Control system and method of vehicle using in-wheel motor

Disclosed is a technique for controlling the stability of a vehicle via in-wheel motors. More specifically, a steering angle, a wheel speed, a lateral G-Force, and a yaw rate calculated, and the lateral G-Force is compared with a predetermined lateral G-Force threshold. Next, a predetermined yaw rate control threshold is compared with a difference between an actual yaw rate and a demand yaw rate based on the calculated steering angle and wheel speed. The demand yaw rate and the actual yaw rate are then compared when the difference between the demand yaw rate and the actual yaw rate is greater than the yaw rate control threshold, and a final torque value is generated according to the difference between the demand yaw rate and the actual yaw rate.

Wind turbine blades with reinforcing, supporting and stabilizing components and enlarged swept area

A rotor assembly for a horizontal-axis wind turbine with blades support attachments. Each end of the supporting elements is fixedly or rotatably attached to one blade. In a new and improved embodiment, the blades start from the support element, skipping the swept area inside these elements but at the same time increasing many times the total swept area with substantially reduced cost. The support elements might be additionally attached to already existing wind turbine rotors. The reinforcing elements support and protect the blades from bending, breaking or falling apart in strong and gusty winds. The rotor of a wind turbine occasionally will rotate with speeds higher then normal and if the blades are not reinforced and properly balanced the whole assembly may start wobbling and then break apart from the tower or the blades may be damaged or may bend or break.
