Description
本發明是有關一種發電機組，特別是指一種洋流發電機組。 The invention relates to a generator set, in particular to an ocean current generator set.
當海水的溫度出現落差時，會產生一特定方向之洋流(例如：黑潮)，而這種洋流的流速及力量相當強勁，相當適合利用於水力發電技術。 When there is a drop in the temperature of the seawater, a specific direction of ocean currents (for example, black tide) is generated, and the flow rate and strength of the ocean current are quite strong, which is quite suitable for utilizing hydropower technology.
以黑潮為例，黑潮從赤道經菲律賓至台灣東岸，最後抵達日本，黑潮寬約150至200公里，深度達數百公尺，是全球第二大洋流，水流強勁而穩定，流速平均每秒1-2米(一天北流超過100公里)，估計流量約每秒6500萬立方公尺，是世界最大河流亞馬遜河流量的360倍，而且一年四季不間斷，是近乎無窮的能量來源，事實上，台灣是最適合黑潮發電的地點，台灣四周環海，東部海域經年有強大而穩定的黑潮北上，而黑潮行經台灣時離陸地最近、流量最穩定，台電曾在1998年和1999年間分別調查蘇澳、綠島、蘭嶼的黑潮動能蘊藏量，以及沿測線的詳細水深圖，結果發現，這3處黑潮總和蘊藏能量超過3GW，相當於2.5座核四機組的發電量，非常可觀。因此，若能成功捕捉黑潮的部分動能，應可發揮巨大的減碳效益。 Taking the Kuroshio as an example, the Kuroshio flows from the equator through the Philippines to the east coast of Taiwan, and finally arrives in Japan. The Kuroshio is about 150 to 200 kilometers wide and hundreds of meters deep. It is the second largest ocean current in the world. The water flow is strong and stable, and the flow rate is average. 1-2 meters per second (more than 100 kilometers per day north), the estimated flow rate is about 65 million cubic meters per second, which is 360 times that of the largest river in the world, and it is an endless energy source all year round. In fact, Taiwan is the most suitable place for black tide power generation. Taiwan is surrounded by the sea. The eastern seas have a strong and stable black tide northward, while the Kuroshio is the closest to the land and the most stable flow when passing through Taiwan. Taipower was in 1998. In 1999, the Kuroshio kinetic energy reserves of Suao, Ludao and Lanyu were investigated separately, and the detailed water depth map along the survey line was found. The results show that the three Kuroshio sums contain more than 3GW of energy, equivalent to 2.5 nuclear four units. The amount of electricity generated is very impressive. Therefore, if you can successfully capture part of the kinetic energy of the Kuroshio, you should be able to play a huge carbon reduction benefit.
如申請案號第096123426號及第101104573號專利皆為利用洋流來發電之技術。該先前技術都是使用混凝土沉箱，沉入海底並固著於海床上，再拖曳發電機利用洋流進行發電，但是，該混凝土沉箱以及海底錨固作業實際施作較困難，除了技術門檻較高之外，且成本耗費較 高。在現今相當重視綠能發電的時代，可以有效利用大自然的力量進行發電之潔淨能源是相當值得被發展的，所以，實有必要發展一種技術門檻及資金需求較低，且可以有效利用洋流進行發電之技術，以增加潔淨能源之產出。 Applications such as Application Nos. 096123426 and 101104573 are technologies that utilize ocean currents to generate electricity.

However, the concrete caisson and the seabed anchoring operation are more difficult to perform, except for the higher technical threshold. And cost is more expensive high.

有關本發明之相關申請專利特色與技術內容，在以下配合參考圖式之較佳實施例的詳細說明中，將可清楚的呈現。 The detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention will be apparent from the detailed description of the preferred embodiments.
