Abstract:
1. An energy accumulator and rectifier equipment which enables the optimization of plant factors associated with renewable energy generating facilities, which are affected due to irregularities in the energy availability form natural resources, wherein such equipment comprises a storage tank or compressed air accumulator which is fed from air flows from apparatuses which transform renewable energy into compressed air and convey it to such accumulator to deliver it on a continuous basis; a series of vertical tubes (cylinders) filled with non compressible fluid so that it can displace movable elements, forming a group; each group is in connection with another similar group at both the upper level and the lower level by means of a fluid circulation pipes and by means of a pipe of smaller diameter, at the upper and lower portion, for air circulation; the fluid circulation pipes of every group are attached to a common pipe at the upper level which conveys the fluid toward a turbine-generator to produce electricity and a common pipe at the lower level to recirculate fluid toward the cylinders.
