Power Scenario
INTRODUCTION
Wind From The Sun is a new technology for
obtaining power from the sun and wind.
This hybrid system turns the sun's light into
heat, then uses that heat to create a wind
within a horizontal large-diameter pipe.
The wind inside the pipe is converted into
electric power using a series of wind turbines.
Provides a greater degree of control and
predictability.
SOLAR COLLECTOR
MATERIAL
converts the energy from sunlight into heat.
Must have low reflectivity, dark color.
Does not need to have high thermal mass.
Increase in temperature drives the entire
system.
Made of black ceramic gravel.
The higher the temperature of the collector,
wind power the system can generate.
SIZE
:Optimum size depends on a number of factors .
It is similar to solar chimney power plant.
Solar chimney power plant-solar collector-.
4000m (dia) & 1500m high-600GWH/year
A wind from sun power plant is best located in
regions receiving 2300KWH/m2/year.
Energy of the system is given by multiplying
area by amount of solar radiation.
Sufficient increasing area results in increased
power output
TEMPERATURE
Must be hotter than the surrounding land.
For sea-breeze difference is 100C wind speed
is 12m/s.
Hotter towards the centre & cooler towards the
perimeter. Large collector has fewer
perimeters/unit area.
AIR MOVEMENT
HOT AIR RISES:
No. of factors makes the rising column
narrower.
The collector is hotter in its centre making the
air hotter & rises faster.
The hotter air towards the centre rises faster
than that over the perimeter.
The rising air at the centre meets with least
resistance.
AIR CHANNELS
Air moves from high pressure to low pressure,
creating a wind within the pipe.
The amount of wind power generated by this
system depends on the air pressure difference
from the center of the collector to the
surrounding land.
The sun is higher in the sky and gives more
sunlight in the summer than in the winter.
WIND TURBINES
CONCLUSION
This type of system produce power
Air must move from high to low pressure
through the air channel & wind turbines.
Has not been built & tested to determine how
much power will be produced.
Alternate Design: to increase efficiency, place
air channel so that one end is over a large body
of water. The water will be much cooler than
the collector and will increase the air pressure
difference along the air channel.
