Description

Field of the Invention

[0001] The present invention relates to the energy industry and electricity. More specifically, the present invention relates to a mobile autonomous photovoltaic and wind power plant suitable for a wide range of electrical equipment, which is based on an intermodal container that can be transported by sea, road, rail and air, and can be easily moved from one place to another an unlimited number of times. Background Art

[0002] According to public data from different years, the number of gasoline-diesel filling stations in the world's leading and largest countries is as follows: the United Kingdom has 8,422 in 2017, the United States has 114,474 in 2012, Canada has 12,684 in 2008, Japan has 40,357 in 2009, Germany has 14,300 in 2011, China has 95,000 in 2009, India has 60,799 in 2017, Argentina has 3,916 in 2014. The total number of gasoline-diesel filling stations in these countries is about 350,000. The number of such internal combustion engine filling stations worldwide is estimated at 450,000.

[0003] The global demand for small green power stations is expected to reach millions or even tens of millions. Under the pressure of the international community, all economic sectors are forced to gradually transform to cleaner and greener energy, which will continue to create and increase the demand for various electric transportation, machinery and its infrastructure.

[0004] Surveys of individual EU citizens and other Western developed countries show that the current transition to electric transportation is slow for the following reasons: electric car prices are still high and there is a clear lack of charging stations.

[0005] Electric vehicle manufacturers still cite the lack of charging stations as the main reason that hinders their development and prevents them from mass-producing their products. Obviously, making the charging of electric vehicles more convenient and reducing the distance between charging stations will restore the demand for electric vehicles, which in turn will bring down their prices. At the same time, the cost of these power infrastructure is the most basic part.

[0006] Therefore, what we need is a Mobile Autonomous Solar-Wind Electrical Station (hereinafter referred to as MASWES) as demonstrated by the present invention, which will achieve the following effects: ensure the generation of 100% clean energy to protect the environment; minimize the cost of energy from the sun and wind (only depreciation and use for services); use in remote areas and anywhere autonomy allows; achieve low-cost transportation (mobile) to move the charging station to where it is needed; it is cheaper to manufacture the power station under industrial conditions than to build it on a construction site; through remote control and maintenance, the operating costs can be reduced, and there can be more forms of use: energy consumption, leasing, sharing, property, resale, etc., and due to modular production, simple and low-cost sea, land and air transportation can be carried out.

[0007] For MASWES, it is possible to charge at least six electric vehicles at the same time, since MASWES is based on a 40-foot container and is equipped with three different international connectors, but not limited to: SAE CCS, Type 2, CHAdeMO, which means a fast charging process. Depending on the weather conditions of the day, the approximate number of electric vehicles with a battery capacity of 22 kWh that can be charged per day in Southern and Central Europe is at least 12-19.

[0008] Based on the universality of the invention, such a device can be distributed in the following forms: purchasing power plants for private use at the full order price; purchasing power plants under a lease or similar agreement; temporarily renting power plants through periodic payments; purchasing power plants in large quantities to establish private networks; and by manufacturers establishing their own large-scale power plant networks between a country and an alliance.

[0009] The low cost, high efficiency and reliability of mobile charging stations will make them the most installed charging stations in the world.

[0010] Current prior art devices have many drawbacks. Many such devices cannot be connected to the power grid in the absence of solar radiation and / or wind energy, even if there are grid facilities in that area.

[0011] Many existing technology devices are inadequate in structure and capacity to meet the needs of the current market. Most devices are insufficient in energy to charge more high-power electrical equipment and appliances, such as homes, electric cars, electric tractors, etc., due to insufficient mast size or lack of photovoltaic modules for power generation.

[0012] Other portable self-sufficient power stations include an internal combustion engine and a fuel tank, and are not based entirely on renewable resources. Others have two or more types of generators that are interconnected, where the first generator is different from the second generator, which makes it easier to obtain different types of power outputs, but these power stations still often promote the use of internal combustion engines and fuel tanks, resulting in them being just generators with additional wind or solar components added in order to appear more "green" to consumers.

[0013] Many prior art power generation devices advocate the use of small-sized photovoltaic or wind modules, which results in power generation devices with power generation capacity less than 5 kilowatts. In addition, those devices equipped with masts are usually equipped with expensive and complicated structures, such as crane arms, for deploying the masts, but such containers or entire structures are usually not sufficient to ensure safe fixing to the ground in strong wind conditions, which usually or may cause damage to the mast or the entire device and structure because they do not provide sufficient support for the use of high-power turbine wind power.

