Local climate change and climate stations
Designing
of an experimental hydro technical station of a local climate change or changes
in ambient temperature in a limited open area of up to several tens of square
kilometers.
1.
Introduction
Today, a Man has the
opportunity of uncontrolled influence on the environment and climate, both
globally and locally. In general, such changes are associated with various ways
of obtaining energy generated for the operation of human civilization
Nuclear power station. Hydroelectric power
station.
Deforestation. The results of ameliorators’
work.
Agriculture, deforestation
around the world and other inconsiderate activities of mankind have a role to
play in this.
But a Man can not ensure a
positive change in the climate or only the temperature conditions of his
existence yet, except for air conditioning of premises, and even in this case
so much energy is spent on it that its reproduction only aggravates the
situation in general.
2. The relevance of the
project
It will be natural to assume
that the possibility of controlled local climate change or even just
temperature conditions will be positively accepted by mankind or by the
inhabitants of individual countries or cities.
This may apply to both areas
with a cold climate, where an increase in the ambient temperature is required,
and to zones with an extremely warm climate, where a reduction in temperature
is required.
In this project we are
considering just the second option - the possibility of lowering the ambient
temperature by up to 20-25 degrees and in the territory up to several tens of
square kilometers.
The possibility of solving
this problem will be relevant for various countries that are located in lowland,
in dry and hot climate zone, at latitudes up to 40 degrees astride the equator.
This is particularly relevant for such countries as Kuwait ,
Qatar , the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia
For residents of these regions
the summer period, which is lasting 5-8 months, is very uncomfortable in terms
of average daily temperature, not to mention the very low humidity and almost
complete absence of precipitation.
Deserts.
And with each year the climate
of these regions is getting worse, the average daily temperature rises and the
desert comes to the treated areas.
The solution to these problems
is hampered by the lack of new technologies that could allow at least local
changes in climatic conditions to create comfortable living conditions, at
least within the boundaries of small towns or special recreation areas
3. Purpose of the project
We can not stop increasing in
the average daily temperature, but we can ensure the creation of huge
artificial zones (oases) with a comfortable temperature regime or provide a
temperature regime for existing medium-sized cities.
This project provides the
development of the complex of hydro technical climate station (sketch design)
for a local changes in temperature and humidity of an ambient air in a limited
area (on an area of 10-100 km2), as well as the development
of a service organization that provides the operation of such a station.
In addition, one such climate
station can be a source of fresh water with a productivity of 150-300 thousand
tons per month – a sufficient amount to create artificial freshwater
reservoirs.
The cost of development of the
project for the construction of an experienced local climate station with a
link to it on the ground is about $ 25.0
million, with a project preparation period of up to 24 months.
The cost of the construction
of such a climate station will be about $
400.0 million, with the terms of putting it into operation about 36 months.
4. Description of the project
The project provides the
development of a hydro technical station complex for a local climate in a
limited open area. This station uses one of three possible ways of changing the
temperature and humidity of the ambient air in the zone of its effective action
with a radius of 3 to 6
kilometers
The operation of such a
station makes it possible to convert every ton of hydrocarbon fuel used in it
into 30 tons of fresh water while simultaneously removing 80 MW/h (290 GJ) of
heat from the surrounding air, which will lead to a drop in its temperature.
Below are the preliminary
indicative characteristics of the climate station of the local climate change:
The amount of capital
investment in the construction of the station is $ 400.000.000.
The power consumption is about
6000 kWh.
The consumption of diesel fuel
is 6.000 tons per month.
The number of employees is 300
people.
The volume of fresh water
production is 180,000 tons per month.
The amount of energy allocated
for lowering the temperature of the ambient air is 667 MW/h (480 GW/h per
month).
Total monthly expenses for the
station are about $ 15 million per month.
Payback of the project - 4
months of operation of the climate station.
The operating life of such
climate station is not limited.
This project of a climate
station can be combined with an oxygen energy project. That is, oxygen energy
is able to replace the consumption of hydrocarbon fuel (in the amount of 6,000
tons per month) and provide energy for all the station's production processes.
At the same time, the total
power of oxygen energy generation will be about 45 MW/h.
The use of oxygen in the
complex of the station for local climate change will increase the total cost of
the project by $ 120-140 million, but will make the entire cycle of operation
of the climate station environmentally friendly. In addition, the use of oxygen
energy generation will significantly reduce the overall operating costs for the
operation of the climate station.
In the process of implementing of the project, a complex of a hydro technical
station for local climate change is being developed, which can be created in
the coastal zone of any state.
Based on theoretical calculations, the work of four such climate
stations could significantly change the temperature regime of such cities as Doha , Abu Dhabi or even Kuwait
