Description

Technical field

An embodiment of the present invention generally relates to systems and devices for generating renewable energy. In particular, the present development relates to a wind turbine system based on aerodynamic drag with adjustable blades.

State of the art

Subject matter discussed in the background section should not be considered prior art simply because it is mentioned in the background section. Likewise, it should not be assumed that a problem mentioned in the background section or related to the subject matter of the background section has been previously recognized in the prior art. The subject of the background section simply presents various approaches, which themselves may also relate to the implementation of the claimed technology.

Renewable energy, often referred to as clean energy, is increasingly becoming one of the world's main energy sources. With depleting non-renewable resources, increasing environmental pollution and ever-increasing energy demands, the world has turned its attention to renewable energy sources to meet energy demand without harming the environment. The two most popular sources of renewable energy are solar energy and wind energy. Wind turbines and windmills have been around for centuries and represent the cheapest source of energy in many parts of the world.

And the basic configuration of a windmill platform with a three-bladed horizontal axis wind turbine downwind on a monopole tower has not changed much. However, windmill dimensions have increased by 6-7 times for hub height, 6-8 times for rotor diameter, and 30-50 times for power rating. Wind turbines today rival the size of imposing monuments and buildings, withstanding dynamic and complex loads throughout the life of the turbine. Most wind turbines consist of a turbine with three blades mounted on a tubular steel tower. There are less common varieties with two blades or with concrete or steel lattice towers. At 100 feet (30.48 m) or more above the ground, the tower allows the turbine to take advantage of higher wind speeds at higher altitudes.

Turbines capture wind energy with their propeller-like blades, which act much like an airplane wing, with the area in contact with the wind being a small fraction of the total area covered by the blades in a circle. When the wind blows, a zone of low pressure air forms on one side of the blade. The area of low pressure air then pulls the blade towards itself, causing the rotor to turn at right angles to the direction of the wind, this is called lift. The lift force is always less than the total wind force applied to the front side of the blade, tending to push the blade in the direction of the wind, what is called thrust, which is about 300% or more. The partial conversion of thrust into lift causes the rotor to rotate like a propeller. A series of gears increases the rotor speed from about 18 revolutions per minute to about 1500 or 1800 revolutions per minute, a speed that allows the turbine generator to produce alternating current electricity in accordance with the local grid.

The streamlined casing houses the turbine's key components, typically including the transmission, rotor and generator, which are contained within a housing called a nacelle. Located on top of the turbine tower, some nacelles are large enough for a helicopter to land on. Another key component installed is the turbine controller, which regulates rotor speed in winds exceeding 55 mph (88 km) to avoid damage in high winds. The anemometer continuously measures wind speed and transmits data to the turbine controller. The brake, also located in the nacelle, stops the rotor mechanically, electrically or hydraulically in emergency situations.

The angle between the direction of the headwind and the angle of the blade relative to the headwind is called the "angle of attack". As this angle of attack increases, more lift is created, but as the angle gets even larger, beyond about 20 degrees, the lift on the blade will begin to decrease. Thus, there is an ideal rotor blade angle that produces optimal torque.

It is clear that this propeller-like design of wind turbine blades converts only the lifting energy of the wind into useful shaft power, called torque. It does this by extracting energy from the wind by slowing it down, or reducing the speed of the wind as it glides over the blades.

Therefore, there is a need for an aerodynamic drag based wind turbine system having adjustable blades that provide a large blade contact area and operate even at low wind speeds as well as high wind speeds in excess of 200 km/h with improved efficiency, economy and simplicity. in structure maintenance.

Purpose of the invention

The object of the invention is to provide a wind turbine system based on aerodynamic drag and lift, having adjustable blades, in which the forces of aerodynamic drag and lift are combined by rotating the blade with the wind, rather than at right angles, to improve efficiency.

Another object of the invention is to use drag force as the main propulsion force and add lift by dynamically changing the angle of attack of the blade in response to its rotational position during each turn.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a blade assembly that includes sub-blade panels that rotate about their axis and increase the operating range of wind speed from less than 5 M/s to more than 80 M/s.

Another object of the present invention is to make a wind turbine cheaper and easier to maintain.