[0014] Many prior art devices advocate the use of a transportable, deployable, multifunctional system including a housing, solar panels, wind turbine(s), fuel cells, fuel converters, and other energy sources disposed or secured on, within, or near the housing. These devices also advocate the use of photovoltaic solar panel arrays secured to the housing for movement between a retracted stowed position and an extended use position. Prior art devices and the structures they employ and advocate are complex, expensive, and generally ineffective. Summary of the invention

[0015] The present invention relates to a container, a packaging element or a package designed for specific articles or materials; generating electricity by converting infrared radiation, visible light or ultraviolet light using a photovoltaic module; a wind turbine suitable for special purposes, a combination of a wind turbine and equipment driven by the wind turbine; and a wind turbine particularly suitable for installation at a specific location.

[0016] A mobile autonomous solar-wind power station (a power station) is based on a maximum of a 20-foot, 40-foot or 45-foot off-site container, which includes a reinforced grid and a shell (hull) consisting of three parts (levels): (1--bottom) ground blocks, reflective mats and removable screw pile foundation part; (2--middle part) waterproof electrical and other equipment part; (3--top part) high-power wind turbine and multi-foldable photovoltaic module array part.

[0017] The stability of the power station location is first achieved by driving the screw pile into the soil (natural or pre-prepared) by rotating the hydraulic power head or an electric motor with planetary gearbox (or worm gear motor) and retracting the screw pile before the next transport.

[0018] At least two single towers or telescopic masts (with blades and wind vanes folded or removed) of a high-power onshore wind power station, and rotating shaft assemblies (gondolas) are placed relatively in a stacked position along the container, which are lifted in turn by a hydraulic mechanism (or electric push rod) and fixed to the ground and the outer shell of the container with ropes so as to be unfolded when needed.

[0019] The accumulation and delivery of electricity is carried out through rechargeable batteries, which are also included in the installation and removal of the power station, complete with inverters.

[0020] To keep the temperature in the power station constant, a reversible (hot-to-cold) heat pump can be used, in which a refrigerant enters a channel deep into the earth pile, or air conditioning can be used instead of or in addition to the heat pump.

[0021] The necessary supply or handling of working fluids and materials can be achieved by drones through the roof openings of the service area.

[0022] The power station is equipped with control and communication modules; meteorological, temperature, fluctuation, safety and other sensors; equipped with lightning protection devices, fire alarms, fire extinguishers and video surveillance.

[0023] The station is equipped with at least one vandal-resistant charging point (a charging substation) for powering (but not limited to) homes, electric vehicles, tractors, bicycles, large scooters, children's scooters, balance cars or other and any DC / AC devices with standard connectors and / or socket sets, and the terminal accepts cashless payments as an option.

[0024] The device can be connected to the electricity supply network and, depending on the circumstances and regional facilities, can be connected to a grid-connected or off-grid power station. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0049] In the following detailed description of exemplary embodiments of the present invention, reference is made to the accompanying drawings (in which like numerals represent similar elements) forming a part of the present invention, in which specific exemplary embodiments in which the present invention may be implemented are shown by way of illustration. The description of these embodiments is detailed enough to enable those skilled in the art to implement the present invention, but other embodiments may be utilized and logical, mechanical, electrical and other changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the following detailed description should not be considered restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined solely by the appended claims.

[0050] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to provide a comprehensive understanding of the present invention. However, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented without these specific details. In other embodiments, structures and techniques well known to those of ordinary skill in the art are not shown in detail in order to make the present invention more clear. With reference to the accompanying drawings, various major elements that constitute the apparatus of the present invention can be seen.

[0051] like Figure 1As shown, the Mobile Autonomous Solar-Wind Energy Station - MASWES (1) is based on an easily installed 20-foot, 40-foot or 45-foot standard off-site container (ISO standard) at most, which is used to charge different power devices, but not limited to electric vehicles for various purposes (cars, scooters, bicycles, etc.), as well as households, farms, agriculture (such as electric tractors, drones, other unmanned aerial vehicles and land vehicles) and the military field.

