Problems solved by technology

[0016] However, autonomous power generation units known so far are relatively complex and require regular maintenance
[0017] Battery systems degrade in cold environments and require maintenance (charging, replacement...)
Solar panels must be heated to avoid being covered in snow and thus becoming inoperable

Abstract

The present invention relates to an artificial snow-making facility (1), comprising a snow-making device (2), a fluidic water pipe (3) for supplying water to the snow-making device (2), potentially, a fluidic air pipe (4) for supplying air to the snow-making device (2), control means (5) for managing the operation of the snow-making device (2), a power supply for supplying electricity to the control means (5). According to the invention, the power supply comprises a power generator (6) arranged on one of the fluidic pipes (4), and the power generator (6) comprises a turbine (61) adapted to be driven by the fluid of the fluidic pipe (4).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to the manufacture of artificial snow (also known as culture snow). [0002] In particular, the invention relates to a snowmaking installation comprising snowmaking equipment, jet water pipes for supplying water to said snowmaking equipment, possibly including Jet air ducts, control means for managing the operation of said snowmaking equipment, and an energy supply source for supplying electrical power to said control means. Background technique [0003] Ski slopes are specially designed to receive natural snow, for example for the practice of alpine skiing or cross-country skiing. [0004] Generally, it is known to manufacture artificial snow for use on ski slopes in order to compensate for the lack of natural snow. [0005] It is then known to install snowmaking equipment (also called "snow production equipment" or "snow gun") on at least a part of the side of the ski slope, which is supplied by pressurized w...