The present invention provides a drag-based wind turbine system that has a plurality of adjustable blade panel assemblies, and each blade panel assembly itself contains a plurality of controllable (rotating) sub-blade panels. The present invention, with its novel and ingenious arrangement, is capable of independently changing the angle of incidence of each paddle panel assembly continuously during each rotation to optimize drag or reduce back drag and generate some lift as the part rotates. The device is configured so that the wind blows tangentially to the rotation of the main rotor, rather than in an axial direction. The main rotor or rotors may be placed vertically, horizontally, or at any angle in between, each with one or more blade panel assemblies mounted on corresponding arms connected to the rotor at any location along the length of the rotor. These auxiliary shafts of the paddle panel assemblies are controlled by the main control unit and control devices (such as cams, actuators, etc.) to adjust the angle of incidence of the paddle panels relative to the wind direction continuously changing during each rotation cycle.

Output devices are provided to harness the energy from the rotation of the turbine and main rotor(s).

Additionally, since each blade panel assembly contains movable or controllable sub-blade panels, therefore, during normal wind/operating conditions, the sub-blade panels are in the closed position to block air (providing maximum area for the wind to strike) and create maximum drag and lift. However, when wind speeds begin to exceed certain predetermined limits, then the sub-blade panels of each blade panel assembly may be independently opened (partially or completely) to allow excess air to pass through the blade panel, partially or completely. This independent control of the sub-blade panels helps maintain constant torque even when wind speed changes by more than 30 times. This design feature eliminates the need for brakes to control rotation at excessive wind speeds. This method allows the collected rotational force to be transferred for further conversion into any other form of energy according to the needs.

The present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings, showing various embodiments of the present invention.

Fig. 1A illustrates an isometric view of a drag-based wind turbine system (100) in a vertical axis arrangement in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention; As shown in FIG. 1A, a wind turbine system (100) based on aerodynamic drag (hereinafter referred to as “system (100)”) is located along a vertical axis. However, the skilled reader will appreciate that the system (100) of the present invention may be located along a vertical axis, a horizontal axis, or any position in between without departing from the scope of the present invention. Other types of devices have also been contemplated in other embodiments of the present invention, which are explained later in the description. For better explanation and clarity of understanding, front and top views of the system (100) in FIG. 1A are also shown in FIG. 1B-1C, respectively.

As shown in FIG. 1A, the system (100) includes one or more output drive rotors (102) located on the base structure (120). The base structure (120) can be understood as a structure that allows the system (100) to reach a desired height, as well as accommodate components of the system (100). The height can vary from 1 meter to several hundred meters, depending on the type of application. Thus, in this sense, the base (120) may be, but is not limited to, a tower, etc., having one or more supports (1204) and one or more horizontal/vertical platforms (1202) for placing components of the system (100) (as noted in Figures 1A and 1B). Additionally, there may be multiple base designs (120) if more than one wind turbine is used in a single system (100). One or more output drive rotors (102) may be positioned on the base structure (120) vertically or horizontally or at any angle therebetween in a series or parallel arrangement, depending on the type of arrangement (horizontal, vertical, etc.) used for system (100). One or more output drive rotors (102) act as a hub for the entire rotating turbine and a means for collecting and transmitting the energy generated by the system (100) to other energy transfer devices including, but not limited to, electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, thermal etc.

To simplify the explanation, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1A-1C, only one output drive rotor (102) is shown to be positioned vertically on the base. In addition, one or more output drive rotors (102) are connected to one or more arms (104). The one or more arm structure may extend radially or tangentially from one or both ends or a portion between both ends of each of the one or more output drive rotors (102). For example, four arms (104) extend radially (90 degrees apart) from the top end of the output drive rotor (102) shown in FIG. 1A. One or more arms (104) are coupled to one or more output drive rotors (102) via primary control devices (106). The term "primary control devices (106)" is intended to include multiple types of mechanisms and combinations of multiple types of mechanisms/devices.

In this sense, one or more primary control devices (106) and secondary control devices (110) are selected from, but are not limited to, one or more cam and pusher devices, servo motors, belt and pulley devices, chain mechanisms, linear and rotary actuators (1066 ), gear trains, linkages, centrifuges, hydraulic controls, pneumatic controls, numerical controls, stepper motors, electromagnetic motors, electromagnets, screw drives, slot readers, digital and analog controls, or combinations thereof. For example: the embodiment shown in FIG. 1A-1B illustrate the use of a cam and follower in the form of a slot readout mechanism (1062), linear actuators, control rods (1064), a rotary actuator (1066), linear bearings, gearing, etc. as primary control devices (106).

