Description
[0001] The invention relates to a power plant system, in particular for generating electricity in a sustainable manner or using renewable energies.
[0002] In view of ever-increasing energy demands under global economic and ecological criteria, as well as the need to conserve naturally available resources, especially considering the currently hesitant decisions of industrialized nations and the demand for more consistent and faster implementation of climate targets, and the directly associated responsibility for unforeseeable climate changes for future generations, not to mention the consequences of migration movements of entire populations and the resulting social conflicts, sustainable, renewable electricity generation on an industrial scale appears urgently necessary.
[0003] In the recent past, energy systems have come onto the market that are essentially roof-mounted heating conductor systems, whose relative energy output depends on weather conditions and the corresponding amount of solar radiation. Such systems are generally neither designed nor capable of raising or increasing temperatures to such an extent that significantly higher energy-efficient temperature setpoints could be achieved, which would allow downstream energy converters to operate efficiently.Seasonal factors, such as snow cover or humidity levels, affect objectively required maximum performance results, so that fossil fuels such as oil, gas or electricity from coal-fired power plants must be used in parallel and as a supplement to compensate for deficiencies in these systems in order to adequately supply apartments, office towers or other demand segments with heat or electricity.
[0004] Based on current technology, a multitude of systems for energy production and electricity generation are known. For example, magnifying glass-mirror combinations demonstrate the potential uses of solar radiation, such as for producing hot water and other energy carriers. However, these and similar systems reach their temperature and energy limits, which are particularly dependent on solar radiation conditions at night and in the weather.
[0005] On the other hand, novel ferroelectric crystal systems in solar cells are expected to achieve temperatures many times higher than those of conventional solar technologies. However, this can lead to an almost excessive and consequently extremely surplus of electrical energy that cannot be consumed or stored quickly and must therefore remain unused. Furthermore, questions regarding industrial-economic and ecological production processes remain unresolved. Moreover, there are no answers to questions about the usability / applicability of these extreme temperatures, particularly in relation to potential hazards. The manufacturing of components for these solar systems is also questionable in terms of sustainability and only partially climate-neutral.
[0006] The problem of suitable storage capacities for these extremely anticipated and surplus energies, which has not even been remotely solved, especially considering the extremely high investments required, is further compounded by the fact that no technological or scientific concepts or feasibility studies have even begun to be considered. Even with the theoretically possible achievement of (literally) 1000 times higher temperature potentials, problems arise regarding the multiplication factors of production for these suddenly and enormous energy volumes, including consumption periods, simultaneous storage of the energy, the necessary standby energy reserves, and the global climate issues that will ultimately create new and additional heat / temperature sources, which could objectively be considered counterproductive in the context of global warming.
[0007] Constantly recurring horror scenarios regarding the costs of constructing energy storage facilities, coupled with claims of their uneconomical operation, are ignored in favor of research into the potential of geothermal energy, an energy source that has existed for millions of years and will likely continue for millions more: geothermal energy. With current technology, temperatures ranging from 100°C to approximately 160°C, already readily accessible at considerable depths, should make it possible to manage and utilize this energy potential effectively. In contrast, oil fields are not subject to such concerns or limitations.
[0008] Instead of increasing or at least maintaining oil and gas production, with the well-known consequences of CO2 emissions, a significantly more climate-neutral geothermal energy source, such as geothermal heat recovery, should be possible without major problems. Fears regarding the risk of triggering earthquakes or similar events through geothermal energy extraction appear to be unjustified. Rather, geothermal energy extraction is being ignored due to a lack of knowledge, as described above. This squanders opportunities, knowledge, experience, and controllability, particularly with regard to space programs and the exploration of the solar system and the universe.
[0009] However, the risk of triggering earthquakes around the globe by extracting geothermal energy is probably significantly less detrimental than the long-term risk of depriving humanity of its livelihoods through unabated CO2 emissions.
[0010] The aim of the present invention is therefore to reconcile the aforementioned framework conditions and perspectives with the currently prevailing circumstances, to optimize cost / benefit, application and yield with regard to global warming criteria, to integrate / expand existing and externally power-limited storage potentials accordingly, and to align and provide the electricity energy system described here according to the invention for required or necessary electricity energy production with the converging lens laser device system presented here for electricity energy generation.
