Abstract
The device of the present invention converts the kinetic energy of compressed air into electrical energy by setting up (N+1)-level wind turbines with same diameter but different rated power and rated speed in a pipeline and passing the high-speed airflow through the multi-levels of the wind turbine to reduce the airflow speed. The device converts wind energy into electrical energy and mixes atomized water when the compressed air flows through the wind turbines to improve the power generation efficiency. The device is a pipeline power generation device and a dedicated compressed air turbine. The pipeline power generation device can be used by multiple devices in parallel connecting with each other to increase the total power of peak-shaving power. As the result, the cost of the peak shaving power is reduced.
Claims7
A device for power storage and electricity generation based compressed air as an energy source, comprising
- a pipeline,
- a pipeline power generator inside the pipeline, wherein the pipeline power generator comprises (N+1)-level horizontal axis wind turbines in the pipeline to generate electricity, and N is an integer of greater than 1 and equal to or less than 8,
- a diversion cover installed at a center of rotation on a windward side of each horizontal axis wind turbine, and a maximum diameter of the diversion cover is between 50%-90% of an inner diameter of the pipeline, and
- a plurality of deflectors being arranged at equal intervals on an inner wall of the pipeline between atomizing nozzles and a first-level horizontal axis wind turbine and between two adjacent ones of the (N+1)-level horizontal axis wind turbines, and the deflectors are perpendicular to a tangent of a circumference of the pipeline.