[0052] Reference Figure 2 The mobile autonomous solar-wind power station (MASWES) has no outwardly protruding parts during the transport phase and consists of all the necessary equipment, but not limited to, for example a 40-foot unloaded container (2), a reinforced shell (18), a reinforced grid (19), stored reflective mats (21), removable screw piles (22) in cylindrical channels (38), wherein the container is provided with a hatch (55) for moving the screw piles, and for a 40-foot container, at least two high-power horizontal axis wind turbines (23) with a single tower (52) or a telescopic mast ), each providing at least 10 kW of power, for a 40-foot container each at least 14 meters high, with a total power of at least 20 kW, wherein the blades and wind vane are removed, the rotating shaft assembly is placed relatively horizontally along the container in a stacked position, stored photovoltaic double panels (24), a multi-folded photovoltaic module array (25) providing at least a total power of 30 kW, a charging point (28) stored inside, a rechargeable battery (31), a reinforced inner column (42) based on a hydraulic mechanism (54) (or an electric push rod), and an erection tool corresponding to a single tower (telescopic mast).

[0053] Figure 5 The user front side of the MASWES is shown, wherein reflective pads (21) are set on the bottom and around the MASWES, which, together with the photovoltaic double panels (24), allow the MASWES to receive significantly more energy from solar radiation than the prior art. The high-rise array is supported by several multi-section poles (49) (with / without leveling jacks between the array and the lowest container edge) for adjusting the array angle to at least 0-30 degrees. The MASWES is set on a ground block (20), which can protect the power station from rain and melting snow. There is at least one charging point (28) or charging substation on the user front side, which, in the working state, moves outward a few inches after passing through the sliding door (37) and is equipped with a conventional socket (connector), but not limited to SAE CCS, Class 2, CHAdeMO, etc.

[0054] according to Fig.11The power system (9) of the mobile autonomous solar-wind power station (MASWES) consists of, but is not limited to, a photovoltaic double panel power station (26), a high power wind power station (27), at least one charging point (28) or charging substation, a load breaker with fuse (29), a hybrid inverter (30), a rechargeable battery (31), an off-grid controller (32), a grid-connected controller (33), a heat pump (34) with a refrigerant (41), a regulator (35), a frequency converter (36) that meets the design requirements for internal equipment (such as air conditioning), one or more counters for tracking the amount of energy provided by the MASWES energy grid, which is a supplier to the energy grid, at least two high power wind turbines (23), and for a 40-foot off-site container, at least 120 square meters of photovoltaic double panels (24), which is more than four times the area of ​​the container.

[0055] The Mobile Autonomous Solar-Wind Energy Station (MASWES) is transported from the delivery site to the final installation area by a container truck with a tilt bed or side loader (truck and crane). Before final loading onto the container truck, the helical pile hatch door (55) needs to be slid open ( Fig.12 ), and then the MASWES is transported to the installation site with the screw pile hatch open. MASWES is mostly installed on hills with natural medium-hard soil (such as sand, clay or loam), or on a pre-prepared sand pad for the screw piles to be driven in. Nevertheless, due to the square shape of the container and the way it is transported, an absolutely level surface must be prepared for the customer. The user-side front of the MASWES needs to face directly north when in the northern hemisphere and south when in the southern hemisphere.

[0056] Before the MASWES is rolled out using a tilt bed truck, the ground blocks (20) must be laid on a level surface, further leveling of the MASWES is achieved by screwing in internal screw piles. In cases where it is difficult to prepare the soil to a level surface, the MASWES can be placed on at least six pre-screwed external solid piles or other types of foundations, in addition, the internal screw piles (22) help to press the MASWES into the ground and make the power station position more stable. To complete this unloading process, only one side loading truck (truck and crane) is used.

[0057] The fully recessed screw pile (22) is additionally used as a carrier for low-potential cooling and heating in a heat pump (34) system, heating or cooling the power station according to the season and current temperature conditions. A simpler solution is to use an air conditioner as a regulator (35), which automatically switches on when the temperature is too high or too low as required for the operating conditions of a single device or the entire power station.

[0058] like Figure 3As shown, the reflective mat (21) laid on the ground around the power station and some surfaces (6) of the container are covered with light reflective materials (7), which can still collect sunlight and guide it to the back of the photovoltaic double-panel at any time of the day and any season of the year. In addition, the reflective mat (21) can prevent different electric vehicles and tractors from damaging the ground during their driving to the station for charging. If necessary, the removed container roof is covered with light reflective material to supplement the reflective mat. The roof of the container is multi-segmented.