[0011] US patent 8,689,784 B2 discloses a power plant system with a number of light-fed energy converters, to which a converging lens arrangement is connected upstream on the light side. US patent 2012 / 0227779 A1 discloses storage elements connected downstream on the current side.
[0012] The object of the invention is to create even more extensive possibilities for energy supply, to circumvent seemingly uncontrollable, superficial dependencies on constant daylight or solar light radiation during daylight, especially during night and / or bad weather phases, snow and / or moisture coating / layer on lens and laser systems, in order to sustainably and as completely as possible guarantee and ensure essential, above all economically and ecologically sound, energy supply.
[0013] The above-mentioned problems or requirements are solved according to the invention by a power plant system with the features of claim 1.
[0014] The invention is based on the premise that conventional energy converters, which convert incident light directly or indirectly into electricity, could be operated with a significantly higher efficiency at higher intensities of incident light. Especially considering that highly intense light, such as full sunshine, is rarely encountered in everyday use, such a power plant system should therefore be specifically designed to function even in situations with only moderate light levels. To achieve this, according to one aspect of the invention, converging lens systems are installed upstream of the energy converters. These systems focus the incident light even under moderate lighting conditions, thus ensuring high irradiance at the energy converters.
[0015] According to one aspect of the invention, the fact that even simple spectacle lenses can generate temperatures of approximately 350°C at their focal point when exposed to incident sunlight is utilized. Advantageously, and according to another aspect of the invention, the converging lenses of the converging lens system are provided with a diamond facet to further improve this focusing effect at the focal point.
[0016] The energy converters can be any systems that convert incident light directly or indirectly into electrical current, for example photocells, photovoltaic systems, photothermal systems in which a medium such as water is heated by the incident focused light and later used to generate electricity, or the like.
[0017] According to one aspect of the invention, the invention provides for a self-contained, integrated converging lens radiation system, preferably additionally and in symbiosis with laser radiation systems or laser-active media, predominantly internally generated population inversions by force of stimulated light emissions or laser resonator, in order to achieve energy release / results excited by means of further emissions or pumping mechanisms as a result of chain reaction.
[0018] In the light-energy laser power plant according to the invention, it is advantageous that, for example, even in the first step of light irradiation through / into a collecting lens system consisting of special materials of certain glass-ceramic structures, due to their extremely low coefficient of thermal expansion and extremely high mechanical strength, they are particularly suitable for the light-energy laser power plant according to the invention. These materials, consisting, for example, of glass-ceramics, have already proven themselves in the past to be extremely stable materials, especially under extreme industrial stress processes, particularly under the influence of very high temperature resistance or long-term stress phases.
[0019] In the collimating lens system according to the invention, glass ceramics or glasses, for example, are to be used as so-called host crystals for laser-active doping, or also semi-crystalline glass, so-called hybrids, which are characterized by both particularly high mechanical strength and a very low coefficient of thermal expansion. These or similar glass optic materials, for example flint glasses, are to be used in sizes of up to 700 mm in diameter, depending on the power requirement calculations, and are to be positioned on appropriate substrates in conjunction with other components, according to local conditions, i.e., the required quantities / volumes.
[0020] After sunlight enters / passes through converging lenses, so-called spherical or aspherical lenses (which could be plano-convex, biconvex, asymmetric biconvex, or concave-convex lenses (meniscus) with a suitable surface curvature appropriate to the context of the present invention), the light converges and focuses at the focal point (f). It is advantageous that, after the light passes through the converging lens system, the converged light is focused at the focal point F, and the resulting energy potentials are converted into electrical energy by suitable conversion systems. The generated electricity can then be supplied as needed and, if required, fed into power grids. According to the invention, a number of storage elements are also connected downstream of the energy converters on the current side, in which excess electricity can be used to generate population inversions.According to one aspect of the invention, these can later be used to generate laser light, which can then be directed onto the energy converters. This allows the irradiation of the energy converters to be supported and enhanced during periods of low light, particularly during diminishing daylight, enabling them to operate with high efficiency even during these times. According to another aspect of the invention, the excess power is to be segmented and stored in parallel power / storage / battery depots (with occupancy inversions) in standby mode until later use during periods of low irradiance during the day, inclement weather, or at night.