參閱圖1，本發明洋流發電機組1之較佳實施例包含：至少一發電單元2、一拖曳載具3、一浮體單元4，及一傳輸纜線5，其中，該至少一發電單元2是沒入水中受洋流帶動而發電；該拖曳載具3是位於海面上，並與該至少一發電單元2連接，且該拖曳載具3是用以操控該至少一發電單元2以及接收該至少一發電單元2所產生的電力；該浮體單元4則漂浮於海面上，一端固定於陸地上，另一端固定於該拖曳載具3。 Referring to FIG. 1, a preferred embodiment of the ocean current power generating unit 1 of the present invention comprises: at least one power generating unit 2, a towing vehicle 3, a floating body unit 4, and a transmission cable 5, wherein the at least one power generating unit 2 The submerged vehicle 3 is located on the sea surface and is connected to the at least one power generating unit 2, and the towing vehicle 3 is for controlling the at least one power generating unit 2 and receiving the at least The electric power generated by the power generating unit 2; the floating body unit 4 floats on the sea surface, one end is fixed on the land, and the other end is fixed to the towing vehicle 3.
其中，該至少一發電單元2具有一與該拖曳載具3連接的拖曳纜線21，及一連接於該拖曳纜線21末端且沒入水中受洋流帶動而發電的洋流發電機本體22。 The at least one power generating unit 2 has a towing cable 21 connected to the towing vehicle 3, and a current generator body 22 connected to the end of the towing cable 21 and being driven by the ocean current to generate electricity.
其中，該發電單元2更具有一圍繞該洋流發電機本體22之導流環板24，該導流環板24之開口大而出口小可使流過之水流加速，以提升該洋流發電機本體22之發電效率。 The power generating unit 2 further has a flow guiding ring 24 surrounding the ocean current generator body 22. The opening of the flow guiding ring plate 24 is large and the outlet is small to accelerate the flow of water flowing to enhance the body of the ocean current generator. 22 power generation efficiency.
再參閱圖2，該浮體單元4具有多數個互相連接的浮台41，每一浮台41具有一空間42；該傳輸纜線5是設置於所述浮台41的空間42中，用來將該拖曳載具3所接收到的電力傳輸至陸地上的儲電設備(或用電設備)。 Referring to FIG. 2, the floating body unit 4 has a plurality of interconnected floating platforms 41. Each floating platform 41 has a space 42. The transmission cable 5 is disposed in the space 42 of the floating platform 41 for The power received by the towing vehicle 3 is transmitted to a power storage device (or a power device) on the land.
本實施例的發電單元2是單一組，也就是 說，一個拖曳載具3會搭載一組發電單元2，但是實際實施時也可以設計有多數組發電單元2，如圖3所示，也就是說，一個拖曳載具3會搭載多數組發電單元2，除此之外，該洋流發電機組1更包含一設置於該陸地上之樞轉頭6，該浮體單元4之一端是與該樞轉頭6連接，另一端則與該拖曳載具3連接，該樞轉頭6可偏轉一預定角度，如圖3中之偏轉範圍所示。 The power generating unit 2 of this embodiment is a single group, that is, It is said that one towing vehicle 3 will be equipped with a group of power generating units 2, but in actual implementation, a multi-array generating unit 2 can also be designed, as shown in Fig. 3, that is, one towing vehicle 3 is equipped with a multi-array generating unit. 2. In addition, the ocean current generator set 1 further includes a pivoting head 6 disposed on the land, one end of the floating body unit 4 is connected to the pivoting head 6, and the other end is connected to the towing vehicle. 3 connected, the pivoting head 6 can be deflected by a predetermined angle, as shown by the deflection range in FIG.
請再參閱圖4，主要在介紹該浮體單元4的整體特徵設計，該浮體單元4具有多數條檢測線路43、一高於海面上的行走通道44、一用以收發衛星訊號之定位元件45，及一可發出光源之發光元件46。 Referring to FIG. 4 , the overall design of the floating unit 4 is mainly introduced. The floating unit 4 has a plurality of detecting lines 43 , a walking channel 44 higher than the sea surface, and a positioning component for transmitting and receiving satellite signals. 45, and a light-emitting element 46 that emits a light source.
其中，該浮體單元4包括有複數個連接相鄰兩浮台41之連接件47，而所述連接件47在本實施例之中是採用鋼纜，另外也可以視實際需要，使用扭力彈簧、金屬鍊條，或是上述材料的組合。 The floating body unit 4 includes a plurality of connecting members 47 connecting the adjacent floating platforms 41. The connecting member 47 is a steel cable in the embodiment, and a torsion spring can also be used according to actual needs. , metal chain, or a combination of the above materials.
