass of the solid block 14 the beam 5 remains tilted towards its first portion 6 as the container 13 is empty and the mass of the empty container 13 is less than the mass of the solid block 14 assembled in the first portion 6. One of the hydraulic jacks 10 is assembled at the side of the first portion 6 of the beam 5 and another hydraulic jack 10 is assembled at the second portion 7 of the beam 5. After the water is collected in the lower reservoir 3, the control unit interlinked with the pair of hydraulic jacks 10 directs the jack 10 that is present in the side of the first portion 6 of the beam 5.
[0031] For example, let’s consider the beam 5 which is used herein has three co-ordinates that are mainly A, B, C, wherein A, B is denoted as L1 and B, C is L2. L1 is the length of the beam 5 from the solid block 14 assembled in the first portion 6 of the beam 5 to the hydraulic jack 10 and the L2 is the length of the beam 5 from the hydraulic jack 10 to the container 13 assembled in the second portion 7 of the beam 5. The hydraulic jack 10 assembled at the first portion 6 works by pumping oil through two cylinders using a plunger. When the pump plunger is pulled back, the suction valve opens and oil is pumped into the pump chamber. As the plunger is pulled down, the oil is discharged into the cylinder chamber via an external discharge valve. After then, the suction valve closes, allowing pressure to build up within the chamber, forcing the piston to rise and lift L1 that aids the L2 to move downwards and position the empty container 13 in proximity to the lower reservoir 3.
[0032] As the container 13 is positioned downwards towards the lower reservoir 3, then an inlet hose 12 configured with the container 13 is engaged with an outlet of the lower reservoir 3. Multiple number of frames 18 assembled on the boundary enclosing the upper reservoir 1. As the container 13 is move downwards by tilting the L2 in proximity to the lower reservoir 3, then the control unit actuates multiple number of wheels 17 assembled beneath the frame 18. The control unit regulates the motor coupled with the driving wheel 17 of the frame 18 via shaft. The motor draws power from the electrical supply ideally a battery and converts the electrical energy to mechanical rotatable energy that aids the wheel 17 to rotate and maneuver the frame 18 in order to position the multiple flexible tubes 16 attached on each of the frames 18 in between the inlet hose 12 of the containers 13 and outlets of the lower reservoir 3 as illustrated in Figure 4 and 5.
[0033] The flexible tube 16 is a rubberized material that aids the tube 16 to be flexible in nature and is hollow from inside. The internal diameter of the flexible tube 16 is equal to the outer diameter of the inlet hose 12 of the container 13 and the outlet of the lower reservoir 3. The proximal end of the flexible tube 16 is connected with the inlet hose 12 and the distal end of the flexible tube 16 is connected with the outlet of the lower reservoir 3. The control unit then activates multiple laser sensor integrated on the frame 18 comprises of a laser emitter and a receiver, wherein the laser sensors work by sending out a laser light via the leaser emitter. The laser emitter of the laser sensor acts as a laser emitter to emit the laser light and a receiver receives the reflected light respectively. As the laser emitter sends the laser, the light hits a surface of the co-joined junction where the proximal end of the tube 16 is co-joined with the inlet hose 12 and the distal end of the tube 16 is co-joined with the outlet that is in proximity to the frame 18 and reflects back to the receiver.
[0034] Then the laser sensor analyses the thickness of the co-joined junction by measuring time lapses between the sending and receiving of the laser light. As the laser sensor analyses the thickness, the laser sensor converts the measured thickness into electrical signal and transmit that signal to the control unit. The control unit then determines the measured thickness in order to confirm the proper alignment of the tube 16 with the inlet hose 12 and the outlet. The control unit then actuates the pump integrated inside the lower reservoir 3 and interconnected with the primary ECV (Electronically Controlled Valve) assembled within each of the outlets.
[0035] This pump comprises of a piston or a turbine 4 to produce a partial vacuum to draw the water out of the lower reservoir 3. The same piston is then regulated by the control unit in order to increase the pressure of the water. This pressure, in turn, pushes the water out of the pump and down the pipes through the outlet via the primary ECV (Electronically Controlled Valve). The microcontroller then actuates the primary ECV (Electronically Controlled Valve) to properly transfer the water from the lower reservoir 3 to the empty container 13 via the flexible tube 16. The inlet hose 12 of the container 13 then dispenses the water and allow the container 13 to get filled with water in an appropriate manner. The capacity of the container 13 ranges within 9500 liters to 10,000 liters.
