Power generation by solar/pneumatic cogeneration in a large, natural or man-made, open pit |
摘要 |
This patent describes a method for power generation combining a solar concentrator and a pneumatic power tube system. Solar energy is concentrated to solar thermal receivers by a plurality of heliostat mirrors placed along the embankment of an open pit mine. The air in the pneumatic tubes is heated by direct and/or waste heat energy recovered from a solar power system and/or from a variety of sources. The invention is novel in its integration of a solar powered heat engine and a modular design, pneumatic power tube wherein a means of structural support for the tube(s) can be provided by the geophysical surroundings. The novel design features of the power tube pit include: its use of state-of-the art wind turbine power recovery, solar reflective surfaces for solar energy collection, heat pipe arrays for ground source heat recovery and air diffuser subsystems for enhanced wind turbine efficiency.