[0021] With regard to the addition of a specific number or multitude of spherical or aspherical focusing lens systems, under constant, relatively intense, and especially angle-appropriate solar irradiance—a key function in this context, in conjunction with integrated laser technology, so-called microlens arrays, should be mentioned here—significant temperature volumes at the focal point of approximately 350°C and beyond, and higher temperature / setpoint values in total, can be achieved. An effectively suitable decomposition of the resulting beams allows for a homogeneous and effective intensity distribution.
[0022] Within each individual focusing lens, endogenously heated, possibly transparent, heating conductors should be located directly beneath its surface to melt snow and ice or evaporate moisture deposits, thus ensuring unimpeded light penetration. This could also be achieved, in particular, by equipping each individual focusing lens body, for example, with hair-thin stainless steel ring alloys (e.g., Cr-Ni, Cr-Al, etc.) or endogenously with heat-conducting, transparent, thermally conductive glass mesh structures. Furthermore, drainage grooves, through continuously adjustable tilting of the focusing lens supports / platforms according to the sun's position, promote unimpeded water runoff.
[0023] The temperature values generated by focusing intensity at focal points f are, in the context and as a total, introduced into system-integrated energy converters following subsequent light wave scattering. Even at this stage of energy generation, energy dosing potential for dynamic temperature and energy control could be utilized by adjusting / changing the focal length. This energy could then be fed externally, for example, into public power grids or used for internal occupancy inversions. Such a computer-aided energy distribution system has the advantage of a balanced use of energy resources.
[0024] To fulfill the aforementioned requirement for eliminating physical obstacles, it is advantageous that, simultaneously with computer-detected changes in temperature values—i.e., energy-reducing anomalies caused, for example, by cloud cover or other obstructions to solar radiation—system measures to restore the required performance levels are automatically implemented. In particular, shortly after the detection of the aforementioned criteria, an internal activation of electricity storage systems can be provided for use during population inversions, whereby, for a limited time, the necessary electricity power quotas are called upon to restore a stable operating state of the energy generators.
[0025] During periods of low solar irradiance, i.e., system-detected energy loss anomalies such as prolonged cloud cover, rain showers, or actual adverse weather conditions like snowfall, fog, etc., the system automatically switches to a so-called darkness mode to compensate for the registered energy irradiance deficit. Also, and especially during and after sunset, and from measured twilight levels, additional lighting systems can and will be activated by the system. These systems generate stimulated laser light emissions, thus contributing to further and overall energy security. However, population inversions are highly conducive to the generation of laser radiation, as otherwise excited electrons would lose the supplied energy through spontaneous emission.
[0026] A significant advantage is that, given the multitude of laser light systems available for the absorber power plant according to the invention for generating electricity, a suitably appropriate "light amplification system" is readily available. Modified solid-state lasers or modified helium-neon laser systems would be suitable for the present power plant system.
[0027] Furthermore, it is advantageous that the light-energy laser power plant according to the invention has deposited, i.e., stored, energy reserves or population inversion primarily and specifically for a system-side operating energy system, in order to maintain the production of light emission energy irradiation seamlessly to the greatest extent possible, even during temporary, unfavorable weather conditions or weakening light irradiation, and thus enables the safeguarding of public energy supply.
[0028] Furthermore, it is of fundamental advantage to compensate for insufficient light irradiance, especially beyond a certain light entry threshold, for example at dusk or after the onset of constant nighttime darkness, by means of the provided laser systems to ensure so-called night-time power supply. These systems are advantageously, and according to one aspect of the invention, suitablely positioned by means of a suitable positioning device so that the laser light can shine onto the energy converters. Preferably, an integrated, in particular rotatable, hydraulic telescopic system is provided for this purpose. This can be activated to activate symbiotically closely linked laser light source systems, so that the completely missing daylight / solar irradiance is converted into so-called main laser beams via / through, for example, switchable diverging lens systems in the form of diverging light units, or via switchable interchangeable optics.Point-shaped focused laser light beams are directed through the underlying basis-oriented converging lens system of the primary plane into focal points, in order to ensure or largely adequately replace the irradiation method, i.e., energy generation for nighttime operational activity.