The cam mechanism (1062) used in the embodiment of FIG. 1A-1C, is shown in more detail in FIG. 2A-2C. Fig. 2A-2C illustrate a cam device in the form of a slot reader operating as a main control unit (MCU) (112) of the present invention. In fig. 2A shows that the cam mechanism (1062) is located in the GCU (112). In fig. 2B and 2C show the same open-top and sectional views, respectively. As can be seen from Fig. 2A-2C, GBU (112) includes a housing (202). Additionally, a cam (204) having a groove of a predetermined width around it, having a predetermined shape, is located in the housing (202) and is surrounded by four pushers (206) connected to the control rods (1064) of each linear actuator along each of the four arms (104) . The followers (206) are each provided with two freely rotating wheels/bearings (208) of suitable size to fit into a cam groove configured to move along the contour of the cam (204). The groove shape was pre-programmed to optimize the angle of attack of each blade panel assembly during one full 360° rotation in a given wind direction, such as north. When this complete slot assembly is rotated 90° clockwise, its optimal wind direction for all blades will change 90° from the current north direction to the east direction.

Rotation of this full slot assembly in the housing (202) is achieved by a gear assembly containing a smaller drive gear (1070) meshed with a direction control gear (1068) driven by a motor (hard to see) under the control of a main control unit (MCU) ( 112), ensuring that the wind turbine system (100) is optimally active in all wind directions. The drive gear (1070) helps rotate the direction control gear (1068) with its attached housing (202) to a desired orientation depending on inputs from the wind direction sensor. Additionally, one or more auxiliary components (208) (such as bearings, rivets, small wheels, rods, etc.) may also be provided to secure the components in place and provide smooth relative movement.

It should be noted that all components and connections of the primary control devices (106) mentioned above or shown in FIG. 1A-1C and FIG. 2A-2C are exemplary only. They illustrate that the primary control devices (106) can be purely mechanical and at the same time pre-configurable for automatic control. However, the above components can simply be replaced by other electrical components, as indicated in the primary controlled devices (106) above. The present invention may simply use electric motors instead of a cam mechanism (1062) or linear and rotary actuators (1066). Additionally, the connection between one or more output drive rotors (102) and one or more arms (104) (or any moving components) may include electromagnets (for example, in a housing (202)) and use magnetic levitation to optimize (eliminate low speed wind and increases at high wind speeds) friction between moving parts. In this way, the number of required components (and moving components) can be reduced.

Returning to FIG. 1A, the system (100) further includes one or more blade panel assemblies (108) rotatably coupled to one or more associated arms (104). As shown in FIG. 1A-1C, each arm (104) is connected to one blade assembly (108) at the distal end of the corresponding arm (104). As can be seen from Fig. 1, each paddle panel assembly (108) includes an auxiliary rotary shaft (1084) rotatably mounted on each of one or more arms (104) coupled through one or more primary control devices (106). The primary control devices (106) rotate the auxiliary rotary shaft (10846) and thereby change the angle of attack of each blade panel assembly (108). Also provided is a mounting device (1082) coupled to an auxiliary rotary shaft (1084). The mounting device may include one or more frames, connection means, mounting means, etc.

This example shows that the mounting device includes a blade frame, which can be square, rectangular, or any polygonal shape. In addition, each mounting device (1082) (which in this example is a blade frame) has one or more sub-blade panels (1086) that can rotate at one or more rotation points of the mounting device (1082). This is made possible by one or more auxiliary control devices (110) connected to the mounting device (1082). This allows one or more sub-blade panels (1086) to rotate (open and close), thereby blocking and/or allowing wind to pass partially or completely through the blade panels. In another embodiment, the mounting device (1082) may include rotatably mounting/rotating one or more sub-blade panels (1086) directly onto an auxiliary rotary shaft (1084) via coupling means (without the need for any frame).

In fig. 3A-3C show a blade panel assembly (108) with (a) closed, (b) partially open/closed, and (c) open sub-blade panels (1086). Figures 1A-1C and 3A-3C illustrate an embodiment in which sub-blade panels (1086) are rotated horizontally and separated one in each row. But in other embodiments, the sub-blade panels (1086) can be rotated vertically or at an angle and can be separated one in each column. In yet another embodiment, there may be multiple subblade panels (1086) in each row and column (like a chessboard), with each subblade panel (1086) or groups of subblade panels (1086) operating independently. In addition, one or more subblade panels (1086) are made of a material selected from, but not limited to, metal, non-metal, alloy, polymer, fiber, glass, ceramic, wood, or a combination thereof. The blade panel assembly (108) itself is new and innovative as it can also be used to retrofit existing wind turbines to provide improvements.