[0059] refer to Fig.14 The connection between the array and the housing is established in the form of a freely movable hinge, so that all photovoltaic double panels (24) can jointly maintain the overall horizontal plane for the array (25), and the overall horizontal plane of the array is achieved by simultaneously moving the multi-section rod (49) by automatic / non-automatic leveling jacks (50) and leveling actuators (51) according to the time of the year and solar radiation. The above method can regularly clean the snow and leaves that may fall on the surface of the photovoltaic double panels (24).

[0060] according to Fig.15A and Fig. 15B There are at least two types of array support: Fig.15A A variant in which a multi-section rod (49) with or without leveling jacks (50) for the lower level of the array is located between the array (25) and the bottommost edge of the container; Fig. 15B A variant in which a multi-section rod (49) with or without leveling jacks (50) for the lower layer of the array is located between the array (25) and the ground. The photovoltaic double panel (24) array of the machine (power) part of the roof is corrected by an actuator (51), so that the arrays of the lower layer, the roof layer and the upper layer together form the horizontal plane of the entire photovoltaic double panel, and the horizontal plane can be adjusted simultaneously according to the solar radiation.

[0061] The photovoltaic double panel support structure is disassembled by a hinge mechanism with an extreme position to prevent it from extending further outward, thereby creating a horizontal surface for installing the panels. Through these hinges, the supports are stacked on top of the container to form an initial position, so that there is no need to disassemble them. In the unfolded state, the photovoltaic double panel (24) support structure rests on the ground or is attached to the container to provide rigidity and stability.

[0062] like Fig. 20A , 20B, 20C, 20D and Fig.20E As shown in the figure, from the storage state to the working state, the photovoltaic module array is simultaneously unfolded to the four sides of the container, similar to the layout design of an envelope and a book. Fig.20E, additional PV arrays are laid out on the machine (power) portion of the roof where the wind turbine towers (masts) were originally located to form a full horizontal plane (39). With this particular approach, the total area of ​​the solar module racks is at least four times the area of ​​the container. This allows us to use at least 120 square meters of bifacial panels on a 40-foot, ISO-standard container without losing the enclosure and the physical connection between the array and the panels.

[0063] like Fig.13 As shown, in the retracted position, the blades and wind vane of the wind turbine (23) with the rotating shaft assembly are removed and placed horizontally relative to each other on the upper part (5) of the container (2). After opening the shutters of the photovoltaic double panel array, these devices are raised in sequence to the minimum angle required to deploy the blades and wind vane, so that the rotating shaft assembly and the blades enter the working position. In addition, the hydraulic mechanism (or electric actuator) is installed vertically and extends the telescopic part of the monolithic tower (52) or each mast to the working position, and each mast is fixed to the land and the container with ropes, so that the access to the side of the power station (charging point, socket group) is unobstructed. The wind turbines are operated in sequence in test mode to check the oscillation.

[0064] according to Fig.17A and Fig. 17B The monolithic tower (52) or telescopic mast of a high-power wind turbine is erected by a hydraulic mechanism (54) (or electric actuator) of the wind turbine. After the monolithic tower or telescopic mast is vertically installed, they are fixed to the reinforced inner column (42) by a multi-bolt connection to form a rigid system structure between the ground, the screw piles (22), the reinforced grid (19), the inner column (42) and the monolithic tower (52) or telescopic mast supported by the reinforced shell (18) to prevent any shaking. In order to prevent water, snow and dust from entering the power (machine) part of the container, a special housing with drainage function is used for the hydraulic mechanism (54) of the wind turbine (or electric actuator) between the top floor and the ceiling of the power (machine) part.

[0065] Reference Fig.19A and Fig.19B A mobile autonomous solar-wind power station (MASWES) can be constructed from the base of one or other type of wind turbine. Fig.19A ) wind turbine is arranged on a single tower (52) and operates, and the second type ( Fig.19B ) works on a telescopic mast (53) with a rope system (8) for securing the wind turbine mast to the housing and the ground. For a 40-foot ISO standard container, such as Fig.19A As shown, the first variant comprises a single tower of at least 14 meters, and the second variant ( Fig.19B ) consists of a telescopic mast of at least 24 meters. Other main and auxiliary equipment of the power station with different types of wind turbine foundations also include, but are not limited to, the entire mobile autonomous solar-wind power station itself (1), photovoltaic bi-panels (24) with supporting multi-section masts (49), at least one charging point (28) or charging substation.

