Abstract
Description
Title of the invention: AUTONOMOUS SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION AND / OR STORAGE OF AT LEAST ONE ENERGY Technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of energy production and storage. In particular, it relates to an autonomous system for producing and / or storing at least one energy.
[0002] The invention further relates to an autonomous method for producing and / or storing at least one energy. The invention also relates to the use of at least one energy and to the autonomous system for producing and / or storing at least one energy. Prior art
[0003] Below we describe the known prior art from which the invention was developed.
[0004] Carbon dioxide (CO2) is considered responsible for 81% of greenhouse gas or "GHG" emissions in Europe according to data published by the French government's General Commission for Sustainable Development in "Key Climate Figures France, Europe and the World" 2022 edition. The main greenhouse gas, and partly responsible for global warming, carbon dioxide is, for example, released through gaseous effluents, such as industrial gaseous effluents, particularly when fossil fuels are burned to provide electricity and heat. These industrial processes include, for example, fossil fuel power generation facilities, natural gas processing facilities, refineries, petrochemical production plants, cement plants and fossil fuel-based hydrogen production plants.Methane is another greenhouse gas also released by many of these industrial processes and has a global warming potential almost 30 times greater than that of CO2. The increase in the atmospheric concentration of GHGs due to anthropogenic emissions increases the emission of energy to the ground, leading to an imbalance in the Earth's energy balance and causing its surface temperature to rise. Thus, preventing the emission of GHGs such as CO2 or methane is a key societal issue.
[0005] In particular, domestic energy for installations contributes greatly to the emission of these greenhouse gases. Indeed, this energy can come from different sources, in particular fossil fuels, nuclear energy and in smaller share of renewable energy sources. For example, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), household energy use is responsible for 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and renewable energy accounted for only 11% of household energy consumption in 2019, with an annual growth of 6%.
[0006] Thus, optimizing domestic energy production is essential to promote the ecological transition.
[0007] Furthermore, the efficient management of domestic energy is proving increasingly worrying for users in view of the scarcity of resources but also to reduce energy consumption, reduce costs related to energy consumption and contribute to the fight against global warming, particularly linked to GHGs. Consequently, the transition to more responsible and more efficient energy consumption is essential to reduce environmental impact.
[0008] Several governments and agencies have implemented various measures to encourage the ecological transition at the domestic level. For example, the German government adopted a law on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions at the housing level, the French government presented its Climate and Resilience bill, Canada announced the EcoENERGY program for homes, Japan adopted a new renewable energy law, which includes a target of 36-38% renewable electricity in the country's energy mix by 2030. Finally, the USA plans a plan to reduce GHGs by 50% by 2030 compared to 2005, which includes measures to encourage the energy efficiency of buildings, or the European Union with its “Fit for 55” plan aimed at reducing the EU's greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030, including the domestic energy transition.
[0009] Thus, several avenues have been explored to reduce GHG emissions and improve domestic energy management.
[0010] For example, according to the International Energy Agency, installing solar panels on roofs can reduce electricity consumption by 10 to 70% depending on the region. However, this solution remains expensive and uncertain. Wind turbines can also be used to produce domestic energy, but they are not yet suitable for large-scale domestic energy (for example, across an entire territory).
[0011] However, not all technologies are suitable for large-scale home implementation and end-user friendly.
[0012] Furthermore, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, 30% of energy is wasted in buildings. Therefore, it is more than necessary to analyze and track energy consumption to identify inefficiencies and reveal opportunities. optimization.
[0013] Energy management systems have emerged on the market. Unfortunately, these systems alert the user about their consumption without influencing energy production or storage, not to mention the losses that remain.
[0014] Distribution management systems have also been developed. These systems allow the end user to influence energy distribution based on their consumption. However, these systems do not allow for autonomous energy production or adaptation to each installation. Indeed, distribution is based on the average consumption of an entire building, for example. Thus, these systems lack precision and sensitivity as well as adaptability.
[0015] Finally, proposals implementing an electrolysis process for the production of hydrogen have been developed. However, these technologies do not allow achieving the profitability and reliability necessary for the end user.
[0016] Thus, most of the existing solutions in energy production remain insufficient and the installations must remain dependent on the electricity supply network for example or on human intervention.
