FIELD: energy conversion.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a hydro-pneumatic power system for converting the kinetic energy of sea waves into electricity. The system contains construction and pneumatic power modules 2 and 10, respectively. Modules 2 are connected to each other in a line along the shore 9 of an open reservoir or sea. Modules 10 are fixed inside modules 2. In each module 10 there is a housing 11 with rectangular guide walls 12 and a head part 13 connected to each other. Inside the housing 11, a working body consisting of a shutter 14 is placed with the formation of a compression chamber. Under the shutter 14 is the wave reception zone 18. The atmospheric intake valve 19 and the exhaust valve 20 are mounted in part 13. The working bodies are pneumatic pumps. The working fluid from the compression chamber passes through the pipeline 21 under pressure into the air storage tank 22, located on the shore 9 to accumulate the air working fluid coming from all modules 10. From the tank 22, the working fluid continuously flows through a pipeline to the pneumatic motor 25 to rotate the shaft 26 of the rotor of the electric generator 27, which generates electrical energy.
EFFECT: invention is aimed at ensuring the production of compressed air and pumping it into a storage tank for the production of electricity.
