Abstract

The present invention relates to a mobile power generation system and method of constructing the system. The mobile power generation system includes a power generation module configured to generate and transmit electricity, a mobile module configured to be movable and to allow the power generation module to be assembled therein, an additional module configured to protect the mobile module against external physical shocks and fix the mobile module at a designated location, and a site configured to allow the mobile module to be fixed therein. The present invention is advantageous in that mobile power generation facilities are modularized and produced in a technically-intensive manner, the construction time and expenses thereof are decreased, existing sites are reused, and the mobile power generation facilities are safely protected against physical shocks such as earthquakes because they are moved and float through a mobile module.

Claims

1. A mobile power generation system, comprising:

a power generation module configured to generate and transmit electricity;

a mobile module configured to be movable and to allow the power generation module to be assembled therein;

an additional module configured to protect the mobile module against external physical shocks and fix the mobile module at a designated location; and

a site configured to allow the mobile module to be fixed therein.

2. The mobile power generation system according to claim 1, wherein the power generation module comprises:

a power generation unit for generating electricity using any one selected from various energy sources including nuclear fuel, fossil fuel, natural fuel, bio fuel, hydrogen fuel, and a fuel cell; and

a power transmission unit for transmitting the electricity generated by the power generation unit.

3. The mobile power generation system according to claim 1, wherein the site is implemented as any one selected from among a ground site and a sea site in which the mobile module is fixed.

4. The mobile power generation system according to claim 1, wherein the mobile module is moved to a ground site including a dock, one end of which is open, and a protection gate, which is installed at the open end of the dock and is configured to open or close the dock, so that the mobile module is fixed in the dock.

5. The mobile power generation system according to claim 4, wherein the dock is implemented as any one selected from among a dry-type dock and a wet-type dock.

6. The mobile power generation system according to claim 1, wherein the mobile module further comprises a location control unit for performing control such that the power generation module is not moved from a designated location when the power generation module is assembled in the mobile module and is moved to the designated location.

7. The mobile power generation system according to claim 1, wherein the additional module comprises at least one selected from among a powered fixing unit for fixing the mobile module at a designated location using power, and a non-powered fixing unit for fixing the mobile module at the designated location without using power.

8. A method of constructing a mobile power generation system, comprising:

a construction and building step of simultaneously performing one or more selected from among construction of a power generation module, construction of a mobile module, construction of an additional module, and building of a site;

an assembly movement step of assembling the power generation module and the additional module in the mobile module, moving the mobile module to a designated site, and fixing the mobile module at the designated site; and

an operation step of generating and transmitting electricity by operating the power generation module, and maintaining the power generation module.

9. The method according to claim 8, wherein the construction and building step is performed to simultaneously construct or build one or more selected from among a power generation unit and a power transmission unit of the power generation module, the mobile module, a shock-absorbing unit and a fixing unit of the additional module, the site, and a power reception module.

10. The method according to claim 9, wherein the power generation module, the mobile module, the additional module, and the power reception module are constructed in a technically-intensive manner and are standardized in a production environment provided with skilled technical experts and precise measurement equipment, thus being produced in large quantities to guarantee production quality.