[0017] Thus, today, the need to link the efficiency of domestic energy management to the environmental impact (carbon footprint, renewable resource) is not yet optimized at the level of domestic energy. Current systems only consider the management of consumption or distribution on an industrial or individual scale and do not allow independence from networks and even less financial independence for the end user. In addition, each existing system or process requires the intervention of an operator in terms of maintenance, management, repair or upkeep. Furthermore, security in the production or storage of energy is also a major issue. Finally, it is important to emphasize that conventional energy storage solutions have limits in terms of longevity, acquisition cost and sustainability.
[0018] Thus, there is a need for new processes and systems that are autonomous and / or independent of existing networks and human interventions, efficient in terms of production, distribution and storage of domestic energy with an improved lifespan while being profitable, simple and secure for the end user and with low environmental impact to promote the ecological transition. Obviously, there is also the dimension of profitability and cost limitation for the end user.
[0019] The invention aims to remedy the drawbacks of the prior art. In particular, the invention aims to propose an autonomous system for producing and / or storing at least one energy, preferably at least one domestic energy. said system being of improved efficiency in terms of management, precision and sensitivity, and allowing independence and autonomy of the end user. In addition, the proposed system has a low or zero carbon footprint or even one that can prove negative. In addition, the system is particularly secure for the end user and inexpensive, which can even justify profitability.
[0020] The invention further aims to propose an autonomous method for producing and / or storing at least one energy, preferably at least one domestic energy, said method being simple to implement, sensitive and precise while allowing complete autonomy for the end user. In addition, the proposed method has a low or zero carbon footprint or even one that can prove negative. In addition, the method is particularly secure for the end user and inexpensive and can even justify profitability. Summary of the invention

[0064] A system according to the invention may comprise at least one IT infrastructure, at least one energy production device, at least one storage device.
[0065] More specifically, [Fig.l] can illustrate an autonomous system 1 for producing and / or storing at least one energy 2 for installation 3, said system 1 comprising at least one IT infrastructure 11 comprising: at least one control module 12 configured to control the production and / or storage system in real time from user data and / or system data, at least one security module 13 configured to secure the production and / or storage system in real time from user data and / or system data, at least one storage module 14 configured to store user data and system data, at least one correction module 15 configured to implement at least one corrective action from the user and / or system data,at least one energy production device 4 comprising: at least one transformer 41 configured to transform at least one primary resource 5 into at least one intermediate resource 6 and / or into at least one energy 2, at least one first reactor 42 configured to transform the at least one intermediate resource 6 and / or the at least one energy 2 into at least one final resource 7, at least one second reactor 43 configured to produce the at least one energy 2 from the at least one final resource 7, the at least one first reactor 42 is further configured to be powered by the at least one second reactor 43, the at least one energy production device 4 is further configured to be coupled with the at least one IT infrastructure 11, and the installation 3, at least one storage device 20 configured to store the at least one primary resource 5 and / or intermediate 6 and / or final 7 and / or the at least one energy 2,the at least one storage device 20 is further configured to power the at least one transformer 41 and / or the at least one first reactor 42 and / or the at least one second reactor 43, the at least one storage device 20 is further configured to be coupled with the at least one IT infrastructure 11 and the installation 3.,

[0067] A production device 4 may comprise several elements which may or may not be distinct from each other.
[0068] A device 4 for producing energy 2 may comprise at least one transformer 41.
[0069] The at least one transformer 41 is configured to transform at least one primary resource 5 into at least one intermediate resource 6 and / or into at least one energy 2, preferably domestic energy. Preferably, the at least one transformer 41 is configured to transform at least one primary resource 5 into at least one reaction product 8 and at least one intermediate resource 6 and / or into at least one energy 2. Thus, a transformer 41 makes it possible to obtain at least one energy 2 and / or at least one intermediate resource and / or at least one reaction product 8.
[0070] Preferably, the at least one primary resource 5 may be a renewable resource and preferably exclusively renewable. For example, a primary resource 5 may be selected from solar energy and / or wind energy and / or hydraulic energy and / or biomass and / or organic waste and / or liquid effluents. This makes it possible to reduce the use of fossil energy and to promote the ecological transition, in particular by reducing the carbon footprint. Advantageously, this also allows the system 1 according to the invention to be adapted to several types of primary resources 5 making it possible to promote the diversity of input into the system 1 in identical and / or different resources at the same time or in a deferred manner. This also makes it possible to adapt to all installations and to each end user.
