Technical Field
The present invention relates to a system for generating electrical energy compr
ising an electrical generator coupled to an electric motor, controlled by a freq
uency converter-means comprising a shaft conforms or at least a solid concentric
.
Description of the Related Art
The conventional generators and alternators need at least a combustion engine co
upled to its operation in rotation and torque to generate electricity. In order
exemplary document PI9102642-3 autoexcitado describes a synchronous generator mo
tor injected copper or aluminum. Such generators are used coupled to an internal
combustion engine having means which allow the generator to operate at the most
appropriate speed range of the engine.
Currently, the known generators to generate electricity at a desired frequency g
enerally behave the rotation set, ie 1800 rpm 60 Hz, 1500 rpm 50 Hz These conven
tional generators and alternators have a high energy consumption at the time of
starting and consumption energy elava considerably.
The generators are devices for the production of electricity, alternative source
s of energy, and exist in various forms and types. The different types of genera
tors include, for example, electric generators, portable wind generators, emerge
ncy generators and RV generators. Each type has a specific function and can be f
ed, for example, propane gas, gasoline, natural gas and diesel. All these forms
of energy are used as initial force to fuel generators, contributing to global w
arming and harm the environment.
A fully electric generator does not pollute. However, when using an electric mot
or, engine power is greater than the power of the generator. Thus, the energy ge
nerator to generate power through electrical alternator electric motor is greate
r than the power to be generated, to produce because the pulling force would req
uire the motor to consume more power that the generator generates.
Summary of the Invention
The present invention relates to a system for generating electricity comprising
a frequency inverter three phase, three-phase electric motor, alternator and a g
enerator includes a shaft that conforms or at least a solid concentrically dispo
sed between the electric motor and generator. Such elements, properly arranged,
allow the set to operate in rotation and traction force appropriate to the opera
tion of the electric motor, which drives the generator to saving energy consumpt
ion for generation without considerable loss of power output and current output.
Obietivos the Invention
In view of the problems described, and in order to overcome them, we propose a s
ystem to generate electricity that is powered by electricity.
The cost of power generation is less than the cost of generating combustion, can
generate benefits for medium and large consumers, reducing operating cost throu
gh energy savings.
Moreover, when it generates a large amount of electricity from low electricity c
onsumption, contributes to the environment and reduces the cost of generation.
The cost of generation is reduced due to the replacement of the combustion engin
e by an electric motor. Thus, the energy consumption to be provided by the initi
al source that feeds the engine is electricity.
The objectives of the present invention are achieved by a system for generating
electricity using an axle or conforms includes at least a solid mass concentric
with appropriate that, in turn, due to the transfer of inertia of its mass in di
splacement rotation kinetic energy generated by a centrifugal force, increasing
the engine speed. Thus, the motor is replaced by the pull force required to move
the generator shaft connected to a load.
The system of generating electrical energy comprises a frequency converter conne
cted to an electric motor for controlling rotation of the motor, alternator and
generator connected to the electric motor via a shaft which includes at least on
e or conforms solid structure concentrically disposed between the altemador elec
tric motor and generator, the mass of the shaft that includes or conforms at lea
st a solid concentric proportional to power the electric motor.
The proper rotation is defined as a generator voltage and frequency. To obtain t
he proper rotation is required inverter frequency as the engine speed low or hig
h speed for the proper rotation of the generator.
Thus, the engine power can be up to four times smaller than the electric power g
enerator. Thus, although the engine being inferior to the generator, the consump
tion of electricity consumed by the engine to generate drops considerably, ie, i
s consumed little power and generates a lot of electricity.
Furthermore, the voltage and number of phases of the motor and generator may be
identical or different.
The power generation system of the present invention allows the use of an electr
ic motor coupled by a shaft conforms or that includes at least one solid structu
re concentric to an electric generator alternator. The electrical generator star
ts to generate electricity with low power consumption, since consumption of the
motor becomes smaller, consuming a smaller amount of initial energy source to ro
tate the generator shaft.
The advantage of the electric motor generator alternator of the present inventio
n in relation to other existing generators alternators is the generation of elec
tricity with low power consumption to perform work rotation of three-phase gener
ator.
