Abstract

The wind generator includes two rotors (1,2) which are supported by arms (9,10) in a V-formation. The arms are articulated on a base (11) which is able to swivel about a vertical column (6) on rollers. One rotor (1) is located to windward and the second (2) is slightly downwind. The swivelling of the whole structure is controlled either by the use of an air brake (4) or by varying the drag of one rotor. The supporting arms (9,10) are normally held in the V-position by a tie bar (13) and a stay (14) but may be lowered for maintenance of the rotors.

Description

L'invention est relative à des perfectionnememts aux aérogénérateurs birotors destinés à rendre leur fabrication plus économique et leur exploitation plus sûre . The invention relates to improvements to twin-rotor wind turbines intended to make their production more economical and their operation safer.

L'agencement ,objet de l'invention ,dérive directement de celui décrit dans la demande de brevet Français n" 9510132
Des essais en soufflerie ,réalisés antérieurement par E.D.F. ont mis en évidence un gain de rendement de l'ordre de 10% d'un birotor composé de deux rotors contrarotatifs dans le même plan et rapprochés tangentiellement ,par rapport à deux rotors isolés
A ce jour ,il n'a pas été possible d'exploiter cet avantage car en pratique ,le plan de rotation des deux rotors se trouve en avant ou en arrière de la structure porteuse et de l'axe de pivotement.The arrangement which is the subject of the invention derives directly from that described in French patent application no. 9510132
Wind tunnel tests, previously carried out by EDF, have shown an efficiency gain of around 10% of a birotor composed of two counter-rotating rotors in the same plane and brought together tangentially, compared to two isolated rotors
To date, it has not been possible to exploit this advantage because in practice, the plane of rotation of the two rotors is located in front of or behind the support structure and the pivot axis.

