GRAVITY-HYDRAULIC POWER PLANT AND METHOD FOR ELECTRIC POWER GENERATION Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC E02B9/00 

FIELD: energy.

SUBSTANCE: gravity-hydraulic power plant (GGE) consists of funnel, bellows, water turbine, and electric current generator. GGE funnel is installed in water at depth ∆ and is connected to lower adapter of water pipe in form of bellows, which is installed on GGE support and is connected with vertical water pipeline, which is connected from one side with lower adapter water pipe in form of siphon, with other side connected with upper adapter water pipe in form of bellows, which is hydraulically connected with water turbine, which is connected to electric current generator. Optimal conditions for stationary water head ∆H (m): external angle of inclination of the cone funnel α = 45°; h = R $$\Delta H=\frac{G^{″}}{S_{a^{\prime }-a^{\prime }}\gamma }=\frac{G^{″}}{\gamma \pi r^2}(m),$$ $$G^{″}=G-G^{\prime }=\gamma \frac{\pi h}{3}[R(R+r)-2r^2]{\cos }^2\alpha (kg),$$ where ∆H is optimal level of water, water weight to be extruded G^'' (m); S_a'-a' - cross-section at level of upper surface of funnel; S_a'-a' = πr² ; γ is specific weight of water equal to 1,000 (kg/m³); r is radius of lower funnel (m); G is weight of water in volume of funnel (kg); G^' is weight of round direct cylinder with height h (kg); h is height of funnel, h = R (m); R is radius of upper funnel (m); α is GGE funnel angle. Method of producing electric energy is performed by means of gravity-hydraulic power plant.

EFFECT: technical result consists in implementing by declared group of inventions its purposes.
