Development of Low-Carbon Energy Generation Technology with Greenhouse Gas Capture and Production of High-Purity Carbon Dioxide Complexes for the Food and Other Industrial Sectors

The project aims to develop low-carbon energy generation technology with greenhouse gas capture and the production of high-purity carbon dioxide for the food and other industrial sectors. The main idea is to create a domestic complex of technologies and equipment for decarbonizing emissions and extracting CO2 from flue gases, which optimizes technological processes and improves purification efficiency. As part of the project, the first energy center in Russia with zero CO2 emissions was brought into operation, utilizing gas piston units and CO2 capture systems, with a capacity of 22.8 MW of electrical energy. Since the launch of the energy center, 65,000 tons of CO2 and 283,300 MWh of low-carbon electricity have been produced.

Development of the Magnetic Levitation Control System (MLCS)

The Magnetic Levitation Control System (MLCS), developed using Russian materials and software, significantly enhances the operational reliability of gas turbines by increasing their efficiency and safety due to the absence of mechanical wear on bearings. The system has been successfully tested at the Gas Turbine Combined Heat and Power Plant in Yekaterinburg. Future plans include scaling the solution to replace equipment from foreign suppliers, ensuring independence from imports and reducing operational costs. The development of the MLCS opens new opportunities for creating advanced monoblocks and improving service maintenance for Russian enterprises.

Submersible Installation for Generating Clean Electricity

This innovative compact hydroelectric station (HES) harnesses energy from flowing water bodies by utilizing unique lattice-type propellers, significantly enhancing efficiency compared to existing analogs. The submersible generator includes a splitter, two propellers, and a generator housed in a triangular prism casing, where the working zones of the blades partially overlap to maximize energy capture from the water flow. This solution is ideally suited for mountain rivers, providing continuous and year-round power supply. The technology has high potential for application in remote areas and supports the development of environmentally friendly energy sources.

Pneumohydraulic Drive for Electric Generators

This development of a drive for electric generators boasts twice the efficiency compared to existing analogs by utilizing only compressed gas pressure to create torque. The drive is designed for electricity generation at gas fields, enabling the transfer of energy to gas pumping stations, thereby replacing internal combustion engines (ICEs) and gas turbine units (GTUs) with electric motors. This innovation could save approximately 45 billion cubic meters of gas annually and significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The uniqueness of this development lies in its unconventional method of generating torque, which ensures high efficiency without the need for pre-acceleration, idle running, or other mechanical processes.

Океанский или морской волновой прибрежный электрогенератор

Для питания автономных домов, а также различных объектов берегового оборудования и связи в удаленных, изолированных районах морского или океанского побережья целесообразно использовать волновую энергию в полосе прибоя. Особенно это касается полосы прибоя материковой части и островов Дальнего Востока. Автор изобретения предлагает достаточно простой, локальный волновой электрогенератор, в основе которого лежат современные композитные технологии и специально изготовленные низкооборотные генераторы. Генераторы запускаются через силовой рычаг только во время подъёма-прохождения волны, при спаде волны продолжают работу по инерции. Устройство постоянно ориентировано по направлению движения волн специальным килем и имеет кольцевой токосъёмник. Движущихся частей под водой нет.

Локальный вертикально-осевой ветровой электрогенератор

Современные генераторы электротока на редкоземельных элементах имеют ряд преимуществ: высокий КПД, низкие обороты, плоскую форму и др. Оптимальным же телом вращения является дискообразное тело с вертикальной осью по центру. Целью предлагаемого изобретения является создание новой, вертикально-осевой ветротурбины, ротор которой одновременно и является оптимальным телом вращения. Таким образом, ротор новой ветротурбины представляет из себя современный электрогенератор в качестве базы для лопастей и, в целом, имеет плоскую, дискообразную форму.