其中，所述多數條檢測線路43是設置於兩相鄰浮台41之間，當至少其中一條檢測線路43斷線時，代表相鄰浮台41產生脫離，本實施例是利用將各條檢測線路43是形成通電狀態，當至少其中一條檢測線路43產生斷電狀態時，就會是所謂的斷線。 The plurality of strip detection lines 43 are disposed between two adjacent floating stages 41. When at least one of the detecting lines 43 is disconnected, the adjacent floating stages 41 are separated. In this embodiment, each strip is detected. The line 43 is in an energized state, and when at least one of the detecting lines 43 generates a power-off state, it is a so-called disconnection.
該浮體單元4的行走通道44則可以供人員通行，以便人員可以在陸地、拖曳載具3之間移動，若是拖曳載具3需要維修或浮台41脫離時，都可以利用行走通道44來輸送人員進行修復的動作。 The walking passage 44 of the floating body unit 4 can be used for personnel to pass, so that the person can move between the land and the towing vehicle 3. If the towing vehicle 3 needs maintenance or the floating platform 41 is disengaged, the walking passage 44 can be used. The person who transports the person to perform the repair.
另外，該浮體單元4一端是固定於陸地上，但是另一端倘若還未跟拖曳載具3連接時，便需要藉由該定位元件45發出定位訊號，以及發光元件46發出光源，以利位於該浮體單元4附近之拖曳載具3得以得知該浮體單元4之位置而靠近，且當該拖曳載具3接近該浮體單元4至一定距離之後，便可以利用該拖曳載具3上的綁繩等， 來跟該浮體單元4的另一端固接，如此一來，該浮體單元4就可以在一特定範圍內漂浮於海面上，不會受到潮流或風浪的拖曳而四處漂流。 In addition, one end of the floating body unit 4 is fixed on the land, but if the other end is not connected to the towing vehicle 3, the positioning signal is required to be emitted by the positioning component 45, and the light-emitting component 46 emits a light source to facilitate the location. The towing vehicle 3 near the floating body unit 4 is known to be close to the position of the floating body unit 4, and after the towing vehicle 3 approaches the floating body unit 4 to a certain distance, the towing vehicle 3 can be utilized. Tied up on the rope, etc. The other end of the floating body unit 4 is fixed, so that the floating body unit 4 can float on the sea surface within a certain range without being dragged by the current or the wind and the waves.
由於該浮體單元4的一端是固定於陸地上，而不是固定於海底，所以不需要進行危險性較高的海下作業，相較之下，可簡化工程難度、降低工程成本。 Since one end of the floating body unit 4 is fixed on the land instead of being fixed to the sea floor, there is no need to carry out dangerous underwater operations, which simplifies engineering difficulty and reduces engineering cost.
況且，當工作一段時間之後，可將所述發電單元2拉回拖曳載具3上進行保修及防腐蝕處理，此時可替換新的發電單元2下水工作。也就是說，船上有多台發電單元2可供備用，藉此可解決發電單元2鏽蝕的問題 Moreover, after working for a period of time, the power generating unit 2 can be pulled back to the towing vehicle 3 for warranty and anti-corrosion treatment, at which time the new power generating unit 2 can be replaced by the new water generating unit. In other words, there are multiple power generation units 2 on the ship for backup, which can solve the problem of rusting of the power generation unit 2.
再者，該拖曳載具3是藉由該浮體單元4連接定位於特定的海面上，並不需要利用船錨嵌入海床的石縫或是縫隙中，所以相較於以船錨固定拖曳載具3的方法來說，本發明的船錨並不需要設計成體積很大或是重量很重以增加固定力，所以本發明之該拖曳載具3可以是較為輕便的機種，容易實施便於收集參數，泛用性較佳。 Furthermore, the towing vehicle 3 is positioned on a specific sea surface by the connection of the floating body unit 4, and does not need to be embedded in the stone seam or the gap of the seabed by the anchor, so the towing is fixed compared with the anchor. In the method of the carrier 3, the anchor of the present invention does not need to be designed to be bulky or heavy to increase the fixing force, so the towing vehicle 3 of the present invention can be a relatively lightweight model, and is easy to implement. Collecting parameters is more versatile.