[0029] Additionally, it is advantageous if system-integrated laser light devices are metered and activated automatically at the beginning of nighttime dark periods or prolonged periods of heavy cloud cover, using computer-aided start activation. For example, the desired laser light intensity on the converging lens systems can be controlled and activated via resistors, with the population inversion quotas being switched on as needed.
[0030] Furthermore, it is advantageous if a system-integrated laser light source system can be switched on for a night-adapted energy supply, and, depending on requirements, interchangeable laser light scattering optics, similar to daylight-intense solar scattering, or, depending on performance-oriented or economically required criteria, point-focus laser main beam optics are used. A preferably hydraulic positioning process of the laser light source system is automatically triggered by computer control, taking into account the current local light conditions and / or the prevailing weather situation, and precisely locked in the congruent position above a focusing converging lens system to ensure a correspondingly effective and results-oriented energy yield.
[0031] It is also advantageous if the symbiosis according to the invention, consisting of a certain number of focusing converging lens optics, in particular with specifically aligned scattering characteristics, arranged on a so-called primary plane, with a certain number of available laser light systems arranged next to or above them on a so-called secondary plane, preferably with equally specific scattering characteristics, represents a particularly favorable and result-oriented complement in terms of optimal energy / current generation in the context of optimal energy / current generation.
[0032] A key advantage is that, within the system, at least one laser resonator in each laser unit excites photons to trigger a chain reaction of further emissions, which are then capable of generating stimulated light emissions. A significant advantage is that both self-contained systems—the converging lens system located on the primary level and the laser system units located on the secondary level—can be positioned at precisely defined points, achieved by hydraulically rotatable or telescopically mechanical robotic systems, to ensure their fundamentally interconnected functionality and coexistence.
[0033] Furthermore, it is advantageous if the fixed, but sun-position-adjustable, converging lens / magnifying glass system of the lower plane can interfere compatiblely with the laser radiation system, which can now be positioned precisely above it. It is therefore essential to ensure, through extremely precise positioning, that the resulting avalanche-like, spontaneous chain reactions of light emissions between the laser-active medium and the converging lens / magnifying glass system are prevented at every stage of the lower frequency source's change in sun position, and to readjust this positioning using laser measurement technology.
[0034] A further advantage arises from the system's inherent flexibility in optical variations, which, depending on requirements and efficiency considerations, allows for the exchange or modification of the laser radiation optics. This enables the generation of both focused or bundled point radiation, which can also pass through the underlying converging lens / fountain lens system as scattered light radiation, thus adequately and as closely as possible to solar radiation, possibly via suitable dispersion or polarization prisms, to reproduce the radiation characteristics of sunlight.
[0035] Furthermore, it is fundamentally advantageous that no external energy needs to be supplied to generate laser radiation; instead, the required population inversion can be provided by existing and generated internal energy reserves for the pumping mechanism of the laser process. Within at least one laser-active medium required by the system, a resonator is positioned that generates a multitude of photons to produce further stimulated emissions. For example, solid-state lasers and similar systems, which primarily operate with crystals or glasses doped with laser-active media, could be used for the inventive system of a current-burning-glass laser power plant.
[0036] Furthermore, the laser resonator described above plays a central role in achieving the necessary maximum laser cavity, i.e., the excitation of higher frequencies and further stimulated emissions, thus increasing power output. Working together, the laser resonator generates identical photons, which are held in place by mirrors in the medium, thereby significantly amplifying or potentiating the possibility of further stimulation.
[0037] Furthermore, it is advantageous that power generation can be achieved by penetrating / illuminating the surface with stimulated-emitting laser radiation, alternately with laser beam focusing and / or laser scattering through optical focusing lens systems. After a computer-determined maximum energy result is obtained, this electricity is then primarily fed into a public power grid. Simultaneously, certain energy volumes can also be fed into internal storage depots for storage in battery depots.