[0066] The initial charging at the factory should be sufficient to supply all the installation and commissioning work of MASWES. After the wind turbine tests are completed, the photovoltaic bipanel windows are fixed. The panels are unfolded. The onshore wind power plant and the photovoltaic bipanel power plant are connected to the batteries, other electrical equipment is started, the communication network and all systems are tested, and all parameters are measured. The safety system is activated.

[0067] MASWES should be connected to the centralized power supply network as needed and technically feasible. Make the necessary preparations in advance and coordinate with energy suppliers. In the case of insufficient self-produced power in the station, power is provided by the central network. In the case of excess power, when the battery capacity of the power station cannot be charged further and no consumers are charging, MASWES supplies power back to the central network at a "green" electricity price.

[0068] In the normal operation of all systems, the sliding door is opened from the user side of the container, the connector block and the payment terminal as charging point (socket group) are pushed forward to the outside and fixed to the shell, which is then tested. On the ground, a curb is laid about 1 meter away from the container to prevent the electric vehicle from colliding with the power station. MASWES is ready for work for the consumer. The maximum installation time of MASWES is one day if a two-person electrician team plus a truck driver (maximum three people in total) is provided for installation.

[0069] according to Figure 4 The standard off-site container, which is a basic component of a mobile autonomous solar-wind power station (MASWES), is structurally divided into three parts (levels): a base part consisting of ground blocks, reflective mats and removable screw piles (3); a waterproof electrical and other equipment part (4); a high-power wind turbine and a multi-folding photovoltaic module array part (5). In the retracted position, the multi-folding photovoltaic module array (25) is folded above the high-power wind turbine (23) and below the protective container roof. The reversible screw piles (22) firmly press the shell to the ground, but the container is prevented from being in the lowest position (collision with the ground) by the ground blocks (20).

[0070] from Figure 6It can be seen that the mobile autonomous solar-wind power station (MASWES) includes the following auxiliary equipment, but not limited to, station control and service center communication module (10), antenna (11), computer (12), weather, temperature, fluctuation, security and other sensors (13), fire alarm (14), fire extinguisher (15), video surveillance (17) and lightning protection device (16), in which screw piles are used as ground rods. All electronic equipment of MASWES can be remotely monitored and managed through a secure communication channel.

[0071] like Figure 7 As shown, the sturdy metal structural shell is composed of a reinforced shell (18), a reinforced grid (19) and at least two reinforced inner columns (42), the two inner columns are located at the diagonals (approximately diagonal) between the container grid and the middle layer of the reinforced shell (18), and they together constitute an entire sturdy rigid system: ground - screw piles - reinforced grid - reinforced shell - inner columns - tower (or mast) of the wind turbine.

[0072] Figure 8 The scheme of reinforcing grid (19) is shown. For a 40-foot container, a high-strength metal structure is provided by at least two longitudinally laid beams and a plurality of transversely laid beams. In addition, at least two places are prepared for installing inner columns and a plurality of screw pile holes (46) are arranged in a manner that passes through the horizontal plane of the container so that they can evenly bear the static load. Figure 7 As shown, the reinforcement shell (18) as the container support is a solid welded structure consisting of metal channels of required size to ensure rigidity. All these beams are arranged in a way to give the container additional rigidity and stability.

[0073] Fig. 9 A connection scheme between a screw pile (22) and a reinforcement grid (19) is shown. The first is a vertical movement of the screw pile (22), which is guided by a guide sleeve to be screwed through a dedicated hole (46) on the reinforcement grid (19) of the container, and a dedicated guide structure - a dedicated cylindrical channel (38) for the screw pile. The screwing is carried out by a rotating hydraulic power head or an electric motor (or worm gear motor) with a planetary gearbox. After they are completely screwed in and fixed to the reinforcement grid (19) by a multi-bolt connection, they form an integral structure together with the reinforcement shell (18), the reinforcement inner column and the tower (mast) of the wind turbine, which provides the rigidity and stability of the MASWES.

[0074] like Fig.10As shown, the bottom of the inner column (42) is fixed to the reinforcement grid (19) by multiple bolts, and the top of the inner column forms a whole welded structure with the middle part of the reinforcement shell (18). The outer shell composed of the inner column, the reinforcement grid and the reinforcement shell is firmly fastened to the ground by screw piles (22) moving in special cylindrical channels (38) and holes (46).

