Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wind power engine technology, and in particular to a nacelle bulkhead for a vertical axis wind power engine. Background Technology
[0002] Wind power, as a clean and renewable energy source, has experienced rapid development.
[0003] Currently, the power generation capacity of three-bladed horizontal axis wind turbines has reached 15MW and above, and the nacelle installation height is mostly above 100 meters; the rotor weight of 5MW horizontal axis wind turbines is mostly above 100 tons, the nacelle is mostly above 100 tons, and a single tower section is mostly above 50 tons. The high height and heavy weight determine that the center of gravity of the horizontal axis wind turbine is located high, which causes inconvenience in installation and maintenance, and increases the difficulty and cost of construction.
[0004] Compared to horizontal axis wind turbines, vertical axis wind turbines have a lower nacelle installation height, with blades rotating around a vertical axis, resulting in a lower center of gravity, reduced high-altitude operation requirements for installation and maintenance, and the elimination of the need for a yaw system to adjust the blades for wind alignment. While vertical axis wind turbines offer numerous advantages and theoretical benefits, most current models are small and come in various styles. Large vertical axis wind turbines have not yet been commercialized. The inventors have identified the main reason as the technology of vertical axis wind turbines not yet being adequately addressed. Large-scale construction makes stable operation difficult, and the return on investment cannot yet reach the level of horizontal axis wind turbines. Therefore, further technological advancements in vertical axis wind turbines are needed to ensure stable operation on land, nearshore, and offshore, which remains a pressing engineering challenge. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the difficulty in achieving stable operation of vertical axis wind turbines after they are scaled up, and to provide a nacelle wall for a vertical axis wind turbine.
[0006] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0007] A nacelle wall for a vertical axis wind turbine is characterized by comprising: a tubular structure (1), a top flange (2), and a bottom flange (3), wherein the bottom of the tubular structure (1) is provided with a bottom flange (3), and the top is provided with a top flange (2), the tubular structure (1) is coaxial with the top flange (2) and the bottom flange (3), and the tubular structure (1) has an opening.
[0008] Book invention The advantages and beneficial effects are:
[0009] 1. It helps vertical axis wind turbines generate power in the megawatt range or above.
[0010] 2. It helps to ensure the long-term stable operation of the wind turbines used in large-scale vertical axis wind turbines. Attached Figure Description