在本發明之中，該拖曳載具3是具有自主動力之海上載具(例如船隻或海上平台)，因此，當拉扯力太強時，該拖曳載具3可朝陸地方向移動，以避免纜線斷裂。若是當風浪太大時(例如颱風季節)，該拖曳載具3則可以依靠自主動力，進行該發電單元2與浮體單元4之回收作業，以避免該發電單元2與浮體單元4被強大風浪拉扯而毀壞。 In the present invention, the towing vehicle 3 is a seaborne vehicle having an autonomous power (for example, a ship or an offshore platform), so that when the pulling force is too strong, the towing vehicle 3 can be moved toward the land to avoid the cable. The line breaks. If the wind wave is too large (for example, during the typhoon season), the towing vehicle 3 can rely on the autonomous power to perform the recovery operation of the power generating unit 2 and the floating body unit 4 to prevent the power generating unit 2 and the floating body unit 4 from being powerful. The wind and waves are pulling and destroying.
再者，該發電單元2更具有一連接該拖曳載具3與該洋流發電機本體22的控制訊號傳輸線23，用以自該拖曳載具3操控該洋流發電機本體22，以控制所述洋流發電機本體22於水面下的運作模式，例如：控制所述洋流發電機本體22面對洋流的方向等等。 Furthermore, the power generating unit 2 further has a control signal transmission line 23 connecting the towing vehicle 3 and the ocean current generator body 22 for controlling the ocean current generator body 22 from the towing vehicle 3 to control the ocean current. The mode of operation of the generator body 22 below the surface of the water, for example, controlling the direction in which the ocean current generator body 22 faces ocean currents, and the like.
至於所述拖曳纜線21除了可以拖曳所述洋流發電機本體22之外，也可以與控制訊號傳輸線23合併 成同一條。 As for the tow cable 21, in addition to dragging the ocean current generator body 22, it can also be combined with the control signal transmission line 23. In the same article.
實際實施時，島嶼錨固點在合理範圍內作最大利用。 In actual implementation, island anchor points are used to the maximum extent within reasonable limits.
除此之外，該浮體單元4之面積可設計成足以提供足夠之浮力，此外，在該浮體單元4上設置該定位元件45、發光元件46以便拖曳載具3得以利用衛星定位或是肉眼目視燈光之方式，以有效發現該浮體單元4。而該浮體單元4上亦可安裝遠端監控器材以監視其目前是否有拖曳載具3與其連結進行發電等使用狀況。 In addition, the area of the floating body unit 4 can be designed to provide sufficient buoyancy, and in addition, the positioning element 45 and the light-emitting element 46 are disposed on the floating body unit 4 so that the towing vehicle 3 can be positioned by satellite or The way of visually observing the light is to effectively find the floating body unit 4. The floating unit 4 can also be equipped with a remote monitoring device to monitor whether there is currently a use condition in which the towing vehicle 3 is connected to generate electricity.
再參閱圖5，本發明可以在島嶼周圍設計上述洋流發電機組1，隨著黑潮洋流被島嶼分隔之後，又會在距離陸地較遠處再合流，所以只要設計足夠長度的傳輸纜線5，就可以讓上述洋流發電機組1距離陸地夠遠，而可以利用其洋流發電機本體22被黑潮洋流帶動而進行發電。 Referring again to FIG. 5, the present invention can design the above-mentioned ocean current generating set 1 around the island. After the black tide current is separated by the island, it will merge again at a distance from the land, so as long as a transmission cable 5 of sufficient length is designed, It is possible to make the above-mentioned ocean current generating unit 1 far enough from the land, and it is possible to generate electricity by using the ocean current generator body 22 to be driven by the Kuroshio current.
另外要說明的是，本發明之該洋流發電機本體22的發電方式，主要是受到黑潮洋流之沖擊而被帶動以轉動產生電能，並將電能朝向該拖曳載具3的方向輸送，除了可以直接補充入該拖曳載具3的電瓶之中，也可以再透過其傳輸纜線5傳輸至島嶼或陸地上的儲電設備或用電設備，併入既有之輸電系統。 It should be noted that the power generation mode of the ocean current generator body 22 of the present invention is mainly driven by the impact of the black tide current to rotate to generate electric energy, and the electric energy is transmitted toward the towing vehicle 3, except that It can be directly replenished into the battery of the towing vehicle 3, and can also be transmitted through its transmission cable 5 to the storage or electrical equipment on the island or land to be incorporated into the existing transmission system.
