摘要： A continuous fluid flow power generator includes an electrical generator with submersible turbine blades in communication with a flow of fluid in a body of water to generate electricity. The generator may include a water tower and a hydro turbine generator to generate electricity through kinetic actions; a float and piston assembly activated by wave action to deliver water to the water tower; kick turbines to create water flow to the water tower through submersible pumps; and a rechargeable battery in communication with the electrical generator and the hydro turbine generator. The generator may also include solar assemblies and windmills to provide supplemental electricity generation for charging the rechargeable battery. The generator may be connectable to a battery bank aboard a vessel or to an electrical grid.

摘要： Disclosed systems and devices relate to generating energy using spherical wind turbines with dimples. The systems, devices, and methods described herein relate to a wind turbine with no blades or propellers. Currently, wind turbines with blades or propellers can have their functionality impaired by the presence of dust, soot, or ash particles in the air. This makes it difficult to operate current wind turbines in certain harsh environments. In this device, a spherical shell entirely encapsulates the generator, such that dust, soot, or ash particles do not interfere with the turbine. In some embodiments, the dimples capture wind to rotate the spherical shell. In some embodiments, the outer surface of the spherical shell is covered with flexible solar cells. In some embodiments, the flexible solar cells sit inside the dimples.

摘要： Renewable Energy (RE) sources are already one of the cheapest sources of energy available today but are variable and infirm, and the open ocean offers many opportunities to generate energy by using various disparate sources and methods on a floating station. These energy stations converting renewable energy including solar, ocean currents, wind, waves and batteries and hydrogen to store energy and provide sufficient stable power and energy as required and available most of the hours. The invention claimed here is a system to capture energy from a combination of wind, solar and ocean currents, along with batteries for storage and later use and hydrogen creation, storage and use for generation. In addition, apparatus is described that provide mechanical stability and resilience in deep open seas and reliably survive storms and hurricanes. Also described is a method for overcoming intermittency of ensuring continuous and stable energy export from the station, and finally methods to continually operate RE station in the open seas even during storms and hurricanes and survive the high winds and waves.

摘要： An approach for adjusting the inclination of a solar panel and the pitch of one or more micro-turbines to maximize power output. The approach predicts wind velocity at a small opening of an inclined solar panel wherein a plurality of micro-turbines is located. The approach predicts solar irradiance striking the inclined solar panel. The approach calculates an optimal solar panel inclination angle and micro-turbine pitch based on maximizing power output. The approach adjusts the solar panel inclination angle and micro-turbine pitch based on the calculation.

摘要： In an energy time-shifting process, an electrical grid is monitored. Based on monitoring the electrical grid, it is determined that one or more criteria are satisfied at a first time. In response to determining that the one or more criteria are satisfied at the first time, water is directed from an aquifer located at a first elevation to a reservoir located at a second elevation. The first elevation is lower than the second elevation. Subsequent to directing the water from the aquifer to the reservoir, water is directed from the reservoir to a turbine generator located at a third elevation. The third elevation is lower than the second elevation and higher than the first elevation. Electrical power is generated using the turbine generated based on the water flowing through the turbine generator. Water is directed from the turbine generator into the aquifer.