[0038] For the laser light systems described above, which are preferred for use, as well as for the laser-active applications described above, specific focal length settings for optimal laser light generation are just as advantageous as fundamentally adequate wavelength stimulation of emitted light radiation intensity to generate the required population inversion of the laser-side pump energy.
[0039] Finally, and of considerable importance, topographically suitable locations are essential for the focusing device-absorber energy power plant system described here for generating electricity, which requires uninterrupted sunlight until total sunset. Equally essential and fundamental are topographically suitable locations that can already capture the first morning light emissions from the sun. Sloping sites are particularly suitable for optimal results with the absorber energy power plant system according to the invention.
[0040] A significant advantage is that even the first light emissions or the first spectral ranges of visible light waves of daylight, especially through movable light-receiving areas of the structure of the described power plant-electricity-energy system, are capable of being computer-controlled according to each sun position in tilt / rotation / and hydraulic height positioning, similar to reflecting telescopes.
[0041] According to the invention, it is in accordance with the invention if the power plant-electricity-energy system, or the focusing converging lens device system, is used as an absorber power plant for generating electricity energy by means of solar radiation, in the interaction of all the above facts for climate-neutral energy generation and at the same time general resource conservation, thus for fundamental and life-sustaining sustainability.
[0042] Accordingly, the invention applies if the focusing device-absorber energy power plant system according to the invention is used for electricity generation or absorber energy power plant system for generating electric current for feeding into public electricity grid systems.
[0043] In particular, the invention presents a thermodynamic absorber system for generating electricity by means of solar / daylight / light radiation through focusing converging / diverging lens absorber systems, in which, preferably during periods of darkness at night and also during bad weather phases, active laser light radiation is periodically or in phases supplied through such focusing converging / diverging lens systems by means of stimulating laser light emission radiation, supported by systemically redundant population inversions, in order to generate electricity under the premise of sustainability and climate neutrality.

[0045] Identical parts are marked with the same reference symbols in all figures.
[0046] Shown is a focusing device-absorber energy power plant system for renewable electricity generation, which operates sustainably and climate-neutrally via focusing converging / diverging lens systems. During daytime hours, due to sunlight, the system is periodically active, and during nighttime / darkness periods, as well as during periods of inclement weather such as heavy cloud cover. This system operates symbiotically and in interaction / function and effect by means of system-stimulated laser light emissions, relevant computer-aided feedback loops, and redundant laser light sources. Supported by system-integrated population inversions, the system achieves the required temperature setpoints by means of at least one closed (diverging) converging lens system. Converging light beams are generated through a multitude of focal points f, through the use of various components.Activation of appropriate energy conversion systems generates electrical current, which is intended for feeding into public power grids or alternatively, via computer-aided feedback loops, for recharging the occupation investments.
[0047] The focusing device-absorber-energy power plant system for electricity generation can combine solar radiation, preferably supported by an additional intermediate collector glass, solar / daylight radiation, preferably at an ideal direct irradiation angle, through a collecting lens system over and through a combustion chamber / focal point f, in the center, so that already in the first stage of energy generation, already focused beams of radiation are supplied to a maximum focusing in order to achieve even higher temperature values, also and especially in the sum of the focal points.
[0048] The focusing device-absorber energy power plant system for electricity generation can, in particular, bridge uncontrollable dependencies such as daylight or solar light irradiance in night / day / and bad weather phases, such as snow and / or condensation moisture cover, and thus ensure largely uninterrupted and trouble-free electricity generation.
[0049] The focusing device-absorber-energy power plant system for electricity generation provides a self-contained, inter-functionally integrated converging total collecting lens system, which, in symbiosis with a multi-functional laser radiation system of only partially external, but predominantly internally generated population inversion, produces further emissions or pumping powers as energy output results by means of stimulated light emissions or at least one laser resonator-active medium in a chain reaction.
[0050] The focusing device-absorber energy power plant system for electricity generation directs solar or daylight radiation through a collecting lens system made of specially manufactured glass-ceramic structures with a low coefficient of thermal expansion and a stable structural integrity – so-called hybrids. These glass-ceramic materials have proven themselves in the past to be extremely stable materials, especially under extreme industrial stress processes, particularly under the influence of extremely high temperatures and long-term stress phases.
