Embodiment Construction

[0019] figure 1 An exemplary wind turbine 100 according to the present disclosure is shown. Wind turbine 100 includes a nacelle 102 mounted on top of a tower 104 and a rotor 106 . The nacelle 102 houses a wind turbine power generation system 105 ( figure 2 ), the system is used to convert the wind energy captured by the rotor 106 into electricity. Nacelle 102 may also house other equipment for controlling and operating wind turbine 100 . Rotor 106 includes rotor blades 108 attached to a rotating hub 110 . The rotating hub 110 is coupled to the wind turbine power generation system and is configured to provide mechanical energy to the system. In the exemplary embodiment, wind turbine 100 includes three rotor blades 108 . In another embodiment, a wind turbine may include one or more rotor blades 108 . The height of tower 104 is selected based on factors and conditions known in the art, and may extend to heights of up to 60 meters or more. Wind turbine 100 may be installed...

Abstract

This invention relates to wind turbine system, further more, disclosed a wind turbine to convert wind energy into electricity by a positive displacement hydraulic pump (300). The hydraulic pump (300)is disposed adjacent a shaft (312) coupled to a hub (110). In one embodiment, the rotation of the hub (110) drives the hydraulic pump (300). In another embodiment, the hub (110) rotates the shaft (312) to drive the hydraulic pump (300).

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to a wind turbine system, and more particularly, to a wind turbine system including a hydraulic system for storing captured wind energy. Background technique [0002] Wind turbines have gained increasing attention in recent years as an environmentally safe and relatively inexpensive alternative energy source. With this growing interest, great efforts have been made to develop reliable and efficient wind turbines. [0003] Wind turbines use wind energy to generate electricity. A traditional wind turbine consists of wind-driven turbine blades attached to a rotor mounted on a tower or platform. The rotor can spin at speeds up to about 60 rpm in a steady wind of about 20 mph. The rotor is typically coupled to the generator through a transmission. Typical generators include synchronous or asynchronous generators and require a constant input shaft speed of about 1200 to about 1800 rpm to generate power. Although variable s...
