The present invention relates to a solar power generation system, and more particularly, to a smart solar power generation system having a structure capable of constructing a facility of solar power generation with high efficiency of power generation while minimizing environmental destruction.
Generally, a solar power generation system is constructed in the form of a complex, as a plurality of solar panels is aggregated on a site such as a forestland, a fallow land, a building roof, a reservoir, a salt farm or the like.
When the solar power generation site is a forestland, a farmland or the like, frame structures and solar panels should be installed after a rearrangement work on the site is completed by performing a logging or civil engineering work, and therefore, an environmental destruction problem of damaging the trees and soil on a large scale inevitably occurs. Due to these side effects, it is not easy in reality to use a forestland or the like as a solar power generation site although it satisfies the conditions of location required for solar power generation.
Korean Laid-opened Patent Publication No. 2011-0024887 discloses a self-loading type solar power generation device that can be installed on a place such as a rooftop of a building or a bank in a non-destructive manner. The self-loading type solar power generation device includes a pillar assembly formed by successively connecting one or more pillars, and light collecting plate coupled on the top of the pillar assembly, and the pillars are provided with an inclined surface on the top surface and a filler accommodation space for accommodating a filler material inside thereof.
Korean Laid-opened. Patent Publication No. 2016-0086729 relates to method of installing a solar module without occupying farmlands, and discloses a solar module and a method thereof, in which the solar module is installed in farmland provided with a lower support, an installation fixing frame, and a support frame to easily install the solar module on the farmland during an off farming season after harvest is over. In addition, Korean Laid-opened. Patent Publication No. 2016-0086729 discloses a solar module having a structure, in which a plurality of easy-to-install solar modules is provided to be stacked by connecting an installation fixing frame of an easy-to-install solar module to one side of a protection frame of another easy-to-install solar module using a hinge means so that the solar modules may be spread and installed when they are used.
However, since an area occupied by the frame structures hat support solar panels is large, the conventional solar power generation system still has the problem of seriously damaging the nature during the construction, and therefore, an alternative thereto is required.

However, due to the nature of CCTV cameras and lighting lamps of being installed in a high place, there is a problem of deteriorating the functions accumulation of dust or changes of external environments such as wind or the like when they are used for long period time. In addition, when the CCTV cameras or the lighting lamps are to be repaired or cleaned, it needs to rent and use expensive equipment such as high place ladder trucks, cargo cranes or the like, and thus the maintenance cost is high, and the traffic can be obstructed as the equipment occupies driveways.
When a pedestrian or the like approaches the CCTV camera's monitoring area at night, the CCTV cameras and the lighting facilities perform an operation of capturing the subject as the lighting lamps are automatically turned on and the CCTV cameras operate at the same time as the pedestrian is detected by detection sensors installed in the CCTV cameras.
However, when the pedestrian goes out of the detection range of the detection sensors and moves to the opposite side of the utility pole, there occurs a problem with the lighting lamps and the cameras not working properly as the pedestrian is covered by the utility pole itself and approach of the pedestrian is not detected by the detection sensors, and therefore, countermeasure thereof is required.

Referring to
The pole 10 is erected vertically and installed as the bottom is fixed on the top of the weight block 70 by fastening means such as anchor bolts. Preferably, the pole 10 may be made of a metal tubular body having a round outer circumferential surface like a conventional street lamp post, and may be configured of various other materials in various forms.
When the solar power generation site is a place where trees are planted, such as a mountain, a forestland, a fallow land or the like, a plurality of poles 10 may he arranged to be spaced apart from each other at predetermined intervals so that trees may be placed around the poles when a solar power generation system is constructed. In addition, various places such as a place around a factory, a residential area, a place around a park or the like may be employed as a solar power generation site to which the present invention can be applied, as far as only a small empty space can be secured to bury one or more weight blocks 70 and stand poles 10 on the weight blocks 70.
The solar panel 20 is installed on the top or the pole and generates solar electricity. The solar panel 20 is mounted on a support plate (31 in
The rotating device 30 is installed on the top of the pole 10 to provide rotational force to the solar panel 20. As shown in
The first tubular body 33 is a pipe-shaped structure with the support plate 31 positioned on the top surface and having a circular circumferential surface. The first tubular body 33 and the support plate 31 may be configured in one piece, or alternatively, the support plate 31 may be integrated on the top of the first tubular body 33 by welding.
The second tubular body 34 is a pipe-shaped structure that is assembled to be positioned on the bottom of the first tubular body 33 and has a circular circumferential surface. A circular slot into which the upper pipe structure of the pole 10 can be inserted may be added to the lower end of the second tubular body 34. As the pole is inserted into the hollow, the second tubular body 34 is fixed on the to of the pole 10.
