Abstract:
A floating power generation station comprises a floating hull with a shelter structure containing photovoltaic solar panels are arranged on a chain of floats, each hinged one to the next. The system can be deployed onto a large flat area, e.g., surface of inlet or bay, where the solar panel chain(s) can be extended out. The power generation station may include air displacement tubes that have a lower end immersed in water, and which feed into a plenum where check valves direct air unidirectionally to an air turbine that powers an electric generator. Air turbines or wind turbines on the barge can be raised or tipped up for collection of wind energy. The captured energy is stored on a bank of on-board storage batteries. Energy can be collected and stored, and the barge can be brought to shore when and where needed. This arrangement can be configured for ground-based deployment. The power generation station can be configured for use on dry land.

Claim (Index 1):
A floating transportable energy collection and storage station, comprising:\n a floating barge or vessel configured to float on and travel along or across a body of water; an array of interconnected floating photovoltaic panels arranged in one or more chains of interconnected panels; a housing mounted upon said barge or vessel, including one or more tracks within the housing, each track being associated with a respective one of said one or more chains of interconnected panels, with said panels having portions fitting into said tracks such that the respective chain is guided into and along the track when the chain of interconnected panels is deployed out or redeployed back into the housing; and a mechanism for deploying said one or more chains of interconnected panels out from one side of said housing and onto a water surface of said body of water at the one side of said barge or vessel, and for redeploying or retracting said chain of interconnected panels back into its associated track within said housing.
