Abstract

An off/on-shore electrical power rig can be used in conjunction with redundant gas or oil production rigs at sea by using them as a support unit with all their facilities i.e. accommodation, supply deck Hellipads etc. The rig incorporates wind turbines 9, an air compressor/pumping unit 5, 6 and a hydraulic turbine 1 supplied via inlet 3, and exhausting via outlet ducting 4. The turbine 1 drives a generator 2. The design will produce electricity without burning fuel, thus making it environmentally friendly. It does not have the environmental dangers that nuclear power stations have. <IMAGE>

Description

THIS INVENTION RELATES TO AN OFF/ON SHORE POWER RIG Power stations use fuel to produce steam to turn turbines and it is the fuel that is being used that is damaging the environment. They also burn our coal, oil and gas stocks.
The other power station designs only produce 5% of the total requirement.
The present invention is the off shore power station rig which can be constructed on land, transported to a suitable site and then located on the sea bed or in a constructed well.
The capacity can be rated according to the requirements of the customer. The main design feature is the exhaust system of the spent water which is being returne to the surface level. This is controlled by pumps and compressed air being introdued to the increase the flow.
The use of wind generators is incorporated to make the rig self supporting with it's own electric power to operate this system.
An off/on shore power station rig can have it's capacity increased by adding more turbines and generators. An added advantage of the design is that no fuel os spent producing steam which renders it environmently friendly.
Fig 1 shows a section through the rig in which can be seen the turbines and their housing.
Fig 2 directly above shows the generators.
Fig 3 shows the inlet to the turbines with the protection grills.
Fig 4 shows the turbine outlet ducting.
