Definitions

  • a wind turbine both land-based and offshore, that can be easily erected from a generally horizontal position for maintenance, safety and transport to a generally vertical position in operation.
  • wind turbine placed on bodies of water Another advantage of the wind turbine placed on bodies of water is that the less turbulent winds at the surface of the water allow the turbine wheel to be supported lower and closer to the surface of the water. This tends to reduce the expense of having a tall tower as usually required for land mounted wind turbines. Accordingly, it would be desirable to locate wind turbines on bodies of water spaced relatively close to a land mass where there is a need for electricity. Also, it would be desirable to produce wind turbines with a means for reducing the longitudinal force applied by the turbine wheel to the tower or other vertical support of the wind turbine.
  • offshore wind turbines built according to traditional standards used for land-based systems and using designs may not be able to withstand the gusts of a category 5 hurricane and thereby pose a risk of personal and property damage.
  • the potential damage to the wind turbine from one storm can dramatically reduce the financial viability of an offshore project.
  • current designs do not handle veer which is the measure of the change of wind across a vertical span. The strain on the blades can be too great creating damage to the blades and hub.
  • One effect of having a rotating wind turbine is that there is a gyroscopic effect resulting from the rotation energy. This can, among other factors, create horizontal deflection so that the wind turbine will rotate away from an optimal angle of attack.
  • the concepts include controlling the pitch of individual blades, to decreasing gyroscopic forces on the rotor when yawing. This concept presumes to take advantage of the wind's kinetic energy on the blade to assist in turning the turbine into the wind. Such a control feature cyclically alters blade pitch as the wind direction changes so as to present different angles of attack between the blades and wind. This concept may also eliminate the need for yaw drive motors.
