Inventor: HILLSDON REGINALD HAROLD
IPC: B64F1/04
Filed: 2000-02-08
Abstract: A method of launching inflatable airship apparatus (3) for subsequent ascent to high altitude for operation as an airship having a hull (4) formed from an inflated flexible gas containment envelope (5), payload (15), drive motor (6) mounted at the stern of the hull and cables (26,27), for supporting the payload (15) within the hull (4), connected to the drive motor (6) and to the hull at, or adjacent to, a nose portion of the hull. The method comprises partially inflating the gas containment envelope (5) with a lighter than air gaseous medium to cause the nose portion to rise within a vertical launch enclosure (10) to position the partially inflated gas containment envelope (5) in a launch position, and subsequently releasing the partially inflated gas containment envelope (5) from its launch position through an open top of the vertical enclosure so that the envelope ascends clear of the vertical enclosure (10) and lifts the payload means (15) and drive motor (6) by means of the cables. The invention also relates to inflatable airship apparatus (3) and to a launch station (2) for launching inflatable airship apparatus.

Title: Method for optimally operating co-generation of electricity and heat and optimally operating district heating power plant
Inventor: VIKSTROM GORAN
IPC: F01K17/02
Filed: 2000-02-24
Abstract: A method for optimally operating co-generation of electricity and heat in which the district heating power range is divided to a lower range and a higher range is characterized in that base load electricity and regulation electricity are produced with a steam turbine operating like a condensing turbine; the lower heating power range (B) is produced mainly by heat pumps using the energy of the exhaust steam of the turbine as an energy source; peak-load power and wintertime regulation electricity are produced with a peak-load engine; and the higher heating power range (A3, A4) is produced partially by heat pumps using said energy as the energy source and partially by the exhaust gas heat of said peak-load engine. Both the electricity and the heat are produced with a remarkably higher fuel utilization rate and significantly more electricity in relation to heat is produced than with conventional district heating power plants. The invention concerns also an optimally operating district heating power plant realizing the above method. At the initial stage of the operation of the district heating power plant, the district heating load being partial, a bigger amount of electricity may be produced of a fuel unit than at the final stage of the operation with a full district heating load. Extra peak power at short notice may be produced with the peak-load engine with a better fuel utilization rate than with the previously known solutions.
