POWER PLANT Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: power engineering. SUBSTANCE: power plant has turbine mounted inside a housing connected to a rotatable air sucker through arc-like air ducts. A wind vane wind motor having a generator is mounted on the air sucker. The generator is connected to an electric machine provided with a tachogenerator which is mounted on the shaft of the machine. The power plant also has the top and bottom tanks filled with water and heat receiver mounted at the reflector focus. The heat receiver is connected with a pipe line provided with a steam turbine. A centrifugal controller is actuated when wind is enhanced and connects the turbine to the load and flywheel. In calm weather, the gates are set in operation and water is fed from the top tank to the turbine through water delivery pipes or the air ducts and rotates the turbine. In sunny wether, the steam turbine operates, and steam, generated in the heat receiver, is fed to the turbine through a pipe line. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency. 2 dwg
