The essence of innovation
__________________
Amory Lovins (Rocky MT.University) foresaw that only an integral system of wind, solar energy and the heat of the Earth`s core transformers can create the competition to the traditional energy supply. This idea we embodied with system «Infinite Power» on the "Red Lake" resort (Saint-Petersburg).
How to get more energy from the wind generator in the system, than from a stand-alone mode?
A diagram is illustrating the operation of the «Infinite Power» wind generator included in the system. In our case, the wind energy is used not only for household consumption and charging of electric accumulators, but also for the preparation of hot water, heating of the heat accumulator and power of the heat pump. The entire lilac part of the diagram is an additional useful energy.
The blue area is an additional amount of energy from the wind turbine in the Infinite Power system, the yellow area is the amount of energy in single work.

Constructive modifications of the wind turbine: development of mechanical components with high efficiency
In our wind generator, for the first time in the world, has been designed and applied a multiplier using wave transmission (the traditional ones use a gear transmission). The use of wave transmission increases efficiency and endurance.
We have also created a blade rotation device, which has been specially developed to adjust the operating efficiency at
different wind loads.

How to get more energy from solar collector in the system than from a stand-alone mode?
Solar collector in the system converts more energy, because the heat energy is constantly evacuating by a heat pump, which increases the temperature gradient and distributes for hot water, warm floors, charging the thermal battery.

system, than from a stand-alone mode?
Typically, the energy source for the heat pump is low potential earth heat (4 - 5 ° C). In our system, the heat pump also receives energy from additional sources, namely: the heat recovery of waste water, the solar collector and the residual heat of the thermal battery.
The scheme of the «Infinite Power» system, which increases the efficiency of all transformers of renewable energy
Integration of solar, wind and earth heat renewable
energy transformers is capable to increase the
efficiency of each of them. Which is obligatory to
decrease the cost of kilowatthours of energy.
Main conclusions
Improving the efficiency of energy conversion from renewable energy will reduce the cost of a kilowatt-hour of energy.
This fact will be assessed in absolute terms after the end of the annual monitoring of the system in the experimental prototype.