[0075] Reference Fig.12 The screw piles (22) shuttle in a dedicated cylindrical channel (38) (a dedicated guide structure with a freely movable guide sleeve) and move from the interior space of the container into the soil (natural or pre-prepared). Likewise, they are retrieved by a rotating hydraulic power head (40) or an electric motor with a planetary gearbox (or worm gear motor). Perforated safety rubber mats (shadows) (45) are set on the floor of the container and cover all the screw pile holes (46) from the inside of the floor to prevent snow, water and dust from entering the interior. From the outside, the screw pile holes (46) are locked by a horizontally sliding hatch (55).

[0076] The floor of the container's high-power wind turbine and multi-folded photovoltaic array section (5) (such as Fig.13 The reinforced shell (18) is composed of a perforated steel plate (or other metal) which is laid in the middle part (reference Fig.10 ). The waterproofing of the electrical and other equipment parts (4) is achieved by a whole panel of flexible polycarbonate or similar material, and is arranged at multiple angles for drainage, allowing water and melted snow to flow out of the container.

[0077] Fig.16 The former is supported by including the following components in the figure: movable screw piles (22), ground blocks (20), reinforced grids (19), reinforced shells (18), reinforced inner columns (42), multi-section poles (49) with automatic or non-automatic leveling jacks (50), photovoltaic double panels (24), a single tower (52) with a hydraulic mechanism (54) (or an electric actuator) for erection, and a high-power wind turbine (23).

[0078] Fig.18 Different special openings of the container are shown, such as the roof opening (43) of the service area, which can be used for supplying or handling working fluids, for drones (44) and other unmanned aerial vehicles to charge MASWES, the hatch for grid connection (47), and the safety ventilation holes (48) in the container wall.

[0079] Whatever the weather conditions, MASWES's software must ensure that each battery is charged evenly, whether it is charged from both sources (sun, wind) at the same time or switched from one source to another. When all batteries reach maximum capacity, the transmission of electricity begins to shift directly to the charging point, or in the absence of consumers charging, if MASWES is not connected to the grid, the operation of the wind installation and the photovoltaic bi-panel is temporarily interrupted. When the wind exceeds the standard, the operation of the onshore wind power station is also suspended.

[0080] The MASWES(1) software consists of two subsystems:

[0081] -GCMS (Generation and Charging Management Software).

[0082] -SPOOM (software that predicts the best operating mode).

[0083] To improve reliability, each software subsystem runs as a separate server and the data exchange between them is managed.

[0084] The GCMS provides monitoring of the charge state of the rechargeable batteries and their power sources (photovoltaic bipanel panels on the photovoltaic bipanel power plant (26) and high-power wind power plant (27)). In addition, it monitors the internal resistance of the circuit and the presence or absence of load on the various connectors. The GCMS records a log of the status and operating mode. The collected data is transmitted to SPOOM via an internal communication protocol at the request of SPOOM. The data are personalized (signed by a unique device identifier assigned by the manufacturer). The data and logs are not deleted after transmission, but are stored on an internal disk for use by engineering and service personnel. The data are rotated in the RAM of the power plant (1).

[0085] SPOOM is activated when there is a secure Internet connection. Internet connection is provided according to local, regional or global standards. The geo-location location of the deployed power station (1) is determined. Based on the geographical location, SPOOM collects and analyzes the forecast data of the nearest future weather conditions (wind direction and its intensity, cloudiness, ambient temperature, humidity, etc.). The software operates in two modes: stand-alone and workgroup.

[0086] Stand-alone - In this mode the power plant (1) is used completely alone. This mode is intended for private use by an individual. In this case, SPOOM regularly sends data obtained from the GCMS and a log of mode changes to the computer cluster center. At the same time, information about the operation and usage patterns of the power plant (1) is collected. This information is required by the manufacturer for quality service and support of the power plant.

