Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a microalgae cultivation system utilizing photovoltaic green electricity, belonging to the technical field of microalgae cultivation. Background Art

[0002] Microalgae convert solar energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis and store it in cells to form biomass, which can be used as food, nutritional supplements, aquatic bait, etc., and can be further processed into biofuel. However, the current light energy conversion rate of microalgae photosynthesis is about 1%, which is far lower than the theoretical conversion rate of 12%. In order to improve the light energy utilization rate of microalgae, the cultivation depth of microalgae is usually reduced. Currently, commercialized microalgae cultivation facilities include horizontal pipe reactors and open runway pools. Among them, closed pipe reactors have become the main form of high-value-added microalgae cultivation due to their advantages such as less water evaporation, short light path, less biological pollution, and high CO2 absorption rate.

[0003] Photovoltaics, as one of the main forms of new energy, is an industry that countries around the world are vigorously developing. At present, the maximum efficiency of large-scale monocrystalline silicon photovoltaic cells is 26.6%, which is much higher than other forms of light energy utilization. Photovoltaic settings can be determined according to the terrain and do not occupy arable land. Usually, photovoltaic panels are arranged in an east-west tilted manner and at a certain distance from the ground. According to the law of sunlight at the installation site, the gap between each row of photovoltaic panels is set so that the front and rear rows of photovoltaic panels do not block each other, and space is also reserved for cleaning and maintenance.

[0004] The time for microalgae to grow under natural light is less than 12 hours / day. Assuming that green electricity generated by photovoltaics is used for cell reproduction, it can be combined with energy storage to achieve all-weather cultivation. Among them, in the prior art, the patent with publication number CN115044475A discloses a method for cultivating microalgae in combination with photovoltaic panels, in which a photobioreactor for microalgae cultivation is set in the gap between each row of photovoltaic panels, and by raising the distance between the photovoltaic panels and the ground, the photovoltaic panels can achieve a 20-80% shading ratio for the microalgae cultivation pool. This design increases the height of the supporting material of the photovoltaic panel, thereby weakening the wind resistance of the photovoltaic panel. At the same time, in order to reduce shading, the spacing between each row of photovoltaic panels is increased, the number of photovoltaic panels arranged under the same floor area is reduced, and the green electricity production is reduced. In addition, the patent with publication number CN219507903U discloses a system for setting photovoltaic panels in a microalgae greenhouse to drive the circulation of algae liquid. This design increases the height of the greenhouse to increase power generation, changes the structure of the original photobioreactor, and is difficult to actually build. Utility Model Content

[0044] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 A microalgae cultivation system using photovoltaic green electricity includes a photovoltaic device and a cultivation device. The photovoltaic device includes a photovoltaic panel 100, which is arranged obliquely relative to the ground.

The illumination mechanism 400 is at least used to provide light to the cultivation space. The photovoltaic panel 100 is connected to the illumination mechanism 400 to provide energy to the illumination mechanism 400.

[0045] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 , 2As shown, the photovoltaic panel 100 is a rectangular plate structure, and the photovoltaic panel 100 can absorb sunlight to generate electricity.

A cultivation space is provided in the cultivation reaction mechanism, and the cultivation space can contain microalgae culture solution for cultivating microalgae, and the illumination mechanism 400 can provide light to the cultivation space. When in use, the cultivation reaction mechanism and the illumination mechanism 400 are installed on the lower side of the photovoltaic panel 100, and when the photovoltaic panel 100 is tilted toward the direction of sunlight to absorb sunlight, the sunlight directly irradiates the photovoltaic panel 100 and generates a shadow area of ​​the photovoltaic panel 100 on the lower side of the photovoltaic panel 100. The cultivation reaction mechanism and the illumination mechanism 400 are arranged in the shadow area so that the cultivation reaction mechanism is shielded by the photovoltaic panel 100 as much as possible to reduce the influence of natural light on it, and the illumination mechanism 400 is used to provide light for the microalgae in the cultivation space, thereby extending the growth time of the microalgae, and the energy supply of the illumination mechanism 400 is realized by the green electricity of the light panel, thereby improving energy utilization and further reducing carbon emissions.

[0046] In the above structure, by setting the cultivation reaction mechanism and the illumination mechanism 400 on the lower side of the photovoltaic panel 100, the cultivation space can be completely covered by the photovoltaic panel 100.

The inclination angle of the bracket assembly 300 can be recorded as β, so as to ensure that the cultivation pipe assembly 200 is completely blocked by the photovoltaic panel 100. The placement area of ​​the cultivation pipe assembly 200 is increased to increase the volume of the cultivation space. In addition, in another embodiment, the photovoltaic panel 100 can be set as a multi-row mechanism. Therefore, in order to prevent the installed cultivation pipe assembly 200 and the bracket assembly 300 from producing a shading effect on the photovoltaic panel 100 in the rear row, the inclination angle β on one side of the bracket assembly 300 is greater than the inclination angle α of the photovoltaic panel 100. At the same time, the distance between the highest end of the bracket assembly 300 and the horizontal ground in the vertical direction can be recorded as h, and the distance between the highest end of the photovoltaic panel 100 and the horizontal ground in the vertical direction can be recorded as b.

