Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of clean energy power generation technology, specifically to a multi-energy collaborative power generation platform integrating wind energy, solar energy, rainwater potential energy, and wave energy. Background Technology
[0002] In the development of clean energy at sea, wind power, as a mature technology, has achieved large-scale application. Offshore wind turbines improve wind energy capture efficiency by optimizing the aerodynamic shape of the blades. However, these traditional wind turbines focus only on the single energy utilization of wind, leaving the outer surface and internal space of the tower idle for a long time without considering the synergistic development with other energy forms, resulting in a waste of space resources. At the same time, the application of solar photovoltaic power generation technology in nearshore areas is becoming increasingly widespread. Current solar photovoltaic power generation involves installing photovoltaic panels on offshore platforms to utilize solar energy. However, independent photovoltaic platforms require additional support structures, leading to increased infrastructure costs. Furthermore, the lack of integration with wind power systems prevents them from leveraging the complementary advantages of energy.
[0003] While existing multi-energy combined power generation technologies have been explored to some extent, such as wind-wave energy combined platforms that achieve dual-energy synergy through shared infrastructure, significant limitations remain: the utilization of solar and rainwater potential energy is not incorporated, and the potential energy contained in marine solar resources and precipitation processes remains untapped, resulting in low overall energy utilization efficiency; distributed independent energy systems suffer from fundamental defects—the intermittent superposition of wind, solar, and wave energy leads to a continuous deterioration in power supply stability, while independent deployment models significantly increase initial investment and operation and maintenance costs due to redundant infrastructure construction; especially in operating environments far from the coast, traditional technologies are limited by platform space constraints and cannot simultaneously integrate wind energy capture, photovoltaic power generation, rainwater potential energy conversion, and wave energy hydraulic systems, ultimately resulting in low resource utilization and high electricity costs. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a multi-energy collaborative power generation platform that integrates wind energy, solar energy, rainwater potential energy, and wave energy. It aims to solve problems such as the waste of space resources caused by traditional wind turbines that only utilize wind energy, the high cost of independent energy systems due to repeated construction, and the lack of a collaborative control mechanism for existing multi-energy combined power generation technologies that do not cover solar energy and rainwater potential energy.

[0009] Furthermore, the multi-stage potential energy power generation device includes multiple stages of power generation units. Each stage of the power generation unit includes an inlet pipe, an outlet pipe, a second generator, impeller blades, and an impeller cavity. The input end of the second generator extends into the impeller cavity and is fitted with impeller blades.

The lower end of the inlet pipe is connected to the impeller cavity, and the bottom of the impeller cavity is connected to the outlet pipe of the next stage power generation unit.
[0010] Furthermore, the wind power generation assembly includes wind turbine blades, a transmission mechanism, and a first generator; the wind turbine blades are disposed outside the nacelle; the transmission mechanism and the first generator are disposed inside the nacelle; the wind turbine blades are connected to the first generator through the transmission mechanism.
[0011] Furthermore, a wave energy power generation component is provided at the bottom of the tower; the wave energy power generation component includes a wave energy power generation system, a buoy, a float, a column-stabilized semi-submersible platform and a connecting arm, and a column-stabilized semi-submersible platform is provided on the tower; the buoy is located on the semi-submersible platform, and the float is hinged to the side of the buoy through a connecting rod, and the float swings up and down through the action of waves; the float is connected to the wave energy power generation system (5) through the connecting arm, and the up and down swing of the float is converted into electrical energy.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0013] 1. The multi-energy collaborative power generation platform integrating wind energy, solar energy, rainwater potential energy, and wave energy described in this invention achieves multi-dimensional spatiotemporal energy complementarity by integrating four types of energy: wind energy, solar energy, rainwater potential energy, and wave energy, significantly improving the continuity of system power supply.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the multi-energy collaborative power generation platform integrating wind energy, solar energy, rainwater potential energy, and wave energy of the present invention is characterized by including: a wind turbine generator set, a solar photovoltaic power generation module, a multi-stage potential energy power generation module, a wave energy power generation module, an energy storage system, a tower 3, and a nacelle 1.
[0029] The tower 3 is a tubular tower, which is fixed to the seabed or floats on the sea surface; the top of the tower 3 is equipped with a nacelle 1, which is used to connect wind power generation components, solar photovoltaic power generation components, and multi-stage potential energy power generation components; the solar photovoltaic power generation components are located outside the tower 3; the wind power generation components are located at the upper end of the tower 3.
[0030] The multi-stage potential energy power generation component includes a rainwater collection device and a multi-stage potential energy power generation device. The multi-stage potential energy power generation device is built into the tower. The upper end of the multi-stage potential energy power generation device is connected to the rainwater collection device to collect the gravitational potential energy of rainwater for power generation.
[0031] The energy storage system is located inside tower 3 and is used to store the electrical energy generated by solar photovoltaic power generation modules, wind power generation modules, multi-stage potential energy power generation modules, and wave energy power generation modules, respectively.
[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the multi-stage potential energy power generation component includes a rainwater collection device and a multi-stage potential energy power generation device. The multi-stage potential energy power generation device is arranged along the height direction of the tower 3. The inlet end of the multi-stage potential energy power generation device is connected to the outlet end of the rainwater collection device, and is used to convert the gravitational potential energy of rainwater into electrical energy.
[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, the rainwater collection device includes a rainwater collection plate 11, a water storage tank 16, and a water delivery pipe 17. The rainwater collection plate 11 is installed at an angle on the top of the engine compartment 1 to collect rainwater. The lower end of the rainwater collection plate 11 is connected to the inlet of the water storage tank 16 via a guide pipe 19. The outlet of the water storage tank 16 is connected to the input end of the water delivery pipe 17. The output end of the water delivery pipe 17 is connected to a multi-stage potential energy power generation device. During rainfall, rainwater is guided into the water storage tank 16 by the rainwater collection plate 11. When the liquid level reaches a preset height, the water is transported to the multi-stage potential energy power generation device via the water delivery pipe 17 to generate potential energy.
[0034] The rainwater harvesting device also includes a power distribution drive system 15 and an environmental monitoring unit.