De ce fait, il n'est pas possible de modifier facilement l'attitude par rapport à la direction du vent ,par exemple pour faire pivoter le plan de rotation des deux rotors en position neutre dans le lit du vent
Dans la demande de brevet antérieure on a décrit un birotor à symétrie axiale équilibré et donc pilotable .Ce birotor est caractérisé en ce que les deux rotors sont fixés de part et d'autre d'une structure pivotante en V dans deux plans paralelles . Ce montage permet notamment l'assemblage de grands rotors mais ne donne pas de gain de rendement qui ne peut être obtenu que si les deux rotors tournent dans le même plan
Il est géométriquement possible d'assembler deux rotors dans le plan passant exactement par l'axe de pivotement à condition de couder le support et d'équilibrer celui ci par un contrepoids
Selon l'invention , il s'avère beaucoup plus simple de décaler les deux flèches d'un support en V afin de localiser le plan de rotation commun des deux rotors entre les plans de ces flèches et donc exactement sur l'axe de pivotement
L'invention s'applique à des aérogénérateurs birotors dont les deux ensembles rotor-nacelle ont une masse pouvant être supportée par deux flèches composée chacune d'un seul tube d'acier de gros diamètre
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention les deux rotors sont disposés alternativement l'un au-vent d'une fleche du support en V ,l'autre sous-le-vent de l'autre flèche. Cette configuration caractéristique est obtenue en articulant les pieds des fleches au deux angles opposés de l'embase carrée qui pivote autour du fût fixe et repose sur une couronne de galets
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention les deux fleches de section sensiblement constante sont contreventées par une traverse horizontale intermediaire qui pivote au sommet du fût et par des contrefiches obliques qui les réunit aux deux autres angles de l'embase carrée
Bien entendu ,comme dans la description antérieure les deux fleches articulées sur l'embase peuvent être levées ou abaissées pour les opérations de maintenance
L'invention est applicable a tous les types de rotors et de dispositifs electro-mécaniques associés
Selon une caractéristique de l'invention ,dans le cas de l'association de deux rotors à pas variable
Le pilotage par rapport å la direction du vent s'opère en faisant varier le pas d'un des rotors par rapport à l'autre , par exemple en mettant l'un des rotors en drapeau on obtient le pivotement de l'ensemble dans le lit du vent
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention on peut associer un rotor à pas fixe et un rotor à pas variable .Dans ce cas ,le pilotage s'effectue par modification du pas du rotor a pas variable
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention on peut associer deux rotors à pas entièrement fixe .Dans ce cas le pilotage est obtenu par la commande d'un volet aérofrein formant dérive articulé le long d'une des flèches et actionné par un verin fixe sur la traverse
On peut egalement créer une dyssimetrie aérodynamique par le gonflement d'une enveloppe pneumatique fixée le long d'une des flèches
On notera qu'il est possible de faire se placer dans le lit du vent un birotor dote de rotors bipales à pas fixe dotés de freins en immobilisant.Therefore, it is not possible to easily change the attitude relative to the wind direction, for example to rotate the plane of rotation of the two rotors in neutral position in the wind bed
In the previous patent application, a birotor with balanced axial symmetry and therefore controllable has been described. This birotor is characterized in that the two rotors are fixed on either side of a V-shaped pivoting structure in two parallel planes. This assembly allows in particular the assembly of large rotors but does not give any gain in efficiency which can only be obtained if the two rotors rotate in the same plane
It is geometrically possible to assemble two rotors in the plane passing exactly by the pivot axis on condition of bending the support and balancing it by a counterweight
According to the invention, it turns out to be much simpler to offset the two arrows of a V-shaped support in order to locate the common plane of rotation of the two rotors between the planes of these arrows and therefore exactly on the pivot axis.
The invention applies to twin-rotor wind turbines in which the two rotor-nacelle assemblies have a mass which can be supported by two arrows, each consisting of a single large diameter steel tube.
According to another characteristic of the invention the two rotors are arranged alternately one upwind of an arrow of the V-shaped support, the other downwind of the other arrow. This characteristic configuration is obtained by articulating the feet of the arrows at the two opposite angles of the square base which pivots around the fixed shaft and rests on a ring of rollers
According to another characteristic of the invention, the two arrows of substantially constant section are braced by an intermediate horizontal crosspiece which pivots at the top of the barrel and by oblique struts which joins them at the two other angles of the square base.
Of course, as in the previous description, the two arrows articulated on the base can be raised or lowered for maintenance operations
The invention is applicable to all types of rotors and associated electro-mechanical devices
According to a characteristic of the invention, in the case of the association of two rotors with variable pitch
Piloting with respect to the wind direction operates by varying the pitch of one of the rotors relative to the other, for example by feathering one of the rotors, the assembly is pivoted in the wind bed
According to another characteristic of the invention, a fixed pitch rotor and a variable pitch rotor can be combined. In this case, the control is effected by modifying the pitch of the variable pitch rotor.
According to another characteristic of the invention, two rotors with entirely fixed pitch can be associated. In this case, control is obtained by controlling an air brake flap forming a drift articulated along one of the arrows and actuated by a fixed jack on the crossing
One can also create an aerodynamic dyssimetry by the swelling of a pneumatic envelope fixed along one of the arrows
It will be noted that it is possible to place a birotor fitted with fixed-pitch two-bladed rotors fitted with brakes while immobilizing in the wind bed.

un rotor en position verticale et l'autre en position horizontale ,les pales etendues de ce dernier formant derive . one rotor in the vertical position and the other in the horizontal position, the extended blades of the latter forming a fin.

Au points de vue structural et économique ,un birotor ne peut être avantageux de façon significative par rapport à deux monorotors que si le coût du support commun est minimisé
Pour resister aux efforts de renversement doubles la fondation aura selon l'invention une forme cruCiforme et sera realisee en béton armé ainsi que le fût axial .Cette assise sera ancrée dans le terrain par 5 pieux par exemple
L'invention sera mieux comprise par la description et les dessins annexés d'un aerogenérateur birotor de moyenne puissance compose de deux rotors indifferemment à pas fixe ou variable , bipales ou tripales et aux pales fabriquées en bois plastifié , en métal ,ou en matériaux composites On à représente egalement un volet d'orientation

La figure 2 est une vue de profil du même aêrogénérateur
La figure 3 est une vue en plan du même aérogénérateur montrant la position d'équilibre face au vent et en pointillé ,une position d'evitement . From a structural and economic point of view, a birotor can only be significantly advantageous compared to two monorotors if the cost of the common support is minimized
To resist double overturning efforts, the foundation will have a cruCiforme shape according to the invention and will be made of reinforced concrete as well as the axial shaft. This foundation will be anchored in the ground by 5 piles for example
The invention will be better understood from the description and the accompanying drawings of a medium-power birotor aerogenerator composed of two rotors, either fixed or variable pitch, two-bladed or three-bladed, and blades made of plasticized wood, metal, or composite materials. There is also an orientation component
