Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a power generation device that utilizes solar and wind power. [Background technology]

[0002] Unlike fossil fuels, renewable energy is energy that exists in nature, such as sunlight and wind power. Since its use does not emit carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, power generation using renewable energy can improve global warming. Examples of power generation using renewable energy include solar power generation and wind power generation.

[0003] Solar power generation is a method of generating electricity from sunlight, utilizing the phenomenon in which electricity is generated when sunlight hits solar panels. Wind power generation is a method of generating electricity day and night, provided there is wind power. On the other hand, the amount of electricity generated by solar power generation is affected by the weather, and the amount of electricity generated by wind power generation can be affected by the seasons and weather, with the amount of electricity generated decreasing depending on the wind direction and speed. For this reason, conventionally, power generation devices have been provided that combine solar power generation and wind power generation to ensure stability by supplying a fixed amount of power every day (for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 7065245 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The wind and solar power generation device of Patent Document 1 has a blade body that rotates around a vertical axis and a generator, and an outer peripheral frame that surrounds the outer periphery of the blade body and is provided with a bearing part that supports the vertical axis is a pole-type power-generating wind turbine with a ground-standing part at the lower end of the outer peripheral frame and a support part at the upper end of the same, and a number of these pole-type power-generating wind turbines are erected at intervals along the periphery of a flat rectangular section to be used for purposes other than power generation to form a pole-type wind turbine group, and a solar cell group is installed between the support parts at the upper end of each pole-type power-generating wind turbine of the group. With the above-mentioned wind and solar power generation system, the solar cell groups and the pylon-type wind turbine groups can be efficiently combined and installed on the target site, making it possible to secure a larger area of ​​the target plot that can be used for purposes other than power generation.In addition, the linked control unit that comprehensively controls the wind power generation power conditioner and the solar cell power conditioner compensates for the drawbacks of the solar cell groups, such as the increase or decrease in power generation due to changes in sunlight, and the pylon-type wind turbine groups not generating power when there is no wind, thereby realizing more stable power generation.

[0006] However, in today's world, where household electricity consumption is increasing and industrial power consumption for industries such as manufacturing, agriculture, and fisheries is also on the rise, there are concerns about power shortages. To resolve this power shortage, it is important to increase the amount of self-generation and self-consumption of residential and industrial electricity. The wind and solar power generation equipment in Patent Document 1 had the drawback of requiring a large installation area to increase the amount of power generated to cope with the growing power shortage, and the solar panels did not generate electricity during the snowy season.

[0007] The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and has an object to provide a power generation device that can increase the amount of power generated per installation area. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The power generation device of the present invention is a multi-story building consisting of columns on which vertical axis wind turbines and generators are installed, and floors on which solar panels are installed. A building is formed by installing multiple pillars on the ground and connecting the pillars with beams, and floors are fixed to the beams. The pillars are made up of multiple rod-shaped piles that are driven or embedded into the ground to form a polygon. The piles are connected and fixed with beams, and a vertical axis wind turbine and generator are installed inside the pillars on each floor except the first floor. The wind from outside passes through the pillars and rotates the wind turbine. is.

[0009] The solar panel is also tilted. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] According to the power generation device of the present invention, by stacking power generation devices that combine wind power generation and solar power generation on multiple floors, it is possible to secure electricity for residential and industrial use. Even during snowfall, the solar panels installed on the floors of each floor can be prevented from being covered with snow, and by using them in combination with wind power generation, it is possible to generate electricity 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, regardless of the region where it is installed, the seasons, or the weather. It is also possible to increase the amount of electricity generated per installed area. This makes it possible to provide a power generation device that can secure electricity for residential and industrial use. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0011] [Figure 1] FIG. 2 is a front view of the power generating device of the present invention. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a plan view of FIG. [Figure 3] FIG. 3 is an end view taken along line AA in FIG. 2. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] This invention realizes self-generation and self-consumption for residential and industrial use. [Example]

[0013] The power generating device of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a front view of the power generating device of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a plan view of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an end view taken along line AA of Fig. 2. The power generating device of the present invention is a multi-story building consisting of columns on which the vertical axis wind turbines and generators are placed, and floors on which solar panels are placed. 1 to 3 has vertical axis wind turbines 14a and generators 14b (wind power generators 14) arranged on eight pillars 12a to 12h of a multi-story building 12, and solar panels 16 (photovoltaic power generators 16) arranged on floors (floor boards) 12x and 12y. One wind power generator 14 is provided on each pillar 12a to 12h on each floor (excluding the first floor), for a total of 16 wind power generators in the multi-story building 12. The power generation system 10 is a system in which wind power generation and solar power generation are installed in the same building (at the same location).