As mentioned previously, secondary control devices (110) are configured to facilitate rotational movement of one or more subblade panels (1086). In this sense, the secondary control devices (110) are selected from, but are not limited to, one or more cam and pusher devices, servo motors, belt and pulley devices, chain mechanisms, gear trains, linear and rotary actuators (1066), linkage mechanisms, centrifuges, hydraulic, pneumatic control, numerical control, stepper motors, electromagnetic motors, electromagnets, screw drives, slot readers, digital and analog controls or combinations thereof.

In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1A-1C, the secondary control device includes a control rod, a motor (110), a rotary actuator, and levers mounted on each mounting device (1082). A control rod is coupled to each of one or more subblade panels (1086), and a servo motor is coupled to the control rod. The servo motor moves the control rod, and the control rod, in turn, moves each of the one or more sub-blade panels (1086) to fully open, partially open/close, or fully close them.

In addition, the system (100) includes one or more sensors (not shown) coupled to one or more auxiliary rotating shafts (1084), a mounting device (1082), one or more sub-blade panels (1086), and one or more output drive rotors (102). The one or more sensors include, but are not limited to, a wind direction sensor, a wind speed sensor, an accelerometer, a gyroscope sensor, a magnetometer, an orientation sensor, a groove reader, a protrusion reader, an optical reader, a pressure sensor, a radiation sensor, a punched disk reader, a magnetic sensor, anemometer, Hall effect sensors or a combination thereof. These sensors may be located where they are needed in the system (100), depending on where the system (100) is being implemented.

Additionally, as previously mentioned when discussing the primary control devices (106), the system (100) also includes a main control unit (MCU (112)). In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the MCU (112) is typically located between one or more arm structures (104) and one or more output drive rotors (102). In other embodiments including multiple output drive rotors (102) and more than one GCU (112), there may be a corresponding GCU (112) along with each output drive rotor (102) (and its connected components). Unlike the primary control devices (106), the GCU (112) may further include or be coupled to a processing module (not shown). For embodiments similar to those shown in FIG. 1A, where there is only one output drive rotor, the processing module may be located in the housing (202) along with the cam and follower (1062). In other embodiments, including multiple output drive rotors (102) and more than one GPU (112), there may be a processing module located in each GPU (112), or there may be one central processing module for the entire system. The GCU (112) containing the processing module is connected to one or more sensors, one or more primary control devices (106) and one or more secondary control devices (110). The processing module may receive input data from one or more sensors, input devices, or may be connected externally via LAN/WAN, Internet, etc., and may also provide control commands to one or more primary control devices (106) and one or more secondary control devices (110), and direction control mechanisms based on the received input data.

The processing module (not shown) may include computing capabilities, such as a memory unit configured to store machine-readable instructions. Computer-readable instructions may be loaded into the memory unit from non-transitory computer-readable media, such as, but not limited to, CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs, and flash drives. In addition, machine-readable instructions can be loaded in computer form into a memory unit. The memory block can thus be selected from a group including EPROM, EEPROM, flash memory and others. In addition, the processing module includes a processor operably connected to the memory unit. In various embodiments, the processor may be, but is not limited to, an ARM-based processor or a multi-core processor in the form of a field programmable gate array (FPGA), a general purpose processor, and a special purpose integrated circuit (SPIC).

In another embodiment, the processing module may be a microcontroller. A microcontroller may include one or more CPUs (processing cores) along with memory and programmable input/output peripherals. Program memory in the form of ferroelectric RAM, NOR drive, or OTP ROM is also often included on the chip, as well as a small amount of RAM. In yet another embodiment, the processing module is a microprocessor. A microprocessor can be a register-based multi-purpose clock-controlled digital integrated circuit that takes binary data as input, processes it according to instructions stored in its memory, and produces the results as output. A microprocessor can contain both combinational logic and sequential digital logic and can act as an SBC. In yet another embodiment, the processing module may be a remotely connected external interface with control functions, the processing downloaded from external networks.

In addition, the system (100) includes an output device (114) coupled to one or more output drive rotors (102), as shown in FIG. 1A-1B. The output device (114) may be located on one or more horizontal platforms (1202) on the base. The output device (114) is configured to convert the torque of one or more output drive rotors (102) into one or more forms of energy. The form of energy can be electrical, mechanical, etc., depending on the application. In this sense, one or more output devices (114) may include generators (for generating electrical power) or for generating mechanical power - gears, belts, chains, pumps, etc. The output device (114) may also include fabrication and mounting accessories, as well as various types of bearings and friction reducing accessories, gear ratio converters (to increase/decrease rotor speed as required), and direction converters using transmissions and belts or other means. Simply put, the output device (114) is provided to include the entire infrastructure, including auxiliary equipment, for converting energy or transmitting energy from one point to another in the system (100), on or off site.

