Abstract
Disclosed herein is a hybrid solar chimney to provide energy gain, including at least one chimney where the suction-draft process (vacuum effect) results in air whose density is reduced by the horizontal wing and at least one greenhouse to heat the air in the chimney.
Claims13
A hybrid solar chimney to provide energy gain, comprising:
- at least one chimney in which a suction-draft process (vacuum effect) is created, wherein air has its density reduced by a horizontal wing and at least one greenhouse to heat the air that is in the at least one chimney, wherein the at least one chimney further comprises:
- a chimney draft mechanism hat is connected to a top of the at least one chimney to ensure air draft inside the at least one chimney and to ensure operation of the at least one chimney in dark weather and winter seasons when solar rays are insufficient;
- the horizontal wing, which divides wind energy transmitted to it the horizontal wing into a top portion and a bottom portion, according to its location, wherein the horizontal wing allows the wind energy at the bottom portion to be faster than the wind energy at the top portion, and wherein the horizontal wing provides the air draft by creating a vacuum effect due to the wind energy at the bottom portion being faster than the wind energy at the top portion;
- a first translation element to provide forward-backward movement to the horizontal wing in the direction of a second axis;
- a second translation element to provide up-down movement to the horizontal wing (11) in the direction of a first axis;
- an angle adjustment element to adjust a position of the horizontal wing according to the wind energy (wind speed) and to ensure use of wind energy at the most appropriate angle;
- a tail wing to indicate direction of the horizontal wing in order to ensure that the horizontal wing is constantly oriented towards a direction of the wind;
- a slewing bearing to ensure that the tail wing constantly rotates towards the direction of the wind;
- a transparent cover to cover the greenhouse;
- an air router to ensure that the heated air in the greenhouse is directed to the at least one chimney;
- a power generation mechanism to ensure conversion of wind energy (mechanical energy) into electrical energy through alternators;
- a turbine blade to provide necessary drive to ensure operation of the power generation mechanism in order to ensure production of electricity within the power generation mechanism;
- a warning evaluation unit, in which information coming from sensor groups located in different positions, angles, and directions is first evaluated, the data obtained is compared and controlled according to a predetermined processing range;
- and
- a control unit that processes information received from the warning evaluation unit and, as a result of evaluations of the warning evaluation unit, enables a position of the horizontal wing to be adjusted in case of weather conditions suitable for its operation, provides necessary information to the first translation element, the second translation element, and the angle adjustment element, in order to adjust the direction of the horizontal wing according to the wind direction, and to check control and operation accuracy of the first translation element, the second translation element, and the angle adjustment element.