The system of power generation is easy to use, as it features a compact structur
e. The mounting base is light, since the motor is lightweight and does not use a
ny type of tank liquid or gaseous fuel.
The system for generation of electricity is silent because the engine and genera
tor are electric, and also because the axis that includes conforms or at least a
solid concentric produces no noise, since it does not suffer intense friction.
The present invention will be described below with the aid of drawings, but whic
h are not absolutely limiting where it can be observed other details and advanta
ges of the present invention.
Brief Description of the Drawings

resent invention.
Detailed Description of the Drawings
Figure 1 shows a system for generating electricity comprising a three-phase inve
rter frequency 1 connected to a three phase electric motor high speed (2) and a
three-phase alternator generator 8.
The system further comprises a shaft conforms or 4.1 that includes at least a so
lid frame 7 concentrically disposed between the motor 2 and the generator 8 to g
enerate a tensile force required to decrease energy consumption while maintainin
g, in whole or in part, the tensile strength of the electrical alternators gener
ators provided by the electric motor.
The solid structure concentric 7 may have a variety of shapes, such as square, r
ectangular, hexagonal, round, spherical, oval, and star and others.
In a preferred embodiment, the shaft conforms or comprising at least a solid con
centric 7 as well as the very solid structure concentric 7 are constructed of re
silient metal, the latter of which has a rounded shape of a wheel.
As can be seen in Figure 1, the system further comprises a metal shaft connectin
g the motor 2 4.1 generator 8 couplings 3.1 and 3.2 which are used to secure the
second motor shaft 7 to the wheel axis and the wheel axis 7 generator shaft 8:0
1 support base and fastening the equipment (9).
The masses 4.1 shaft and concentric solid structure 7 are proportional to the po
wer of the engine 2, and the mass of the solid structure concentric 7 must be se
ven to nine times the mass of the shaft 4.1, more preferably eight times, most p
referably nine times. Thus, each horsepower - CV of the electric motor 2, the su
m of the masses of 4.1 shaft and concentric solid structure 7 must be between 5
Kg and 15 Kg per unit of horsepower electric motor (2) more preferably between 8
kg to 12 kg, even more preferably 10 kg
Thus for a 5 HP motor 2, the sum of the masses of solid structure concentric sha
ft 7 and the metal should be 4.1 to about 50 pounds. Whereas the mass of the met
al shaft 4.1 is about 1 kg per VC, the mass of the solid structure 7 is concentr
ic about 9 kg per CV.
The generator phase altemador 8 provides energy savings to be consumed in work f
or the generation of electricity, and can be configured with the power of 10 KVA
to 300 KVA in single phase, two phase or three phase, and may be above or below
these powers.
In a preferred embodiment, the system uses an electric motor 2 high-spin to work
in low speed. The inverter controls the rotation of the motor 2 rotation and to
achieve the ideal frequency of the system which are determined by obeying the s
peed and frequency of the generator 8, which can be 50 Hz or 60 Hz, depending on
the desired tension. Only when the system reaches the optimum tension is that e
nergy is released for consumption by an electrical control connected to the outp
ut of the generator 8, or the control only releases energy when the generator 8
reach the rotation, frequency and voltage suitable for power loads, avoiding und
er-and overvoltage.
In fixing the axle bearing is used 4.1 6.1 and 6.2 5.1 and bearing 5.2. The shaf
t weighs about 4.1 kg per 1 HP / HP in relation to the engine power, so there is
a transfer of adequate inertia.
In a preferred embodiment, the metal wheel 7 weighs about 9 kg per hp / HP in re
lation to power the electric motor so that there is adequate transfer of inertia
.
In the preferred embodiment, the electric motor can be of direct current or alte
rnating current and is controlled by a frequency inverter 1, which reduces power
consumption when starting the engine and controls the rotation of generation (w
hich may be substituted by any other similar equipment with the power of 10 KVA
to 300 KVA, single phase, two phase or three phase).
In a second preferred embodiment, the generator (8) has a power of 10 KVA to 300
KVA.
Having described examples of preferred embodiments, it should be understood that
the scope of the present invention encompasses other possible variations, being
limited solely by the terms of the appended claims, including therein the possi
ble equivalents.