[0087] Workgroup - In this mode the power plant is used in a workgroup consisting of several power plants. In this case, as in the stand-alone mode, SPOOM also sends the data obtained from the GCMS and the log of mode changes to the computer cluster center at regular intervals. Data on vehicle flow and other electrical consumer flows are also collected from public maps and other public sources. The regular data obtained from the GCMS are collected and compiled together with weather data and traffic values ​​for the period and the nearest future weather forecast. The resulting data are copied and uploaded on request to the computer cluster center. The data are also personalized with a unique device ID. After successfully receiving the data, the computer cluster center returns an identification and sends suggestions on the current best operating mode and on the effective operation of the power plant in the near future (1).

[0088] The computer cluster center is responsible for calculating the optimal geographical location of several power plants in a region or in a district. Based on the collected statistical data, the computer cluster center predicts the optimal operating mode and location of the power plants. The software of the computer cluster center contains an artificial intelligence system based on a multi-layer neural network, which is trained on a series of simulated scenarios and then additionally learns on real data. The input data include the geographical location of the power station, location data, relief supplies, weather and regular data on consumer traffic, electricity production in kilowatt-hours (this is common to the storage capacity of each power station (1)), the resistance of the circuit and the level of input current.

[0089] In workgroup mode, when an appliance to be charged is connected or disconnected at any connector (such as a socket) of a charging substation, activity data and the current state of the connector (such as a socket) are sent to the computer cluster center. This data is transmitted in real time. Based on this data, the computer cluster center has a complete and true description of the occupancy of the connectors (such as sockets) of all power stations (1) in the cluster. The API (application programming interface) of the computer cluster center makes it possible to detect at any time whether the connector (such as a socket) of a charging substation is in an available state, as well as to detect the remaining energy output (kWh) of each power station (1) in the cluster at any time. This function enables us to organize a search for the nearest available power station (1) that has a free connector (such as a socket) of the required type and a reserve of produced electricity. It helps to use this information in a website or mobile software application.

[0090] Another mandatory function of the SPOOM service is to update the software of the power plant (1) from the central computer cluster (saving old software versions and installing new versions for both GCMS and SPOOM).

[0091] Mobile Autonomous Solar-Wind Energy Stations (MASWES) are built entirely on renewable resources and may be connected to the grid in areas where there is a shortage of solar radiation and / or wind energy.

[0092] As shown in the figure above, MASWES consists of only a standard shipping container, which serves as a fully transportable power station base without any protruding parts that would complicate the task of shipping by shipping, road, rail or air.

[0093] The mechanism and method of storing, folding and installing the photovoltaic modules and their arrays appear to be sufficiently simple, cheap, require no additional energy, and can be installed in a maximum of one day by a crew of two in other installation procedures. The annual output of the photovoltaic double-panel power station is estimated to be at least 44,000 kWh.

[0094] The invention describes in detail the method of storing, folding and installing a wind turbine and its tower (mast), rotating shaft assembly, blades, and wind vanes, and if you want to use a 40-foot container as the base of a power station, you can use at least two high-power horizontal axis wind turbines with a minimum power of 10 kilowatts. All installation procedures are carried out by two crews using crew equipment and pre-accumulated electricity. The annual output of the onshore wind power station is about 80,000 kWh.

[0095] The entire MASWES will provide at least 124,000 kWh of electricity per year.

[0096] The means for stabilizing the Mobile Autonomous Solar-Wind Energy Station (MASWES), i.e. two high-power wind turbines, on the ground have been fully described and include: a reversible foundation part - removable screw piles, a reinforced shell, a reinforced grid, a reinforced inner column, a rope system for fixing the wind turbine mast and others.

[0097] All conditions are prepared for the charging of different electrical consumers, such as electric cars, scooters, bicycles, etc., as well as for households, farms, agriculture (such as electric tractors, drones, other unmanned aerial vehicles and land vehicles) and mining companies or for military use.

[0098] The present invention focuses on only one great task - to provide electricity to a wide range of remote electrical appliances through renewable resources in a most economical and absolutely sustainable manner, whether there is a power grid or not, which is very useful in the current poor ecological environment around the world. The power station does not have internal combustion engines and fuel tanks, gas / diesel generators, water filtration systems, water distribution systems and other equipment.

[0099] Therefore, it can be understood that the optimal dimensional relationships of the components of the present invention, including changes in size, material, shape, function, operation, assembly and use methods, are considered clear and obvious to ordinary technicians in the field, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described above are intended to be covered by the present invention.

[0100] In addition, it is expected that other technical fields may benefit from this method and make adjustments to the design. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the appended claims and their legal equivalents, rather than by the given embodiments.