[0051] The focusing device-absorber energy power plant system for electricity generation comprises glass-ceramic lenses or lens glasses, or even semi-crystalline glass, so-called hybrids, as host crystals for suitable laser-active dopants. These host crystals are characterized by both particularly high mechanical strength and extremely low coefficients of thermal expansion.
[0052] The focusing device-absorber energy power plant system for electricity generation comprises glass optical materials, for example, flint glass, in sizes preferably up to 700 mm in diameter. These materials could be used depending on power requirement calculations and positioned appropriately for local conditions, i.e., the required electricity energy demand / volume, in terms of quantity, number, and arrangement, on corresponding carrier media (to be described later) in conjunction with other components (to be described later). Components could include, in particular, alternative materials such as lens mounts made of stainless steel or plastic, or information materials such as electronic data storage media.
[0053] The focusing device-absorber-energy power plant system for electricity generation comprises, in a position after the entry of sunlight, converging lenses, so-called spherical or aspherical lenses. These could be plano-convex lenses, biconvex lenses, asymmetrical biconvex lenses, or concave-convex lenses (meniscus) with a surface curvature appropriate to the present invention. Light converges within these lenses and focuses at the focal point f. After the light enters the converging lens system, once the converged light is focused at the focal point F and the resulting energy potentials are converted into electrical energy by suitable conversion systems, this converted energy is then transmitted to power grids or segmented and stored in parallel, suitable standby power / storage / battery depots for periods of low sunlight during the day or night, or transmitted to other external power grids.
[0054] The focusing device-absorber-energy power plant system for electricity generation comprises a combination of a specific number of spherical and / or aspherical collecting lenses, under constant or intense, especially angle-adequate solar irradiation, ideally at 90°, which fulfill a key function in the context of integrated laser technology, so-called microlens arrays, in order to achieve significant temperature volumes in focal points / combustion chambers of / from 350°C and above, whereby an energetic and targeted decomposition / intensity distribution of beams takes place.
[0055] The focusing device-absorber energy power plant system for electricity generation comprises endogenously heatable, transparent heating conductor alloys within individual collecting lenses, preferably directly beneath their surface, to melt ice or snow or evaporate moisture deposits such as condensation. This is to be achieved in particular by means of stainless steel alloys made of Cr-Ni or Cr-Al, or by heatable, ring-shaped transparent glass rings or suitable heat-conducting mesh structures, endogenously introduced / cast in. Drainage channels / grooves are intended to ensure unimpeded drainage of meltwater or condensation in / on continuously movable or rotatable collecting lens planes, i.e., for laser light carrier surfaces.
[0056] The focusing device-absorber-energy power plant system for electricity generation is designed so that the temperature values generated by / at individual focal points f on collecting lenses are, in total, initially separately by means of solar radiation into / via the collecting lens focal point system, computer-controlled at all times, in the required and computer-controlled ideal irradiation position and forward the resulting temperature values to predestined intensity-maximizing power conversion devices.
[0057] The focusing device-absorber energy power plant system for electricity generation is designed to feed the generated electricity, the primary energy potential created via a collecting lens system, into the public electricity grid as needed. Excess electricity, or electricity demand from reduced public needs, is to be stored in redundant energy storage depots to maintain the overall operating system of the power plant and used to recharge onboard battery units.
[0058] The focusing device-absorber-energy power plant system for electricity generation provides that, in the event of an interruption of an otherwise relatively controllable / uniformly tolerable solar irradiance, during longer periods of cloud cover, system-intolerable changes in certain temperature values, i.e., as a consequence of energy-reduced anomalies, also with regard to external temperature conditions, computer-detected and simultaneously, in a demand-rhythm according to the aforementioned criteria, synchronously connect electricity energy storage / battery accumulators and, for a limited time, call up the necessary electricity power volumes in order to restore or guarantee a stable status quo.
[0059] The focusing device-absorber energy power plant system for electricity generation is designed so that in the event of prolonged periods of insufficient solar irradiance, such as during rain showers, extended periods of heavy cloud cover, or scenarios with insufficient or no brightness due to snowfall, fog, etc., the system automatically switches to a so-called darkness mode to maintain the required energy output and the relevant power output level during and after sunset. To achieve this, laser light systems are activated by the system once measurable, recorded, or maximum twilight levels are reached, generating stimulated laser light emissions to maintain the target values and contribute to overall energy security.