The operating method for an embodiment (vertical axis) of wind turbine system (100) based on aerodynamic drag, as shown in FIG. 1A-1C:

As mentioned above, the present invention can harness maximum wind energy at wind speeds ranging from a few miles per hour to hundreds of miles per hour without any damage to its structure (even in cyclone storms). This is made possible by two unique innovative features of the present invention, namely

(1) blade panel assemblies (108) that individually rotate about their axis dynamically during each rotation of the rotor depending on its angular position to optimize drag and lift forces while reducing back drag;

(2) Rotating sub-blade panels (1086) of the blade panel assembly (108) that can rotate (open/close) to change the wind contact area and pass excess wind through the panel assembly and prevent any damage in high speed winds.

The operating method using the above functions will now be described in detail. Referring to the embodiment of FIG. 1A, the wind is assumed to be blowing in a forward direction (represented by white arrows highlighted in black). There are four arms (104) each connected to one blade panel assembly (108) (thus 4 blade panel assemblies (108). The auxiliary rotary shafts (1084) of the blade panel assemblies (108) are supported by a corresponding lever structure (104) and controlled by primary control devices (106). Therefore, each blade panel assembly (108) is rotatable from, but not limited to, 0-270 degrees about the auxiliary rotary shaft (1084). However, if a motor is used as the main control device (106) between the corresponding lever structure (104) and the auxiliary rotary shaft (1084), then it is also possible to rotate the blade panel assembly (108) by 360 degrees.

Even before the operation of the present system (100), it is obvious that under certain conditions, such as when the wind is already blowing, the blade panel assemblies (108) may or may not rotate due to the blowing wind, a certain force will be applied to each blade panel assembly (108 ), the four arms (104) will be in a certain angular position, and so on. Therefore, these parameters need to be defined first. Thus, the processing module, through one or more sensors, dynamically determines, but is not limited to, wind direction, wind speed, rotational speed of one or more output drive rotors (102), the individual angular position of one or more arms, and the force on each blade frame ( 1082) using one or more sensors.

In addition, depending on the wind direction, the direction of rotation required for the application, and the force on each blade panel assembly (108), a processing module using one or more sensors is configured to determine the maximum point of thrust in the system (100), i.e. . max, the point of force that would rotate the system (100) in the desired direction.

For example, as shown in FIG. 1C (top view of system (100)), counterclockwise rotation is desirable (as shown by thick black arrows), maximum resistance force is on the blade panel assembly (108) on the right (as shown in the diagram), resistance force is on the rightmost blade panel assembly (108) rotates the system (100) counterclockwise with the wind. To maximize forward thrust while minimizing back drag, the other 3 panels' angle of attack is continuously adjusted to the optimal position by the GCU (112). Continuing to look at FIG. 1C, the blade panel assembly (108) in the leftmost position is likely to experience back drag when moving into the wind and will present a problem when rotating counterclockwise, so its contact area with the wind can be minimized by orienting the blade panel assembly (108 ) left parallel to the wind direction or slightly in/out to create some possible forward lift. Likewise, the front and rear blade panel assemblies (108) (as shown at the bottom and top of FIG. 1C, respectively) are oriented to provide drag and/or lift to add torque from the corresponding lever (104) in a counterclockwise direction. (and not vice versa). It should be noted that these two blades produce lift as well as drag, and both of these forces are additive, even though the lift is at right angles to the direction of the wind, but is synchronous with the counterclockwise rotation. All of the above parameters are dynamically determined by the GCU (112) (having a processing module) using one or more sensors. In addition, it should be noted that the term "dynamically determine" is used to indicate that all of the above parameters are continuously determined during each rotation, and not just once. This gives better control of the system (100) to achieve the desired results.

The GCU (112) is configured to dynamically adjust the angle of attack of each of the mounting devices (1082) during each rotation and repeat the process with each rotation. Thus, as shown in FIG. 1C, each of the four blade panel assemblies (108) continues to gradually change its position with an optimized angle of attack, rotating about its respective auxiliary rotary shaft (1086) using the primary control devices (106) under the control of the GCU (112) to achieve the desired orientation for optimization of front torque. The positions of the four blade panel assemblies (108) shown in FIG. 1C are symptomatic, and for example, when the arms (104) are rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise, the paddle panel assembly (108) on the right moves to the position (upmost as shown in FIG. 1C), the rear moves to the left, the left moves forward (bottom, as shown in Fig. 1C), and front/bottom moves to the right, and there are n other intermediate positions within a 360-degree rotation, and the panels repeat these positions in turn under the control of (various types of) GCU.

