Sistema compacto de geração de energia elétrica

Abstract

The deficit of energy currently represents one of the biggest government challenges, since still there are a big number of low income communities and areas dependent on electricity with restrict access to electro-electronic gadgets such as TV set, refrigerator, and computer. This article aims to show the possibility of generating electricity generate combined with the production of frozen and/ or hot water, in localities where yet doesn’t exist electricity grid or any kind of source of alternative energy. This system is based on the standard air cycle called Brayton cycle and it consists of 4LGZ model BorgWarber turbo-charger set, a combustion chamber, a power turbine connected to the gas jet turbine of the turbo-charger, a heat exchanger, a water-amonia chiller, a electrical generator of 5kVA and a command panel for the automation and energy distribution. This system which uses either natural gas or LPG eventually will supply electricity produced in the generator, hot water obtained of the heat transfer of the combuston gases and frozen water from the chiller, having as hot source the gases coming from power system. The prototype is already being tested in laboratory showing interesting results.