[0014] The multi-story building 12 is composed of columns 12a to 12h and floors 12x, 12y, and 12z (12z is the roof). The columns 12a to 12h are connected by beams (not shown). The floors 12x, 12y, and 12z are fixed to the beams. 1 to 3 are each made up of three rod-shaped stakes 13a, 13b, and 13c that are driven or embedded into the ground to form a triangle. The three stakes 13a, 13b, and 13c that form the triangle are connected and fixed by a beam 13d. External wind and sunlight pass through the pillars 12a to 12h, causing the windmill (blades) 14a to rotate and shining on the solar panel 16. 1 to 3, a wind power generation device 14 (a vertical axis wind turbine 14a and a generator 14b) is disposed inside pillars 12a to 12h.

[0015] The solar power generation device 16 is a solar panel (a solar cell module that converts solar light energy into electricity), and also includes a power conditioner (a device that converts DC power generated by the solar cell module into AC power that can be used in the house), a junction box that combines DC wiring from the solar cell module into one and sends it to the power conditioner, a distribution board, a storage battery, and other components (not shown).

[0016] The wind power generation system 14 is a vertical axis wind turbine 14a and generator 14b, in which the rotation axis of the wind turbine (blade) is perpendicular to the ground. In addition, the system is equipped with an inverter, controller, storage battery, etc. (not shown) as devices for integrating the generated power into the power system of a house or the like. 1 to 3, vertical axis wind turbine 14a and generator 14b are disposed at the center (inside) of pillars 12a to 12h, which are made up of piles arranged in a triangle. When wind turbine 14a catches wind, its rotation axis rotates, and generator 14b generates electricity.

[0017] Solar panels 16 are laid on floors 12x, 12y, and 12z (12z is the rooftop) (FIGS. 1 to 3). The solar panels 16 on the floors 12x and 12y are installed so as to rotate around one of their sides (Fig. 3). A wire 18a is attached to the side opposite the side that serves as the axis of rotation. The angle (tilt) of the solar panels 16 can be adjusted by operating a wire winder 18 that winds up the wire 18a. For example, in strong winds, the solar panels 16 are used while laid out on the floors 12x and 12y. In summer and winter, the installation angle of the solar panels 16 (the angle at which the floor surface receives sunlight most easily) is adjusted.

[0018] By stacking the power generation equipment 10, which combines wind power generation and solar power generation, on multiple floors, it is possible to secure electricity for residential and industrial use. Even during snowfall, the solar panels 16 installed on the floors 12x and 12y of each floor can be prevented from being covered with snow, and by using them in combination with wind power generation, power can be generated 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, regardless of the region where it is installed, the seasons, or the weather. In addition, by making the power generation system a multi-story building 12, the amount of power generated per installation area can be increased. This makes it possible to provide a power generation system that can accommodate the amount of power used for residential or industrial purposes.

[0019] Furthermore, a reflector (not shown) may be attached to the ceiling of each floor to increase the amount of reflected light that strikes the solar panels 16. This increases the power generation efficiency. In snowy areas, a snow melting heater (not shown) may be installed to melt snow blown into the solar panel 16. This makes it possible to generate solar power even during the snowy season. In addition, the electricity generated on each floor during non-use hours is temporarily stored in a large-capacity storage battery (not shown) installed on the first floor (Fig. 1, Fig. 3) or outside, and the stored electricity is then used, allowing for stable power supply.

[0020] (Effect of multi-layered power generation equipment) By making the power generation equipment multi-layered, solar panels can generate electricity even during the snowy season in snowy regions, making it easier to find a wider range of effective installation locations. Also, since wind power becomes stronger the higher you go above ground, wind power generation on higher floors is more efficient than on lower floors, so it is worthwhile to make the power generation equipment multi-layered and build a tower. Tower-type power generation equipment can be constructed according to the amount of power generation required, and maintenance and inspection can be carried out without any particular difficulties, so it can be installed as industrial power generation equipment by both small and medium-sized enterprises and large companies alike. For example, it could be installed like a bridge over a river to obtain the necessary electricity while revitalizing the hydrogen production industry by electrolyzing river water to produce hydrogen. In addition, by installing an antenna and lighting equipment on the top floor, it can also serve as a radio tower or lighthouse.

[0021] The power generation system shown in Figures 1 to 3 is designed to improve the power generation effect per installation area of ​​the entire tower (power generation system) while allowing the first floor to be used as farmland, parking lot, or walkway. In addition to selling the generated electricity, it will be possible to install and store large-capacity storage batteries and build power generation towers that can accommodate the amount of electricity needed for agriculture, livestock farming, aquaculture, hydrogen production, and other uses, thereby contributing to the spread of self-generation and self-consumption.