It should be noted that when the blade panel assembly (108) on the left (in FIG. 1C) is moved forward (i.e., to the down position), it will rotate and change the angle of attack approximately 120 degrees ±50 degrees to go from an inward to an inward orientation. outward orientation, as was previously done by the blade panel at the front. This sudden rotation occurs at a pre-programmed rotation position in which the generation of reverse thrust is minimal and lasts the shortest time. The main control unit (112) facilitates the above functionality using primary control devices (106), which may be a simple slot reader as shown in FIG. 2B, or a complex programmable electronic controller (not shown).

In the exemplary embodiment shown, the primary control devices (106) include a cam follower-type slot reader (1062), control rods (1064), linear actuators, a rotary actuator (1066), etc. Referring to FIG. 2B and 2C, it can be seen that the contour of the cam is accompanied by a groove slowly moving away from the center during most of the rotation, and during a very small part of the rotation it suddenly moves inward and completes the circle. Here in fig. 2B shows the position of the contour for the wind direction from west to east and 2C from north to south, where, while in FIG. 1A-C show the positions of the blade assembly for wind direction from south to north. As already stated, the tappets (206) rotate around the contour of the cam (204) in a groove around it and are further attached to the control rod (1064). The movement of the panels and arm causes the tappets (206) to move in the groove, and the shape of the groove causes reciprocating motion (linear motion) in the control rod (1064), which causes the blade panel assembly to optimize the angle of attack of the panels using linear and rotary actuators (1066) .

It should be noted that various portions of the cam contour (204) are responsible for causing rotation of the blade panel assembly (108). For example: a sudden plunge portion may cause a large rotation of the blade panel assembly (108), such as the 120 degrees ±50 degrees rotation required for the leftmost blade panel assembly (108) before it reaches the position of the lowest blade. Thus, the absolute position of the cam (204) plays a huge role in relation to wind direction. Let's assume that if the wind direction were opposite, then the cam profile angle position would be required on the opposite (right) side, as in FIG. 2B, since the desired orientations for each blade panel assembly (108) will change 180 degrees in this position. Thus, after detecting/determining a change in wind direction, the MCU (112) rotates the cam assembly (202) in the desired direction using the drive gear (1070) and control gear (1068) shown in FIG. 1B, driven by a small motor (not fully visible in the drawing).

It should be noted that the above components and their method of causing the desired rotation of one or more blade panel assemblies (108) are an example of mechanical primary control devices (106). This means that, using the above components and method, a skilled person can create an automatic or semi-automatic mechanism for dynamically rotating one or more blade panel assemblies (108). However, the above mechanical means can be replaced by electrical, electronic, hydraulic, pneumatic components such as motors (e.g. stepper/servo motors, pistons, etc.) to easily reduce the number of components used and still perform the dynamic angle of attack mechanism . In addition, other means mentioned in the list of primary/secondary control devices (106) can also be used without departing from the scope of the present invention.

Additionally, it should be remembered that the term "optimize" as used herein is intended to cover both increases and decreases in drag and lift, since in some weather conditions it may be desirable to reduce drag. Thus, the present invention is capable of doing this as well.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, there may be a scenario, such as a storm, etc., where the wind speed exceeds the overall design targets of the wind turbine system (100). For example: a wind speed of 50 meters per second is considered too high for any existing wind turbine to generate torque. Thus, in such a scenario, the present invention offers the unique ability to pass dangerously high speed wind through the blade panel assembly (108) by suitably opening all the auxiliary blades, allowing the wind to pass through it instead of hitting it. This ability allows the present invention not only to avoid damage, but also to continue to generate power even under such harsh environmental conditions.

This is achieved due to the fact that each blade panel assembly (108) of the present invention itself consists of a rotatable one or more sub-blade panels (1086) (see Fig. 3). Continuing the example in FIG. 1A, when the wind speed exceeds a predetermined limit (as determined by the system (100)), the GCU (112) through the processing module is further configured to adjust the opening of one or more sub-blade panels using one or more additional control devices (110). This allows wind to pass through the blade frame (1082) (the blade frame (1082) will be visible once fully opened) without any restrictions. The secondary control device (110) can not only reduce the back resistance, but also regulate and smooth the torque in gusty winds and protect the system (100) from abnormal speeds. In addition, this ensures that reliable and optimal power output is obtained during very large variations in wind speed, without interruption, while preventing any damage to the system (100).