The maximum extension range of the rainwater collection plate 11 is set according to the structural parameters of the wind turbine. The rainwater collection plate 11 is a two-piece type, which is folded or unfolded by an actuator. The power distribution drive system 15 controls the actuator according to the data monitored by the environmental monitoring unit to change the folding area of the rainwater collection plate 11. The actuator is an electric push rod and a linkage assembly. The structure consists of an electric push rod fixed to the top of the nacelle, with its telescopic end connected to the folding point of the rain collection plate 11 via a hinge. One end of the connecting rod is hinged to the bottom of the rain collection plate 11, and the other end is connected to a fixed support point on the side of the nacelle, forming a triangular stable support. In non-rainfall conditions or when the wind speed exceeds a set threshold, the power distribution control system 15 controls the actuator, and the push rod of the actuator retracts, pulling the rain collection plate 11 to fold and retract to the top surface of the nacelle 1. In rainfall conditions, the power distribution control system 15 controls the actuator, and the push rod of the actuator extends, pushing the rain collection plate 11 to extend and expand through the connecting rod to increase the rain collection area.

The lower end of the inlet pipe 20 is connected to the impeller cavity 24. The bottom of the impeller cavity 24 is connected to the outlet pipe 21 of the next stage power generation unit. The outlet pipe 21 of the lowest stage power generation unit of the multi-stage potential energy power generation device is connected to a one-way drain valve 28 through four branch pipes 26. A one-way drain valve 28 is installed at the outlet of each branch pipe. The one-way drain valve 28 adopts a wedge-shaped sealing structure, which only allows water to flow unidirectionally to the marine environment, effectively preventing seawater backflow. The four branch pipes 26 are symmetrically arranged circumferentially along the central buoy of the semi-submersible platform.

A flexible solar thin film is disposed on the outside of the wind turbine tower 3, and the specific placement range can be above the sea level to prevent circuit failure due to seawater erosion. Specifically, the two power generation modules can be connected to share a set of circuits.

[0039] Working principle: Solar photovoltaic power generation units 27 are installed on the outer surface of the wind turbine blades 2 and the outer surface of the tower 3 to collect solar energy and generate electricity under sunlight conditions; a rainwater collection system is installed on the top of the nacelle 1 to convert wind energy into electricity through the blades 2 during wind turbine operation; under precipitation conditions, rainwater potential energy is converted into electricity through a multi-stage potential energy power generation device in the tower 3; under sea surface conditions, waves drive the float 10 to generate heaving motion, which drives the connecting arm 9 to pivot around its fixed hinge point with the float 4; at the same time, relative motion is generated between the float 10 and the swinging connecting arm 9, which drives the generator to rotate and generate electricity. Its circuit system can be connected to the power distribution system 15 in the nacelle 1. Specifically, the start-stop status and maintenance status of the float 10 in the wave energy system can be analyzed by the overall hydrodynamics using three-dimensional software, the working wave height range can be set and the extreme sea conditions can be analyzed to ensure the safe operation of the wave energy device;
