Systems, methods, and devices including modular, fixed and transportable structures incorporating solar and wind generation technologies for production of electricity

摘要

Disclosed are systems, methods, and devices related to fixed and transportable structures and vehicles utilizing the integration of solar and wind technologies for generation of electricity. The system generates electricity using solar panels (and/or solar thermal units) and wind turbines, stores and converts electricity, and can be located in various locations either as fixed or portable embodiments including on land, on water, underwater, air and space and may also be housed in a structure to provide electricity for various facilities and uses.

主权项

1. A system, comprising:
a solar power unit generating electricity from sunlight using panels that adjust relative to sunlight; a wind power unit generating electricity from wind currents using a turbine; a Supplemental Fail-Safe system which activates a motor in the turbine generator to generate electricity; a shifting unit shifting the electricity produced by the first solar unit to drive the Supplemental Fail-Safe system to generate continuous electricity during periods without wind; a battery storage system storing electricity from the solar power unit and the wind power unit; a combining unit selectively combining electricity from any combination of the battery storage system, the solar power unit and the wind power unit to output continuous electricity to produce output power from the system; a power management system directly supplying power to the turbine selectively from any combination of the solar power unit, the battery storage unit and a power grid to keep the turbine turning when wind power is insufficient to generate electricity to ready the turbine to generate electricity when wind is sufficient; a sensor means including hardware and software for monitoring weather conditions, monitoring and controlling the system, and communicating conditions of the system to a remote location; and a solar/thermal steam heat system generating electricity using a solar collector that is one of cylindrical and parabolic and focuses received sunlight captured by the solar collector onto one of a straight, curved and coiled mechanism containing a liquid that when heated changes to steam, activating a steam turbine generator and one of outputting and storing electricity, wherein a wind turbine is kept turning by electricity selectively from any combination of the solar means, the storage means and a power grid when wind is insufficient.