The ability of one or more subblade panels (1086) to not only open or close, but also partially open allows the present invention to be used in a variety of scenarios other than high speed winds. This allows the present invention to withstand gusty winds and still provide consistent performance. For example, in the case of gusts, when the wind speed increases unevenly with a gust of wind over a period of several seconds. This change is usually noted to be within a 20% increase/decrease in wind speed. This 20% excess wind force can cause turbine systems to be overloaded by more than 170% during operation. Although short in duration, this will result in ripples in the generated electricity and, if continued for a longer period, may result in deterioration of the power generating equipment or permanent damage to it.

Since the inventive wind turbine system (100) is capable of generating at lower wind speeds of about 3 meters per second or less, it will quickly reach its rated full power at average wind speeds of 10 to 20 meters per second. In areas with good wind, wind speeds can exceed 20 meters per second, and speeds up to 30-40 meters per second are quite normal. In the present system (100), one or more subblade panels may be partially opened to adjust the power output so that it remains optimal at all times. Thus, the present invention allows one or more sub-blades to be controlled to produce constant power above the calculated optimum wind speed at full load up to, but not limited to, 80 meters per second or more. This design allows the torque output from the turbine system (100) to be maintained and adjusted to remain at its maximum design level as wind speeds vary up to ten times the optimum speed.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the present system (100) can also be implemented as a horizontal axis drag wind turbine system (100). This embodiment is shown in FIG. 4A and 4B. This embodiment is intended to cover the broader aspects that were discussed in FIG. 1A-1C, but not illustrated, such as a horizontal axis (or angular) orientation, a plurality of output drive rotors (102), a plurality of arm structures at both ends of the output drive rotors (102), a central or corresponding GCU (112), etc. d. All components and operating principles used in this embodiment are the same as those in the vertical axis embodiment in FIG. 1A, but only the number of components and design differ.

As shown in FIG. 4A, a horizontal axis wind turbine system (100) based on resistance is mounted on a base structure (120). As explained previously, the base structure (120) may be, but is not limited to, a tower, column, etc. having one or more supports (1204) and having one or more horizontal platforms (1202) for placing components of the system (100). In this embodiment, the output device (114) is located on the top of the base structure (120). An embodiment provides one or more output drive rotors (102) (say, two, in a series arrangement, as shown in FIG. 4A), each of which is connected to the output device (114) on both sides through a corresponding GCU (112) and primary control devices (106), such as gears, shafts, belt pulleys, chain sprockets, etc. to transfer rotational energy from one or more output drive rotors (102) to an output device (114) (in this case, a generator). The processing module may be centrally located or located in appropriate GCUs (112). Additionally, one or more arms (104) (say four + four as shown in FIG. 4A) extend radially (90 degrees apart) from both ends of each of the two output drive rotors (102) (which makes panels are actually 45 degrees apart).

In addition, one or more arms (104) are connected to corresponding blade panel assemblies (108). This embodiment differs from the vertical axis arrangement as here, two parallel arms (104) mount the blade panel assembly (108) instead of a single arm structure in the vertical axis arrangement (a similar arm structure can also be used there). Again, each blade panel has an auxiliary rotary shaft (1086) that can be rotated by primary control devices (106), as well as one or more sub-blade panels (1086) that can be rotated by secondary control devices (110). Thus, a horizontal axis drag wind turbine system (100) design may look like two wind turbines positioned in parallel (an offset of 45 degrees can be shown between the two sides, or up to ±180° if required) on either side of the output devices (114).

As can be seen, the output device (114) is placed on a housing (box-shaped, as shown in Fig. 4A), from which two GCUs (112) are connected on the sides. Similar to the vertical axis design, the box body is supported by a gearbox assembly that is used to rotate the entire wind turbine structure according to the direction of the wind. For example: the wind direction is currently shown to be tangentially perpendicular to the upper blade panel assemblies (108), but if the wind direction becomes axial with respect to one or more output drive rotors (102), then the entire wind turbine structure can be rotated 90 degrees so that that the wind direction becomes constant, perpendicular to the nodes of the upper blade panel (108) again and always.

The operating method also follows the same steps as for the vertical axis system (100). As shown in FIG. 4B, it can be seen that the wind is blowing from left to right, and the desired direction of rotation of one or more output drive rotors (102) is clockwise. Again, the GCU (112) and processing module dynamically determine wind direction, wind speed, rotation speed of one or more output drive rotors (102), the individual angular position of one or more arms relative to the point of maximum thrust, and the force on each mounting device (1082). using one or more sensors. Thus, to maximize drag and lift, the wind blade assemblies in the upper half (as shown in Fig. 4B) are oriented to provide the largest possible area and an optimal angle of incidence (attack) of up to 90 degrees.

