Patent number: 10509386Abstract: The present invention is a method for the control of power ramp-rates minimizing energy storage requirements in intermittent power generation plants, such as for example a photovoltaic solar plant, which minimizes the energy storage requirements approximately halving the size of storage systems necessary to comply with a maximum allowable ramp-rate given by a grid code regulation regarding the state of the art, reducing thus investment costs in the plant and/or carrying out a rationalized use of the energy storage system, in such a way that in order to achieve the same maximum fluctuation ramp, a minor use is done of the energy storage system, minimizing the losses and extending its working life, and therefore reducing the plant operational costs.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2015Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Assignee: ACCIONA ENERGIA, S.A.Inventors: Eugenio Guelbenzu Michelena, Asun Padros Razquin, Daniel Rabal Echeverria, Luis Marroyo Palomo, Javier Marcos Alvarez, Iñigo De La Parra Laita, Miguel Garcia Solano

Patent number: 9771652Abstract: A method for passivating a metal surface including, generating an atmospheric plasma beam by electrical discharge in a working gas, introducing an acid-containing passivating agent into the plasma beam, applying the plasma beam containing the passivating agent to the metal surface, and depositing a passivating salt on the metal surface by a reaction between the acid-containing passivating agent and the metal surface. This method simplifies the process for passivating a metal surface and renders it more effective.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2013Date of Patent: September 26, 2017Assignee: PlasmaTreat GmbHInventors: Christian Buske, Maria Carmen Artal Lahoz, Andres Escartin Barduzal, Francisco Javier Ester Sola, Francisco Javier Marco Lostao, Elena Martinez Solanas, Jose Ignacio Pena Torre, Fernando Planas Layunta

Patent number: 8930035Abstract: A process for simultaneously providing capacity sale services (e.g. frequency regulation or voltage regulation), energy sale services (energy transfer from off-peak hours to peak hours), and stabilization services of a renewable plant may be provided. The process includes determining the values of energy quantity to be produced by the plant during a near future time interval. The process may also include introducing the values of energy quantity, in the control unit. Generating an hourly program of energy supply to be provided by the energy accumulator unit to the network may also be performed, depending on the values of energy to be produced, which stabilizes the power supplied by the plant to the network. Furthermore, the frequency and the voltage of the network may be regulated as well as transfers the energy between off-peak hours and peak hours, or from hours with saturation of the network to hours without saturation.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2011Date of Patent: January 6, 2015Assignee: Acciona Energia, S.A.Inventors: Luis Marroyo Palomo, Javier Marcos Álvarez, María Asunción Padros Razquin, Daniel Rabal Echeverria, David Cuesta Lerín, Iñigo Berazaluce Minondo, Christopher Walti
