PURPOSE:To store energy with a simple facility by converting sunlight energy into electric energy with a solar battery, driving a compressor with a motor, storing compressed air in a pressure tank, and again converting the pressure energy into electric energy with a turbine and a power generator. CONSTITUTION:Sunlight energy is converted into electric energy by a solar battery 2, the obtained DC current is rectified and voltage-controlled by a thyristor 3 and a capacitor 4, and it is converted into the AC output by an inverter 5 and fed to a motor 6. A compressor 7 is driven by the motor 6 to generate compressed air, and the compressed air is stored in a pressure tank 8 as pressure energy. The compressed air is taken out as required to drive a turbine 9, and electric power is generated by a power generator 10 operated by the turbine 9. The obtained electric power is fed to a power controller 11, and the power generation capacity of the power generator 10 is adjusted by the power controller 11. |