For example: the topmost blade panel assembly (108) is held perpendicular to the wind direction to provide maximum area to create drag and move the panel with the wind, and the bottommost blade, which moves upwind, is held parallel to the wind direction to provide the smallest area to impact wind and minimize back drag. Likewise, each one or more blade panel assemblies (108) are configured to achieve a given orientation at certain positions during rotation to optimize (increase or decrease) the angle of attack and increase drag and/or lift and reduce back drag during rotation of the part. upwind, based on a given rotation angle, position for each blade panel assembly (108).

In addition, just as in the vertical axis system (100), if wind speed increases, the opening of one or more sub-blade panels is controlled by one or more secondary control devices (110) to reduce forward thrust by reducing the effective blade area in contact with the wind, also regulates and softens torque in gusty winds and protects the system (100) from speeds exceeding design limits. This ensures reliable and optimal full power output without interruption, while preventing any damage to the system (100).

The skilled reader will appreciate that the above embodiment can easily be operated with one output drive rotor (102) and four structural arms on one side of the output device (114). But the dual arrangement was shown only to prove that multiple output drive rotors (102) and turbines could be combined into a single system (100). Likewise, many such devices with a large number of output drive rotors (102) and a series/parallel connection and smaller or larger arms on each side are possible without departing from the scope of the present invention.

One advantage of the embodiment shown in FIG. 4A and 4B is that both sets of components on both output drive rotors (102) can be configured independently or complementary to each other while providing physical balance to the overall structure. For simplicity, the drawing shows two sets on one rotor.

Regardless of the implementation, be it a vertical axis, a horizontal axis, or an angle in between, two new and innovative features of the present invention allow each other to be insured in the event of failure of one of them. Thus, the following properties illustrate the flexibility and troubleshooting capabilities of the present invention without disrupting its operation:

For example: In another implementation, the rotating action of one or more sub-blade panels (1086) allows the present invention to operate without a dynamic rotating mechanism (212) controlling each of the blade panel assemblies (108). A situation may arise where the rotation of the blade panel on the auxiliary rotary shaft (1086) does not work or there is a problem in the rotation drive (1066) in any or all of the blade panel assemblies (108). Then, in this case, any or all of the failed paddle panel assembly (108) or assemblies can be held in a straight position, protruding in series with the corresponding lever structure (104). In such an implementation, the auxiliary control mechanism closes the sub-blade panels during movement in winds producing maximum drag, and opens all sub-blades on all panels during upwind rotation to maximize the drag force and reduce the backdrag force. This may be done if the turning mechanism for any one or two or all of the blade panel assemblies (108) does not work.

Likewise, in another implementation there may be a case where adverse weather conditions exist with high speed winds exceeding the optimal design limits of the system (100) and the turning action of the subblade panels (1086) does not operate. Thus, in this case, to prevent any damage to the system (100) without interrupting power generation, the system (100) configures the blade panel assemblies (108) to dynamically rotate and orient them to positions with the lowest angle of attack required to continue rotating at the desired direction. In such a scenario, all blade panel assemblies (108) may be oriented in a position substantially parallel to the wind direction. The term "substantially" is used here to indicate that there must be a small angle to create drag to maintain the turbine and system (100) in operating condition. Additionally, it should be noted that this can be easily done if the primary control devices (106) are a servo motor or a stepper motor or any other motors that can dynamically rotate the auxiliary rotary shaft (1084). This may also be done if one or more of the rotating sub-blade panels (1086) of any one, two or all of the blade assemblies are inoperative or not in use. This design may be useful when the present invention is used with conventional blade panels (without rotating sub-blade panels (1086)).

In addition to all the above description, the following are some operational differences compared to the prior art:

• The wind blows tangentially to the rotor rotation compared to axial in a known design

• Rotor thrust is generated by drag (most of it) compared to lift in prior art designs

• Drag force and lift force are additive in the direction of rotation compared to the drag at right angles in the known design

• The area covered by the blades is much smaller for the same performance compared to the known design

• The ratio of total thrust on the tower to power output is much better in the invented process.

• The blade panel assembly consists of multiple sub-blade panels compared to a single blade in the prior art design.

• The absolute angle of each blade panel assembly can vary up to 270 degrees or more with each rotation even at constant wind speed, compared to varying the pitch of all blades to accommodate the wind speed of a prior art design.

• Manufacturing, installation and transportation of wind panels are simple compared to prior art.

• Any one or both of the primary and secondary control devices proposed in the invention are capable of causing the invention to operate and achieve higher performance.