[0071] Furthermore, the at least one transformer 41 may correspond to at least one photovoltaic panel, at least one wind turbine, at least one hydraulic turbine and / or at least one methanizer configured to generate an intermediate resource 6 and / or at least one energy 2, preferably domestic and / or at least one reaction product.

[0073] Furthermore, the at least one transformer 41 may be configured to cooperate directly or indirectly with at least one first reactor 42 and / or a second reactor 43. The at least one transformer 41 may be configured to cooperate directly or indirectly with the at least one storage device 20. Directly may mean without an intermediary and indirectly may mean with at least one intermediary. An intermediary may correspond to any means allowing cooperation between the at least one transformer and the at least one reactor. Preferably, it is direct cooperation. This makes it possible, in particular, to limit losses of resources or products.
[0074] A device 4 for producing energy 2 may comprise at least one first reactor 42.
[0075] A first reactor 42 can be configured to transform the at least one energy 2, preferably the at least one domestic energy and / or the at least one intermediate resource 6 into at least one final resource 7. Even more preferably, a first reactor 42 can be configured to transform the at least one energy 2, preferably the at least one domestic energy and / or the at least one intermediate resource 6 into at least one final resource 7 and into at least one reaction co-product 9. Thus, a first reactor 42 makes it possible to obtain at least one final resource 7 and / or at least one reaction co-product 9.
[0076] Preferably, the at least one intermediate resource 6 can be selected from methane and / or electricity. This makes it possible to promote the autonomy of the system 1. This also makes it possible to promote the independence of the network user as well as to participate in the production of its energy 2. This also makes it possible to vary the resources.
[0077] The at least one final resource 7 is preferably hydrogen.
[0078] Furthermore, the at least one reaction co-product 9 may be selected from O2 and / or carbon.
[0079] The at least one energy production device 4 2, preferably the at least one first reactor 42 configured to generate a final resource 7 and / or a reaction co-product 9 can be selected from a thermal treatment reactor and / or an electrical treatment reactor. For example, at least one first reactor can comprise a pyrolyzer preferably configured to implement plasmalysis, preferably cold plasmalysis and / or pyrolysis and / or an electrolyzer.
[0080] Advantageously, the at least one energy production device 4 2 may comprise at least one purifier configured to purify the at least one intermediate resource 6 and / or final resource 7. The at least one purifier may be coupled directly or indirectly to the at least one first reactor. This makes it possible to improve the quality of the resources.
[0081] Advantageously, the at least one first reactor 42 can be configured to preferably be designed for and preferably be specifically designed to also be powered by the at least one second reactor 43. This makes it possible to promote autonomy, independence but also the reduction of the carbon footprint of the system 1 according to the invention in the production and / or storage of energy 2 and preferably domestic energy. Advantageously, the at least one first reactor can be configured to be supplied with reaction by-product 10 and preferably H2O by at least one second reactor 43. This also makes it possible to use and / or reuse the by-products 10.
[0082] Thus, the at least one first reactor 42 can be configured to cooperate directly or indirectly with at least one second reactor 43. Preferably, this is a direct cooperation so as to create a communicating link between the at least one first reactor and the at least one second reactor. This makes it possible in particular to limit losses of resources or product. In addition, this makes it possible to improve the reliability and robustness of the system 1 as well as its autonomy. This also makes it possible to maximize its efficiency and its production.
[0083] A device 4 for producing energy 2 may comprise at least one second reactor 43.
[0084] The at least one second reactor 43 can be configured to produce at least one energy 2, preferably domestic energy, from the at least one final resource 7. Preferably, the at least one second reactor 43 can be configured to produce at least one reaction by-product 10 and / or at least one energy 2, preferably domestic energy, from the at least one final resource 7. Preferably, the at least one second reactor 43 can be configured to produce at least one reaction by-product 10 and / or at least one energy 2, preferably domestic energy, from the at least one final resource 7 and from the at least one co-product 9 (preferably O2). Thus, a second reactor 43 makes it possible to obtain at least one reaction by-product 10 and / or at least one energy 2, preferably domestic energy.Furthermore, it makes it possible to reduce the carbon footprint of the system 1 or the GHGs since the reaction by-products 10 can be consumed in the energy production device 4 2. Similarly, it makes it possible to reduce the carbon footprint of the system 1 or the GHGs since the reaction co-products 9 can be consumed in the energy production device 4 2.