A plurality of support frames 310 are arranged in combination to form a stepped structure, thereby facilitating installation and disassembly of the bracket assembly 300 . Meanwhile, the shape of the bracket assembly 300 can be changed as needed to improve the applicability of the bracket assembly 300 .

In addition, the outer diameter of the cultivation pipe is 6-12 cm.

[0054] In addition, the cultivation device also includes a circulating carbon replenishment mechanism, which includes a circulating carbon replenishment barrel 510 and a power pump 520. The circulating carbon replenishment barrel 510 is connected to the cultivation pipeline assembly 200, and the power pump 520 is connected to the circulating carbon replenishment barrel 510 to drive the microalgae culture solution to circulate between the cultivation space and the circulating carbon replenishment barrel 510. The photovoltaic panel 100 is connected to the power pump 520 to supply energy to the power pump 520. The microalgae culture solution circulates between the cultivation space and the circulating carbon replenishment barrel 510 at a speed of 20-50 cm / s.

[0055] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 , 5 As shown, since microalgae are photosynthetic autotrophic microorganisms, photosynthesis is carried out during the reproduction process, and CO2 is the substrate of photosynthesis, a circulating carbon replenishment mechanism is set to provide CO2 for the entire system.

In addition, the number of LED light sources must meet the requirement that the length covered by the LED light source is 20-80% of the total length of the cultivation pipeline.

In addition, the distance between the lowest end of the photovoltaic panel 100 and the horizontal ground is 30-50cm, which is convenient for the installation of the photovoltaic panel on the one hand, and can also prevent ground dust from falling on the photovoltaic panel on the other hand.

The inclination angle β between the support frame 310 and the ground is 45°; the maximum height h of the support assembly 300 is 2.5m, the width is 2.5m, and the length e is 30m; wherein, the horizontal and vertical beams 311 of the support frame 310 are 0.5m away from h1 and e1; the cultivation pipeline is made of glass with a diameter of 6cm. The total length installed on the support frame 310 is 620m, and the cultivation volume is 1.75 tons; the total volume of the circulating carbon replenishment barrel 510 is 0.5 tons, and the effective volume is 0.25 tons, so the total cultivation volume of each group of reactors is 2 tons.

[0067] Among them, multiple LED light sources are arranged above each cultivation tube, with a distance of 10 cm, the proportion of light coverage of the total length is 20%, and the light intensity is 100 μmol / m 2 / s; the carbon replenishment process supplements CO2 according to the feedback of the pH value of the culture solution. Under the action of the power pump 520, the flow rate of the microalgae culture solution in the cultivation pipeline is 30cm / s; the LED light source and the power pump 520 are both powered by photovoltaic green electricity.

[0068] Chlorella was inoculated in the cultivation pipeline with an inoculation density of 0.2 g / L and a total culture volume of 2 tons. The most suitable pH range for cultivation was set to 7.5, that is, when the pH value was higher than 7.5, the circulating carbon supplement barrel 510 started to supplement CO2, and when it was lower than 7.5, the supplement of CO2 was stopped. The continuous circulation culture was carried out for 10 days, and evaporated water was supplemented every day. At the end of the culture, the cell density of Chlorella was 1.6 g / L; the average growth rate was calculated to be 0.14 g / L / d.

[0069] Comparative Example 1

[0070] The same size of cultivation pipes, arranged in an open-air environment, use natural light for cell growth, and the average growth rate after the same cultivation time is only 0.10 g / L / d. This result shows that the green electricity generated by the photovoltaic panel 100 provides a 24-hour uninterrupted light source for the growth of microalgae, which improves the growth efficiency of microalgae to a certain extent.

[0071] Example 2

[0072] The size of the cultivation pipeline and the arrangement of the photovoltaic panels 100 are the same as those in Example 1, except that the proportion of the total length covered by the LED light source is 80%, and the light intensity is 300 μmol / m 2 / s; inoculate Chlorella in the cultivation pipeline, the inoculation density is 0.2g / L, the total culture volume is 2 tons, and the most suitable pH range for cultivation is set to 7.5, that is, when the pH value is higher than 7.5, the circulating carbon replenishment barrel 510 starts to replenish CO2, and when it is lower than 7.5, the replenishment of CO2 is stopped. The continuous circulation culture is carried out for 10 days, and the evaporated water is replenished every day. At the end of the culture, the cell density of Chlorella is 3.0g / L; the average growth rate is calculated to be 0.28g / m 2 / d.

[0073] Comparative Example 2

[0074] The same size of culture tubes, placed in an open-air environment, using natural light for cell growth, the average growth rate after the same culture time was only 0.09 g / m 2 This result shows that the green electricity generated by the photovoltaic panel 100 provides a 24-hour uninterrupted light source for the growth of microalgae, greatly improving the growth efficiency of the microalgae.
