WIND POWER INSTALLATION

Abstract

Provided is a wind power installation for converting the kinetic energy of the wind into the mechanical energy of rotation of a rotor for subsequent conversion of the mechanical energy of rotation into the electrical energy. A wind power installation includes a support frame, a shaft disposed on the support frame, and a blade system mounted on the shaft. The shaft is configured to rotate about a vertical axis and is functionally connected to an electric generator. The support frame is configured to be mounted between at least three radially arranged structures. The wind power installation can include additional blade systems disposed one above another on the shaft. Mounting the support frame between three radially arranged structures results in greater rigidity and robustness of the wind power installation, thus enabling the use of blade systems having a larger blade area and the arrangement of several blade systems on the shaft.

Description

[0028] To explain the essence of the claimed technical solution, an embodiment of the structure of the wind power installation is shown in the drawings, where: 1 is a support frame, 2 is a shaft, 3is blade system, 4 is a nacelle.

[0029] The claimed technical solution is used as follows.

[0030] Three structures are built by any known methods, in particular, the three structures are multistory buildings made in a form that allows wind flows to flow smoothly around them. The structures can be placed both at an equal distance from each other, and at different distances from each other, so that a space for locating the wind power installation is formed in the center between them. Further, the support frame (1) is rigidly fixed to frames of the structures at three points at a pre-calculated height, for example, the height of the lower blade system can be 8 meters for an 80-story building. Then, a shaft (2) having a vertical axis of rotation and functionally connected to the electric generator is mounted on the frame (1). The blade system (3) is placed on the shaft (2). The parameters and the number of blades are calculated based on the wind characteristics of a region, energy requirements, a height of structures, and so forth. The air passage formed by the three structures makes it possible to amplify air flows of any direction of the wind, which, when meeting streamlined portions, will be directed to the central portion, where the blade system (3) is located and is capable of absorbing the kinetic energy of the wind and transmit, by rotating, the motion to the shaft (2) and to the electric generator, where the conversion of the rotational energy into the electrical energy is performed. According to mathematical calculations, the wind power installation that includes 7-8 blade systems located one above the other on the shaft mounted on the frame between 80-story buildings can cover the electricity needs of three 80-story buildings by generating at least 7.5 MW by each blade system. Electric power storage devices can be additionally connected to the electric generator. Additionally, the wind power installation can be equipped with an air nacelle (4) configured to redirect the air flow entering it by redirecting it to the blades.

[0031] The presented figures and the description of the structure do not illustrate all possible embodiments and do not in any way limit the scope of the claimed technical solution. Other embodiments are possible according to the scope of the claims.