[0085] The energy 2 produced and preferably the domestic energy produced can be selected from electrical and / or thermal energy. This then makes it possible to provide the end user with different and complementary resources. This makes it possible to contribute to the autonomy and independence of the end user. Furthermore, this makes it possible to reduce the costs linked to the production of energy 2. This also results in a diversity of domestic energy produced.
[0086] A reaction by-product 10 may be selected from CO2 and / or H2O.
[0087] In addition, the at least one second reactor 43 is configured to preferably be designed for and preferably designed specifically to supply the at least one first reactor 42 preferably with reaction by-product 10 and even more preferably with water. This makes it possible to participate in the autonomy of the system 1 as well as to its independence.
[0088] In addition, the at least one second reactor 43 may be configured to preferably be designed for and preferably be specifically designed to be supplied by the at least one transformer 41 preferably with intermediate resource 6 and even more preferably with CH4. This makes it possible to contribute to the autonomy of the system 1 as well as its independence and to maximize its efficiency / production. In addition, this makes it possible to reduce the carbon footprint of the system. The communication between at least one transformer and at least one second reactor also makes it possible to reduce the needs of the system.
[0089] The at least one energy production device 4, preferably the at least one second reactor 43, may comprise a fuel cell and / or a combustion reactor. A combustion reactor may be selected from a thermal treatment reactor and / or an electrical treatment reactor. For example, the at least one second reactor 43 may correspond to a methane combustion and / or hydrogen combustion reactor.
[0090] Advantageously, the at least one device 4 for producing energy 2 may comprise at least one evacuator, at least one recuperator, at least one expander, at least one burner. These elements may each be coupled directly or indirectly to each other and / or to the at least one second reactor 43. This makes it possible, for example, to expand the final resource 7, preferably in the form of a fluid and more preferably in the form of a gas, to a pressure adapted to the operation of the at least one second reactor 43. Similarly, in the event of an exothermic reaction, the heat may be evacuated (preferably the hot water) by an evacuator. Similarly, a recuperator may be configured to recover the energy 2 produced. The at least one second reactor 43 is configured to produce at least one energy 2. Its role may therefore be to transform a final resource 7 into energy 2.During this process there may be a release of heat and production of reaction by-product 10. Thus, the power of the at least one second reactor 43 can be configured according to the power consumed by the user. In a particular embodiment, the at least one second reactor 43 can be coupled with a burner of the combustion chamber type. This makes it possible to generate heat.
[0091] Similarly, the at least one second reactor 43 may be configured to supply an installation 3, preferably an installation 3 as disclosed above. For example, an individual and / or collective building and the elements that they may contain. For example, the at least one second reactor 43 may be configured to supply heat storage, heating of the building, a cooking means, and / or a collective heat network.
[0092] The proposed solution allows the end user to aim for total autonomy of his installation 3 with an improved level of profitability. Thus, thanks to the solution according to the invention, the end user becomes significantly, or even completely, less aware of the evolution of the electricity market and frees himself from his dependence on his electricity supplier. In addition, the system according to the invention guarantees reliability and robustness beyond market standards.
[0093] An autonomous system 1 for producing and / or storing at least one energy 2 and preferably at least one domestic energy may comprise at least one storage device 20.
[0094] A storage device 20 may be configured to store the at least one primary 5 and / or intermediate 6 and / or final 7 resource and / or the at least one energy 2 (domestic energy). Preferably, a storage device 20 may be configured to store the at least one primary 5 and / or intermediate 6 and / or final 7 resource and / or the at least one energy 2 and / or reaction co-product 9 and / or reaction product and / or reaction by-product 10 and / or domestic energy. This makes it possible to improve and optimize energy management as well as to reduce losses. In addition, this makes it possible to improve the security of the system.
[0095] The at least one storage device 20 may further be configured to power the at least one transformer 41 and / or the at least one first 42 and / or the at least one second reactor 43. This makes it possible to contribute to the independence and autonomy of the system 1 according to the invention. The at least one storage device 20 may further be configured to power an installation 3.
