Powersystem example build

This page is in progress

Here i you can see my Creative World, i have created with the ELN-Mod

Overview

1. power plant with solar panels, wind turbines and water turbines
2. more wind turbines and water collector
3. village
4. Gasturbine powerplant (not attached to power system at the moment)
5. desert village

Power plant renewable energy

According to 1. in the Overview image

This is the Power plant that produces 100% green energy, it contains some batteries to compensate power fluctuations caused by the weather and the day/night cycle.

Solar power

4 Solar panels in series are needed to get the same voltage as the wind turbines and water turbines.

I made a daylight controlled grounding for the Solarpanels,
because they had day and night the same voltage. Dont forget to add a diode to prevent current flow from the powersystem back to the ground.

I used a Resistor of 56Ω.

Wind power

Wind turbines


The Building for the Wind power, it has an anemometer above it to measure the wind speed.


Inside the Building i have Data loggers for power, voltage, current and wind speed.
Grounding makes here no sense, because the wind blows day and night

Water power

According to 2. in the Overview image

Here the Water for the Water turbines gets collected, this is not necessary for the Turbines to work, but it looks nicer.
above there are more Wind turbines.


Now let's look inside the Waterpowerhouse.


Here i have some Data loggers too.


The lights are fed with a extra water turbine and batteries, to have light even when the Power plant is down.
The Batteries are located downstairs, where the Transformer and the Grounding for the Turbines are located too.


This Resistor has 180Ω, when i close the water inflow. A relay closes and connect the Waterturbines to the ground.

Batteries

Because renewable energies hasn't the same power all the time, day night cycle, wind speed, more or less water.
I built a little battery bank to compensate these differences.



There are 40 Life oriented batteries, you can see the setup in the pictures below

Transformer Station

To provide the produced power, a Transformer Station is needed.
Here the voltage is transformed up to 13kV, and fed in the Power lines

Villages

According to 3. and 5. in the Overview image


The Power lines from above with the Power plant (1. from overview) at the right side, and the Village (3. from overview) at the left side.


The desert Village (5. from overview)

Build it for yourself

Here comes a step by step image tutorial how to make a power system.