[0036] The control unit then activates the level sensor ideally an optical level sensor integrated within the container 13. The optical level sensors consist of two main parts ideally an infrared LED (Light emitting Diode) coupled with a light transistor, and a transparent prism tip in the front. The LED (Light emitting Diode) projects an infrared light outward. When the optical level sensors tip is surrounded by air the light reacts by bouncing back within the tip before returning to the transistor. When the optical level sensors are immersed in any fluid or liquid, the light disperses throughout and less is returned to the transistor. The amount of returned light to the transistor affects output levels, making point level sensing possible. The output level is then transmitted to the control unit. The control unit then processes the output in order to measure the amount of water transferred within the container 13.
[0037] The control unit then compares the quantity with the threshold value and if the control unit determines that the amount of water is equivalent to the container’s maximum storing capacity, then the control unit actuates another hydraulic jack 10 assembled on the second portion 7 in order to lift the L2 along with the container 13. However, the actuating force of the piston is regulated by the control unit in accordance to the difference in the weight of the water filled container 13 and the soli block 14 that act as counter weight. For example, if the weight of the solid block 14 is denoted as W1 and the weight of the container 13 when filled or unfilled with water is denoted as W2. In case the W1 is greater than W2 and the L2 portion is tilted towards downward direction, the hydraulic jack 10 present in the second portion 7 is required to provide minimum amount of force for lifting the container 13.
[0038] In case the W2 is greater than W1 and the L2 portion is tilted towards downward direction, the hydraulic jack 10 present in the second portion 7 is required to provide maximum amount of force for lifting the container 13. The actuation of the pair of hydraulic jacks 10 in a sequential manner aids the beam 5 to tilt over the tower 9 by creating a simple harmonic motion. The bearing arrangement 11 that is configured between the jacks 10 and beams 5. The Bearing arrangement 11 comprises of multiple number of spherical ball bearings that are made up of stainless steel in order to reduce friction by providing a movement to the smooth spherical ball bearings along the surface of the beam 5. These spherical ball bearings bear the load of the beam 5, by allowing to tilt the beam 5 smoothly.
[0039] After the container 13 is lifted at a predefined height, the control unit actuates the secondary ECV (Electronically Controlled Valve) assembled at an opening 8 constructed on the container 13 for dispensing the water towards a flexible pipe coupled between the opening 8 and inlets of the upper reservoir 1. The flexible pipe is a rubberized material that aids the pipe to be flexible in nature and is hollow from inside. The internal diameter of the flexible pipe is equal to the outer diameter of the inlet of the upper reservoir 1 and the opening 8 of the container 13. The proximal end of the flexible pipe is connected with the inlet of the upper reservoir 1 and the distal end of the flexible pipe is connected with the opening 8 of the container 13. After successfully lifting the container 13, the microcontroller regulates the secondary ECV (Electronically Controlled Valve) in order to translate the dispensed water from the container 13 to the upper reservoir 1 via the flexible pipe to perform recirculation of the water which in turn aids in generation of the electricity as illustrated in Figure 3 and 4.
[0040] In another embodiment of the present invention, the proposed system is more enhanced than the conventional systems present till data in the field of electric power consumption. For example in the existing systems if a motor with approximately one horsepower (1 HP), which is equal to approximately 746 watts, runs continuously for approximately 24 hours, then approximately 17904 watt-hours of power will be used during that time. It is roughly comparable to approximately 18 units. Therefore, the existing systems uses approximately up to 18 units in a day. Depending on the situation and prior knowledge, approximately 6000 liters of water is released in an hour. Then, approximately 144,000 liters will be released in approximately 24 hours. Therefore, approximately 144,000 liters of fuel require for approximately 18 units of current technology's electricity usage. However, in the present invention the proposed system comprises of a water box that is capable of holding approximately 10,000 liters of water. Approximately in an hour, the proposed system is capable of lifting approximately 30 times as much water, or approximately 300,000 liters. As a result, the proposed system has the capacity to transfer approximately 7,200,000 liters of water from lower to upper reservoirs. A hydraulic jack has been used in our proposed system to elevate water that is only active for approximately half of the day, or approximately for 12 hours out of every 24 hours. Therefore, to lift approximately 7,200,000 Liters, our suggested technology only needs approximately 9 units of electricity. Thus, it can be stated that the proposed system is capable of lifting approximately 50 times as much as existing technology with only a reduction in electricity use of half.
