摘要： A transportable, deployable power system comprising a hybrid power box containing solar panels, wind turbine(s), fuel cells, fuel reformers, and other energy sources. The system could also include waste water and potable water inlet and outlet ports for water treatment. It will also allow for shelf mounted solar and wind turbine installation for disaster recovery, backup power for telecommunication, military power, Homeland Security power, off grid homes and water and wastewater packaging domestically and internationally. The present invention is ideal for any situation requiring immediate power and/or water treatment, such as remote construction sites or in emergency situations. The hybrid power box can be mounted to a standard shipping truck, train, or ship, and transported over land to the desired location.

摘要： An articulating solar energy and wind power harvesting apparatus optimizes harnessing of solar energy and wind power by rotatably and pivotally articulating a solar thermal collector plate to track the sun, and air foils to follow the changing direction of the wind. The air foils also directionally funnel wind to cool a heat exchange system and the solar thermal collector plate. The solar thermal collector plate captures solar radiation for conversion to electricity. A solar lens directs the solar radiation towards the solar thermal collector plate. Air foils are disposed in a radial, spaced-apart relationship around the solar thermal collector plate, pivoting up to 90° to optimize capture of wind. The solar thermal collector plate and the air foils are controllably articulated up to 360° about a vertical plane, and up to 180° about a horizontal plane to optimize capture of solar radiation and wind.

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.

摘要： An invention is presented which greatly improves the potential for individual home wind energy conversion. The system utilizes conventional sail technology to greatly increase the wind energy capture at modest cost. The use of a large area collector for wind energy, such as a sail, allows the conversion of wind kinetic energy into pressure to be further converted into mechanical or electrical energy in a much smaller turbine than in the conventional wind mill configuration. This technology encourages the distributed generation of green and renewable wind energy, complementing solar generation and the grid tie box, toward making the residential home energy neutral.

摘要： The invention provides a solar/air turbine generator system that reduces construction and power generating costs and does not require the use of fossil fuel.A solar/air turbine generator system comprises: a compressor for drawing in and compressing air; a solar receiver for heating the air compressed by the compressor with the use of solar heat collected by a solar collector; an air turbine for driving the compressor and a generator by receiving the compressed air heated by the solar receiver; a regenerative heat exchanger, located between the compressor and the solar receiver, for heating the air compressed by the compressor using the exhaust of the air turbine as a heating medium; and a distribution device, located between the compressor and the regenerative heat exchanger, for distributing the compressed air to the side of the regenerative heat exchanger and to a bypass side, the bypass side being the inlet side of the air turbine. The solar/air turbine generator system further includes a control device for maintaining the air temperature at the inlet of the air turbine at a constant value by adjusting the flow rate of the air turbine exhaust that flows into the regenerative heat exchanger as a heating medium.

摘要： Disclosed is a combined energy supply system of wind, photovoltaic, solar thermal power and medium-based heat storage, capable of storing the energy which would have been “abandoned wind” and “abandoned light” temporarily in the form of heat by medium-based energy storage. Heat is released during peaks in the power grid to generate power, which serves the function of adjusting the peaks in the power grid. With the medium-based energy storage, unstable photovoltaic electric energy can be converted into stable heat energy output when a relatively large fluctuation occurs in wind and photovoltaic power generation, and therefore the stable supply of energy sources can be guaranteed efficiently. Furthermore, a second heater can also be used for heating the low-temperature media outputted by a first medium tank (100), or a third heater is used for heating water in a heat exchanger (500), and therefore the energy storage of the medium or the heating efficiency of the heat exchanger is improved.

摘要： A system for using solar and wind energy for electricity generation and thermal regulation. The system may include a high altitude wind turbine, which may generate electric power and conduct cold to the ground and the rest of the system. The cold may be conducted to a crystallization tank, which may also include an input for heat, for example from solar energy. Cold and heat from the crystallization tank may then be stored or used to heat or cool one or more buildings. Generated electric power may be used in conjunction with or separately from the heating/cooling system.