A predetermined bearing may be interposed between the first tubular body 33 and the second tubular body 34. The bearing includes an upper ring connected to the first tubular body 33 to integrally rotate, and a lower ring assembled under the upper ring to be connected to the second tubular body 34, and a plurality of balls may be interposed between the upper ring and the lower ring. In addition, gear teeth are formed along the periphery of the upper ring or e lower ring, and the driving motor provides rotational force to the first tubular body 33 through a predetermined gear that can be engaged with the gear teeth.
As shown in
Alternatively, as shown in
As shown in
The rotating gear 62 is installed to receive the rotational force from the driving motor 35 to be relatively rotatable with respect to the fixed gear 61. The rotating gear 62 and the fixed gear 61 may be configured of various known gear assemblies.
The driving motor 35 is fixed inside second tubular body 34 preferably to be erected to have the same axis with the second tubular body 34, and provides rotational force to the rotating gear 62.
The rotation count plate 63 is fixed on the bottom of the rotating gear 62 to rotate together with the rotating gear 62, and an uneven pattern configured of a valley (or groove) and ridge (or protrusion) structure is formed on the bottom at regular intervals in a circumferential direction.
One side of the limit switch 60 is fixed to the fixed gear 61 and the other side is in contact with the rotation count plate 63 to continuously maintain a contact state with the uneven pattern at the same time as the rotation count plate 63 rotates. Accordingly, as the rotation count plate 63 rotates, an on/off signal is repeatedly output from the limit switch 60.
Additionally, a base plate (not shown) having an inclination angle that is set to correspond to the latitude of the installation area may be inserted between the solar panel 20 and the rotating device 30. Owing to the base plate, it is possible operate by setting the inclination angle of the solar panel 20 to be different for each region of a different latitude.
The microcomputer 40 includes a rotation control unit 41 for determining a daily rotation amount of the solar panel 20 based on an illuminance sensor 50, a seasonal rotation set time, and GPS time information provided. by a satellite communication module, and performing rotation control by applying the daily rotation amount to on/off control of the driving motor 35. The microcomputer 40 may be embedded in the rotating device 30 or the pole 10, or may be embedded in a separate enclosure.
The microcomputer 40 recognizes that the day has dawned when the illuminance value of sunlight output from the illuminance sensor 50 exceeds a predetermined value, and operates the driving motor 35 to slowly rotate the solar panel 20 in one direction in seconds for a preset rotation step and/or time. It is preferable that the path through which the solar panel 20 rotates is set to sufficiently expose the solar panel 20 to the sun as much as possible in consideration of the amount of sunlight of the sun. When the solar panel 20 rotates at a predetermined speed for a set period of time, the amount of solar power generation can be increased compared with a case of placing the solar panel 20 in a stationary state to face one side, although a solar tracking device of a complicated structure is not separately used.
Specifically, the rotation control unit 41 of the microcomputer 40 performs a first rotation mode of generating solar electricity while rotating the solar panel 20 at a predetermined speed immediately before or after sunrise. In addition, during sunset, immediately after sunset, or immediately before sunrise, the microcomputer 40 performs a second rotation mode of moving the solar panel 20 to the rotation start position of the next day by rotating the solar panel 20 so that the top surface of the solar panel 20 faces east using residual electricity output from the solar panel 20 at sunset or sunrise. To this end, data on the first rotation mode and the second rotation mode are stored. in the memory 42 of the microcomputer 40.
At sunset or sunrise, the microcomputer 40 performs the second rotation mode of moving the solar panel 20 to the rotation start position of the next day by rotating the solar panel 20 so that the top surface of the solar panel 20 faces east using residual electricity output from the solar panel 20. Here, the ‘residual electricity’ refers to residual electricity produced by the solar panel 20 but not transmitted to a power company since the electricity does not reach a predetermined power level. The residual electricity is generated by a small amount of sunlight directly or indirectly received by the solar panel 20 at sunset or sunrise. The ‘rotation start position’ refers to a position at which rotation of the solar panel 20 begins again the next day after sunset.
In the present invention, control of rotating and moving the rotating device 30 to the rotation start position where the first rotation mode begins is performed using the small amount of residual electricity. For example, when the solar panel 20 ends generation pf power at predetermined position facing west immediately after sunset (when transmission of power to the power company is stopped), the microcomputer 40 performs control of driving the rotating device 30 to slowly rotate the solar panel 20 in the east direction to be placed at the rotation start position using the residual electricity output from the solar panel 20.
When the first contact points 36a and 36b and the second contact points 38a and 38b are provided to transfer power and/or signals between the first tubular body 33 and the second tubular body 34, it is preferable that the operation of rotating the solar panel 20 in the east direction is the same direction as the rotation direction of the solar panel 20 in the first rotation mode. On the other hand, when the electric wire 39 for transferring power and/or signals is connected between the first tubular body 33 and the second tubular body 34, the operation of rotating the solar panel 20 in the east direction is set in a direction opposite to the rotation direction of the solar panel in the first rotation mode to prevent the electric wire 39 from being twisted.
