Multi-source renewable energy station

摘要

The renewable energy station comprising: a housing containing a main central controller and an electrical power distribution center connected to this main central controller. The station comprises wind turbines solar panels, batteries, and a gas/diesel engine-generator. Loads are connected to the electrical power distribution center. The wind turbines and the solar panels are grouped into a plurality of generating cells wherein each generating cell comprises at least one wind turbine and at least one solar panel. The main central controller and the electrical distribution center jointly have switching and control equipment therein for selectively connecting and disconnecting each of the loads to and from the electrical power distribution center. Reactive-type loads are given priority over resistive-type loads. The heat from the gas/diesel engine-generator is used to melt snow and ice from the solar panels. Tandem connection of two stations is done via an inlet receptacle on each station.

主权项

1. A renewable energy station for providing electrical power to a user in an off-grid environment, comprising:
a housing containing a main central controller and an electrical power distribution center connected to said main central controller; a plurality of wind turbines attached to said housing and connected to said main central controller and to said electrical power distribution center for generating wind-source electrical power and for making available said wind-source electrical power to said electrical power distribution center; a plurality of solar panels attached to outside surfaces of said housing and connected to said main central controller and to said electrical power distribution center for generating solar-source electrical power and for making available said solar-source electrical power to said electrical power distribution center; a plurality of loads connected to said electrical power distribution center; said wind turbines and said solar panels being grouped into a plurality of generating cells wherein each of said generating cells comprises at least one of said wind turbines and at least one of said solar panels; said main central controller and said electrical distribution center jointly having switching and control equipment therein for connecting and disconnecting each of said generating cells to and from the electrical power distribution center and for connecting and disconnecting each of said loads to and from said electrical power distribution center.
