Patent ID: 7246492

Claim:
An apparatus for progressive solar based power generating system including in combination: a solar collecting system to concentrate and to direct sun radiation; a steam generator are held in place with said solar collecting system for holding water and producing superheated steam, includes an internal vessel incorporated with an external vessel to form a chamber, an insulated material fills the vacuum section between the internal and external vessels to preserve the water temperature, and, a set of heating plates inserted in the steam generator with small parts of said plates exposed outside of said steam generator to absorb and convey concentrated heat from solar energy thereby inducing water temperature and produce superheated steam; a combustion chamber directly beneath the steam generator for maintaining the superheated steam production using biomass or natural gas when solar energy is unavailable or insufficient; a steam turbine and electric power generator positioned to receive steam from said steam generator for producing a mechanical rotary motion and converting the mechanical rotary motion into electricity; a condensation collector for collecting and condensing the remnant of steam after steam to electricity conversion; a water collecting system with filter for collecting and filtering rain or water from other sources; a reservoir attached to both the condensation collector and water collecting system for storing and releasing water collected from said condensation collector and water collecting system; a water turbine and electric power generator assembly positioned beneath said reservoir to receive water for producing a mechanical rotary motion, and converting the mechanical rotary motion into electricity; water-recycling tank for collecting the remaining water after hydroelectric energy conversion and redirecting the said remaining water to said steam generator as needed.