The microcomputer 40 drives and detects rotation of the solar panel 20 in steps from the operation of the limit switch 60 that is turned on/off by the change in the uneven pattern according to rotation of the rotation count plate 63. Here, a first step of rotation of the solar panel 20 may be defined as one cycle of the rotation count plate 63, i.e., by counting contact of the limit switch 60 with the next groove after contacting any one groove included in the uneven pattern.
That is, the microcomputer 40 may control the daily rotation amount (rotation angle) of the solar panel 20 to be different by setting the number of rotation steps to be different for each season. When the amount of sunlight of each season is considered, it desirable to perform the rotation control by setting the number rotation steps to be the largest in summer (set to rotate the most) and the smallest in winter (set to rotate the least) among four seasons. Specifically, the microcomputer 40 performs the rotation control by setting the number of rotation steps of the rotation count plate 63 to 1 to 11 steps in spring/fall, 0 to 12 steps in summer, and 2 to 10 steps in winter. To this end, data on a rotation step setting value is stored in the memory 42 of the microcomputer 40.
The main controller 80 communicates with the microcomputer 40 in a wired and wireless manner to control all solar panels 20 to rotate in substantially the same pattern managing solar panels 20 and rotating devices 30 different from each other in an integrated manner.
Additionally, the main controller 80 detects wind direction when it rains and controls the solar panel 20 rotate in a direction facing raindrops. That is, as the surface of the solar panel 20 is directly exposed to the raindrops, fine dust or foreign materials accumulated on the surface of the solar panel 20 can be effectively removed.
The weight block 70 is made of a concrete block formed by inserting reinforcing bars of a predetermined length and pouring concrete to support the pole 10. When the construction is completed, the weight block 70 is buried under the soil ground of the solar power generation site. The weight block 70 is provided to one-to-one correspond to a plurality of poles constituting the solar power generation system, and is connected to the bottom of the pole 10.
A pile stuck in the soil to fix the weight block 70 is connected to the bottom of the weight block 70 to prevent the pole 10 from being pulled out by strong wind or the like. In addition, an anchor bolt for fixing the pole 10 is provided on the top surface of the weight block 70.
Although a solar tracking device of a complicated structure is not separately used, the present invention having the configuration as described above may increase the amount of solar power generation compared with a case of placing the solar panel 20 in a stationary sate to face one side, by slowly rotating the solar panel 20 at a predetermined speed using the driving motor 35 while generating solar electricity.
In addition, as the solar panel 20 is rotated toward the east and moved to the rotation start position at sunset or sunrise using residual electricity output from the solar panel so that solar Power generation is performed at a correct position immediately after sunrise the next there is a remarkable effect improving the efficiency of power generation.
On the other hand, in the present invention, since trees around the pole 10 supporting the solar panel 20 can be maintained as they are, an eco-friendly facility of solar power generation can be constructed while minimizing damage to the nature. Since the trees around the pole 10 may also function as a windbreak forest, the solar panel 20 can be installed more stably.
When the system is constructed, the construction is easily completed by igging a predetermined hole at each point where the pole 10 will be installed, burying and fixing the weight block 70, and placing and fixing, the bottom of the pole 10 on the top of the weight block 70 using anchor bolts.
During the operation of the smart solar power generation system, as the solar panel 20 rotates in one direction at a preset time and speed by the rotating device 30, the amount of solar power generation can be increased.
The rotating device 30 rotates the solar panel 20 fixed to the support plate 31 of the first tubular body 33 by transferring rotational force of the driving motor 35 to the rotating gear 62 and rotating the first tubular body 33. The first tubular body 33 rotates with respect to the second tubular body 34 fixed to the pole while stably supporting the solar panel 20. As a predetermined bearing is interposed between the first tubular body 33 and the second tubular body 34, structurally stable and smooth rotation can be achieved.
As the rotation count late 63 is fixed on the bottom of the rotating gear 62 and integrally rotates with the rotating gear 62 and the limit switch 60 is continuously in contact with the bottom of the rotation count plate 63 and detects the uneven pattern of the rotation count plate 63, the amount of rotation may be detected in steps. The microcomputer 40 drives rotation of the solar panel 20 in steps from the operation of the limit switch 60, which is turned on/off by a change in the uneven pattern according to rotation of the rotation count plate 63, and also detects whether the solar panel 20 rotates in seconds without an error, and then reflects this in the control operation.
As described above, the smart solar power generation system according to the present invention may improve efficiency of solar power generation by setting the solar panel to the rotation start point in advance using residual electric generated by the solar panel at sunset or sunrise.
In addition, as the construction is simple, the range of choices for the solar power generation site is wide, and as the weight block 70 for fixing the pole is installed to be locally buried for each pole, an eco-friendly facility of solar power generation can be constructed while minimizing environmental destruction. Particularly, when the solar power generation site is a mountain or a forestland, damage to the nature can be minimized as the trees around pole that supports the solar panel can be maintained as they are.
