摘要： A permanently fixed or transportable power generation station employs one or more shelter structures, containing a chain or series of photovoltaic solar panels on wheeled support frames, each hinged one to the next. The system can be deployed onto a large, relatively flat land area, e.g., unprepared or prepared land surfaces, where the solar panel chain(s) can be extended out and secured by various attachment methods which may include external tracks, cable or bracket attachment systems. Wind turbines on the housings can be raised or tipped up for collection of wind-generated energy. The captured energy is stored in a bank of housed storage batteries and can be delivered to the local electric grid, used for electric vehicle charging stations or provided for primary or back-up power to critical infrastructure.

摘要： A floating power generation station comprises a floating hull with a shelter structure containing photovoltaic solar panels are arranged on a chain of floats, each hinged one to the next. The system can be deployed onto a large flat area, e.g., surface of inlet or bay, where the solar panel chain(s) can be extended out. The power generation station may include air displacement tubes that have a lower end immersed in water, and which feed into a plenum where check valves direct air unidirectionally to an air turbine that powers an electric generator. Air turbines or wind turbines on the barge can be raised or tipped up for collection of wind energy. The captured energy is stored on a bank of on-board storage batteries. Energy can be collected and stored, and the barge can be brought to shore when and where needed. This arrangement can be configured for ground-based deployment. The power generation station can be configured for use on dry land.