請參閱圖6，本發明之另一目的，是提供一種洋流發電系統，包含多數個前述之洋流發電機組1，每一洋流發電機組1所產生的電力皆是透過其傳輸纜線5傳輸至陸地上的儲電設備(或用電設備)。 Referring to FIG. 6, another object of the present invention is to provide a ocean current power generation system including a plurality of the aforementioned ocean current generator sets 1, and each of the power generated by the ocean current power generating unit 1 is transmitted to the land through its transmission cable 5. Storage equipment (or electrical equipment) on it.
以台灣地區為例，東部沿海於每年都有一方向為由南向北之黑潮洋流流過，且該黑潮洋流寬度約可達一百公里、長度達數百公里之譜，因此，可以於東部沿海之黑潮流域設置許多組洋流發電機組1，以提高整體的發電效率。 Taking Taiwan as an example, the eastern coast has a black tide current flowing from south to north every year, and the black tide current is about 100 kilometers wide and hundreds of kilometers long. Therefore, it can be Many groups of ocean current generating units 1 are installed in the black tidal currents of the eastern coast to improve overall power generation efficiency.
綜上所述，習知技術都是將擷取洋流動力的研究方向專注在海底下，因此實際實施時困難重重，同時，所發出的電還要透過建置海底電纜長程輸送，成本大增。本發明運用既成的拖曳載具3(例如船隻或海上平台)即可成功捕捉洋流動力，除了可以成功發電之外，電力的儲存與輸送可利用船隻運載輸送陸地使用，不會破壞海底生態，更具有方便維護與清理發電設備的優點，因此，可以為地球環境帶來巨大的減碳效果，是一種符合成本效益、真正潔淨且取用不盡的綠色能源。 In summary, the conventional technology focuses on the research direction of oceanic mobility, so the actual implementation is difficult. At the same time, the electricity generated is also transmitted through the long-distance transmission of the submarine cable, and the cost is greatly increased. The invention can successfully capture the ocean flow force by using the established towing vehicle 3 (for example, a ship or an offshore platform). In addition to the successful power generation, the storage and transportation of electricity can be carried by the ship for transporting the land without destroying the seabed ecology. It has the advantages of convenient maintenance and cleaning of power generation equipment. Therefore, it can bring huge carbon reduction effect to the global environment. It is a cost-effective, truly clean and inexhaustible green energy source.
除此之外，本發明利用該浮體單元4的設計，使得用來傳輸電力的傳輸纜線5可以固定於該浮體單元4的浮台41之中，不會直接漂浮於海面上或沉入於海中，當風浪過大時，由於傳輸纜線5受到固定，所以能夠有效避免傳輸纜線5被海潮拉扯而脫離的現象，可對該傳輸纜線5提供較佳的保護性。 In addition, the present invention utilizes the design of the floating body unit 4 such that the transmission cable 5 for transmitting electric power can be fixed in the floating platform 41 of the floating body unit 4, and does not directly float on the sea surface or sink. When entering the sea, when the wind wave is too large, since the transmission cable 5 is fixed, the transmission cable 5 can be effectively prevented from being pulled away by the tide, and the transmission cable 5 can be provided with better protection.
況且，上述浮台41之鋪設及收回，對比於使用大型混凝土沉箱，沉入海底並固著於海床上的方法，來得相對容易，可在短時間內完成，且工法成本較低。 Moreover, the laying and retracting of the above-mentioned floating platform 41 is relatively easy to use, and is relatively easy to complete, and can be completed in a short time, and the construction cost is low, compared with the method of using a large concrete caisson to sink into the sea floor and fix it on the seabed.
惟以上所述者，僅為本發明之較佳實施例而已，當不能以此限定本發明實施之範圍，即大凡依本發明申請專利範圍及發明說明內容所作之簡單的等效變化與修飾，皆仍屬本發明專利涵蓋之範圍內。 The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the scope of the invention is not limited thereto, that is, the simple equivalent changes and modifications made by the scope of the invention and the description of the invention are All remain within the scope of the invention patent.