[0060] The focusing device-absorber energy power plant system for electricity generation takes into account that external population inversions are typically required to generate laser radiation. Several inversion sources are available to fulfill this requirement. Primarily, a self-contained, computer-networked energy depot operating in symbiotic coexistence can ensure this. Secondarily, a population inversion from geothermal energy use, which has existed for millions of years and will persist for millions more, but is still not professionally utilized, is a viable option.
[0061] The focusing device-absorber-energy power plant system for power generation is designed so that, with the computer-controlled interchangeable optics according to the invention, coherent or alternately divergent radiation beams or coherent area radiation are possible at the outputs of the laser sources, to the input of collimator / collecting lens systems, depending on the power converter systems subsequently used, to the focal point f, through the laser light amplification system, in order to achieve particularly efficient power energy generation in optionally with one or the other described interchangeable optics at the outputs of the laser sources, after the focal point f collimator / collecting lens systems, at / through / by means of an adequate converter system.
[0062] The focusing device-absorber-energy power plant system for electricity generation preferably takes into account that a modified solid-state laser or a modified helium-neon laser could be suitable for this new laser model category of a new laser light amplification system using interchangeable optics, a new laser type variant as a basis. Given the multitude and variability of different laser principles for generating light emissions according to Theodore Mainman, Arthur Schawlow, Albert Einstein, Charles Townes, and others, the energy and power plant system according to the invention, enhanced by interchangeable optics, represents a further development.
[0063] The focusing device-absorber energy power plant system for power generation is designed so that the inventive light-energy laser power plant has deposited, i.e., stored, energy reserves / occupation inversion primarily and specifically for a system-side operating energy system in order to enable the maintenance of the production of light emission and energy irradiation even during temporary, unfavorable weather conditions or weakening light irradiation.
[0064] The focusing device-absorber-energy power plant system for electricity generation takes into account, in one aspect, that only daylight / sunlight penetrates a diverging lens system. This system, with its specific number, arrangement, size diameter, and spatial radiation characteristics, initially converges incoherently, then becomes monochromatic, converging at a focal point f. Further along the path of the beam, after the focal point, the radiation becomes coherent, i.e., propagating almost parallel to the ground. The described collecting lens system is located on a hydraulically controlled, computer-adjustable rotating or swiveling platform. Ideally, the platform is positioned at a 90° angle to the incident light, depending on the sun's position and the intensity of the light, on a primary illumination plane. If higher-intensity optical radiation is supplied, an additional significant effect can be achieved through self-focusing.This would result in a multiplication of the frequency doubling and a maximization of electrical energy.
[0065] The focusing device system, as an absorber power plant for electricity generation, takes into account one aspect: in the event of insufficient or decreasing light irradiance, from a certain lower and computer-detected level of solar / light irradiance, for example at dusk or after darkness has fallen, a system-superimposed, rotatable and swiveling hydraulic laser emission secondary plane, integrated laser light source device, is positioned computer-controlled above the primary irradiation plane described in point 19.
[0066] The focusing device system as an absorber power plant for electricity generation comprises a laser light amplifier system, coupled to at least one internal population inversion, in / through the collecting lenses arranged on the primary irradiation plane, laser light radiation, possibly equipped and computer-controlled, with switchable interchangeable optics, which introduces coherent or incoherent beam-shaped focus laser beam bundles, forming respective f focal points there, in order to ensure a continuation of a controlled intensive irradiation process by / via suitable conversion systems for nighttime required operational activity and to adequately replace daylight irradiation.
[0067] The focusing device system as an absorber power plant for electricity generation includes, for a night-adapted energy supply, an additional system-side laser light source system that can be switched on hydraulically, and in which, depending on the corresponding framework conditions, interchangeable polychromatic laser light scattering optics, similar to that of daylight-intensive solar scattered light radiation or, depending on the specification, other effectively-economically coherent focus laser main beam optics are used.
