Outdoor noise barriers fitted with solar modules and vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT)

October 4, 2012 / SMART GRID, SOLAR ENERGY, Субсидиране на иновационни проекти

The said barriers have thermal and/or photovoltaic solar modules mounted on a common outer upper noise barrier surface that is turned towards sun, where the barrier is inclined with a constant inclination angle opposite to horizontals. The noise barrier surface and an inner lower noise barrier surface are designed in a sound-reflecting manner, where the inclination angle ranges between 30 and 70 degrees. A water and/or humidity-impermeable protection layer is arranged on an upper side that is turned towards the [...]

MASTER CONTROLLER FOR ROPE-WAY DRIVING TECHNOLOGY

October 4, 2012 / ELECTRIC CARS, SMART GRID, SOLAR ENERGY, Субсидиране на иновационни проекти

A master controller for an electric vehicle (e.g. overhead ropeway gondola lift) is provided to simplify maintenance by checking the position of a snap switch without disassembling switch actuating rods. A master controller for an electric vehicle comprises a driving controller and a reversing gear. The driving controller controls speed and brake of an electric vehicle and comprises a main body, a main handle, a movable block, switch actuating rods, multiple snap switches, a rail, and a guide. The body [...]

Off grid zero-energy house with solar modules boosted by light reflectors

October 1, 2012 / SMART GRID

The newly invented buildings include façade integrated solar PV modules boosted by reflectors and black solar thermal bags for hot water for domestic needs. Both solar thermal and solar photovoltaic arrays are receiving additional soar energy by mirrored reflectors. A zero-energy house belongs to the field of buildings, and makes full use of the sunlight and wind power energy, thereby eliminating the defect of insufficient disposable energy source consumed in the traditional houses. The zero-energy house comprises wall bodies, a [...]

Zero energy home with novel solar inverter circuit of roof PV modules

August 16, 2012 / SMART GRID, SOLAR ENERGY

The present invention relates in general to power converters and more particularly, to a solar inverter circuit that: converts direct current (DC) power from a solar photovoltaic array to a counter flowing alternating current (AC) power in response to a reference AC power source, and (ii) generates additional AC power to supplement the reference AC power source. Conversion of direct current (DC) power from solar cells to alternating current (AC) power required in residential AC lines usually employs a large [...]

External thermal wall insulation with solar PV modules reinforced by internal installation pipes

August 11, 2012 / SMART GRID, SOLAR ENERGY

At present, a conventional polystyrene board is molded and shaped by a forming machine after being foamed. The conventional polystyrene board has the property of satisfying density and thermal conductivity, but has a low tensile strength and folding strength, and easily cracks, deforms or shrinks. When the polystyrene board is used for an external thermal insulation wall anchored by a mechanical fixing device, the anchored thermal insulation polystyrene board has problems and shortcomings of brittleness and easy breaking. So the [...]

Distributed energy revolution – How to reduce energy losses

June 7, 2012 / SMART GRID, SOLAR ENERGY, WIND TURBINES

Renewable energy with low carbon dioxide profile is becoming increasingly important, as the world works to reduce the carbon dioxide emission and preserve the Earth. In many cases smaller renewable energy plants, like solar photovoltaic farms, wind turbines farms, solar thermal plants, etc. are selling their excess energy into the existing external electric power grids. The current mode of operation consists of concentrating the power sources from the entire farm and combining their outputs into one, which is then connected [...]

The present invention relates generally to solar energy production

May 29, 2012 / SMART GRID, SOLAR ENERGY

Reducing the cost of solar energy is critical to ensure it reaches a level of competitiveness with fossil fuels and other conventional energy generation methods. Many approaches are being pursued to increase the efficiency of the PV material implemented within PV modules and thereby decrease its cost. This includes high magnification non-focusing devices and lower magnification concentrators. Both generally use single or dual axis tracking systems to maintain alignment, and both require complex shaping and forming of optical elements to [...]

Super high efficient heat pumps supplied with tempered air by waste heat

March 9, 2012 / SMART GRID, SOLAR ENERGY

The heat pumps are known to be an alternative to production systems such as traditional heat convectors. These are devices to thermodynamic transfer heat from cold to hot environments. The heat pump extracts heat from the cold environment (cold source) for return to hot environments. In winter, the heat is extracted from outside air and is returned to the indoor air. In summer, the reverse is true. These heat pumps that use as a cold source outside air are however [...]

Rooftop Of An Energy Plus House

February 21, 2012 / SMART GRID, SOLAR ENERGY

As living standard increases, a lot of energy is being used to air-conditioned the building, to heat the water, to chill the food, and for other purposes mostly for the comfort of the people in the building. Though some of the purposes are well justified, energy demand causes fast depletion of natural resources, and thus better ways of harnessing energy from alternate and renewable sources are needed. It is also important to improve energy performance of the building, reduce energy [...]
