Abstract
Description
Title of the invention: Autonomous micro energy plant for modular building
[0001] The present invention relates to a transportable autonomous energy production and storage device with implementation and demobilization in half a day for isolated office or construction site modules.
[0002] Powering these modules traditionally requires several days of extremely expensive civil engineering work. But this traditional power point is neither transportable nor removable.
[0003] Some of these office or construction site modules are powered by generators so as not to depend on an electrical network. But this solution requires regular monitoring and intervention for the fuel level and is very polluting in terms of CO2 emissions among other things.
[0004] This micro power station makes it possible to overcome these drawbacks. It comprises a set of photovoltaic panels that make it possible to avoid any connection to any electrical network whatsoever and an energy storage system made up of batteries that guarantee electricity production. All of this is made up of sub-assemblies that can be transported on a single transport pallet for rapid transport and deployment.
[0005] Using a unique system, this micro station is fixed to a module with a width of 2m to 3m without any mechanical modification of the module itself, therefore without drilling or welding. Only traditional tools are required for its fixing. Even when folded onto its pallet, this micro station remains pre-wired and is operational in a few minutes.
[0006] The attached drawings illustrate the invention:
[0007] [Fig. 1] represents the micro power station in its wooden crate for transport to the site.
[0008] [Fig.2] represents the micro central unit in its folded position on a single pallet.
[0009] [Fig.3] represents the micro central unit fully deployed with the panels in winter position.
[0010] [Fig.4] represents the micro central unit fully deployed with the panels in summer position.
[0011] With reference to these drawings, the micro power station is equipped with a base (1) which can receive 1 or 2 battery boxes (2) and itself equipped with a main tube (3) which receives the conversion, management and connection box (4), a fixing crosspiece (5) equipped with a secondary tube (6). A main mast (7) as well as a secondary mast (8) slide respectively into the main tube and the secondary tube and the set of photovoltaic panels (9) is fixed to the end of the secondary mast.
[0012] The set of photovoltaic panels (9) consists of 3 folding supports on themselves. The central support is equipped with a 3-position compass (Transport, winter and summer). For safe handling, the compass is assisted by a hydraulic cylinder.