[0068] The focusing device system, acting as an absorber power plant for electricity generation, comprises a laser emission secondary plane, which is automatically triggered in the context of local light / weather / conditions and is hydraulically and computer-controlled positioned precisely above the focusing converging lens irradiation primary plane in a congruent position. This secondary plane additionally or supplementarily positions laser light sources in a specific arrangement, quantity, and depth penetration intensity on the laser emission secondary plane. During / for nighttime periods of darkness, i.e., also sensor-measured longer periods of cloud cover, the system retrieves, doses, activates, and thus secures electricity energy results via stored internal reference inversion occurrences.
[0069] The focusing device system, designed as an absorber power plant for electricity generation, incorporates a specific number of laser-active optical media systems on the so-called secondary plane. Each system is equipped with at least one laser resonator that excites photons, generating stimulated light emissions that subsequently and continuously trigger further emissions. Therefore, a fundamental and indispensable coexistence exists between the converging lens's primary irradiation plane and the laser's secondary emission plane. The primary and secondary planes comprise and form a self-contained, computer- and hydraulic-based control system, fundamentally interdependent in its function. This system enables a precisely determined positioning point for the hydraulic rotational movement mechanism of the entire moving system, confirmed by laser measurement, to achieve the desired effect.
[0070] The focusing device system, as an absorber power plant for electricity generation, preferably provides that, in the interest of system flexibility, the mechanical interchangeability of the laser output optics is computer-controlled, and the laser beam characteristics are optimized for maximum energy efficiency. Focusing allows coherent radiation to be generated, or incoherent radiation to penetrate the primary converging lens / magnifying glass system below as wave-scattered light radiation, thus adequately and as closely as possible to solar radiation, possibly via suitable interposed dispersion or polarization prisms, to reproduce / imitate the radiation characteristics of sunlight, activate focal points, and direct the radiation to conversion systems.
[0071] The focusing device system, acting as an absorber power plant for electricity generation, stipulates in one aspect that, fundamentally, external grid power should first be supplied to create laser radiation. The population inversion required to activate pump mechanisms for the laser process is primarily supplied by self-generated energy from corresponding volumes, based on empirical data and calculated consumption probabilities from appropriate storage depots and their volumes.
[0072] The focusing device system, designed as an absorber power plant for electricity generation, incorporates a resonator positioned within each laser unit, specifically within a laser-active medium. Resonators are advantageous for generating the necessary quantities of photons for further stimulated emissions within the system, ensuring optimal efficiency for the inventive absorber power plant. For example, solid-state lasers and similar systems, primarily crystals and / or glass / hybrids doped with laser-active media, could be used in the inventive absorber power plant and employed within the current-burning glass laser power plant for stimulated light emissions.
[0073] The focusing device system, designed as an absorber power plant for electricity generation, incorporates a feature that, to produce / generate electricity, stimulated-emitting laser radiation is directed to specific focal points through optical focusing systems that alternate between laser beam focusing and / or laser scattering. This process aims to achieve a computer-measured maximum energy output or target value, which is then fed into the public power grid. Simultaneously, certain energy volumes can also be fed into internal storage depots for battery storage.
[0074] The focusing device system, acting as an absorber power plant for electricity generation, takes into account the crucial importance of suitable locations with unobstructed sunlight. Equally essential are the advantages of specific topographical locations that allow for unobstructed sunlight until total sunset. For example, sloping terrain is particularly suitable for optimal light emission results, both for the first morning sunlight and the last, diminishing sunlight.
[0075] The focusing device system as an absorber power plant for electricity generation takes into account, in a further aspect, that, independent of and ideally dependent on slopes, the ability of tilt / rotation / and hydraulic height positioning, similar to the known systematization of the optimally useful angle of incidence of light in giant reflecting telescopes, according to each position of the sun, is to be based on the described and computer-controlled system control.
[0076] The focusing device system as an absorber power plant for electricity generation enables, in one aspect, that the power plant-electricity-energy system according to the invention, or the focusing collecting lens device system, as an absorber power plant, for generating electricity energy by means of solar radiation, in the interaction, symbiosis and in connection with feedback loops, all the above facts for climate-neutral energy generation, at the same time general resource conservation in the area of energy generation, achieves target values and thus documents the term sustainability.
