Wind turbine consisting of smaller wind turbines

Abstract

A large wind turbine consists of a series of smaller wind turbines. The smaller wind turbines are positioned in a suitable configuration. The entire construction is hollow and may be any shape on which a series of smaller wind turbines may be placed. The exterior of the construction may be covered with threads to prevent birds or animals from entering. In this way, wind enters the cage and encounters a series of waiting wind turbines, by which the kinetic energy of the wind is converted into electrical energy, thereby causing the cage to become a wind turbine cage. From the perspective of environment, this is a very safe and clean solution.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of electricity production. Background Technology

[0002] The technical problem solved by this invention is to generate electricity more easily and efficiently using wind energy.

[0003] This type of wind turbine, consisting of a series of smaller wind turbines, has not been mentioned on the internet. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Current problems with wind turbines globally include low efficiency, high cost, complex installation, and the large land area they occupy. In this solution, a series of smaller wind turbines are housed within a structure that, as a whole, forms the larger wind turbine. Wind entering this structure encounters the smaller turbines. The entire structure can resemble the column and beam construction of a building, but it can also have different construction methods; a key aspect is that the structure is hollow to allow wind to pass through and to house the series of smaller turbines. The exterior of the structure can be covered with yarn to prevent birds or animals from entering. In this way, wind enters an enclosed space and encounters a series of waiting wind turbines, converting the wind's kinetic energy into electrical energy; this enclosed space is similar to the enclosure of a windmill. From an ecological perspective, this is a very safe and clean solution. Attached Figure Description

[0005] The following figures illustrate one example of how the invention can be implemented (many other methods may exist):

[0006] Figure 1 This shows a view representing the structure of a wind turbine, which consists of smaller wind turbines. Detailed Implementation

[0007] A wind turbine consists of a series of smaller wind turbines mounted on a suitable structure. This is a completely new method of utilizing wind energy, thus offering many possibilities for different constructions on which various wind turbines can be placed. This structure can be built in many ways. The simplest example ( Figure 1): Construction made only of columns 1 and beams 3. This creates voids between the columns and the beams. Wind passes through these voids. Small wind turbines 2 that convert the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy are placed on the beams 3. In this example, there are no other elements than the columns 1, the beams 3, and the wind turbines 2 placed on the beams. These small wind turbines 2 placed on the beams 3 can be of different types: with vertical axis or horizontal axis, or any other type. The entire structure together with the array of small wind turbines 2 represents a large wind turbine. Example: In such a construction the distance between the columns 1 is set to 6 meters, and the distance between the beams 3 is also set to 6 meters (nothing else than the columns 1 and the beams 3). A wind turbine (wind turbine) that covers a space of 3 meters around it in size can be placed on the beams - leaving enough free space for the columns, the beams, and the other installed wind turbines to prevent collisions during rotation. Since everything is hollow, wind passes through the structure and drives the wind turbines. If the construction is stable and solid, the wind turbines receive kinetic energy from the wind, convert it into electrical energy, and remain stable.

[0008] The land (terrain) 4 on which such a construction is placed can be anywhere where the wind is strong enough. However, places where the wind is stronger are more common in mountainous areas. It is preferable that the ground (lower) part of such a construction is not used to place wind turbines, so that animals can pass between the columns without disturbance. The construction can be extended upwards, because at higher altitudes the wind is stronger and more efficient - while the impact on the environment is also minimal.

[0009] This is just one example. However, it is a completely new system for utilizing wind energy, so many possibilities are offered for different constructions on which various wind turbines can be placed. Examples:

[0010] • Smaller size wind turbines can be placed on the above-mentioned 6 meters, so that several or even more smaller wind turbines can be assembled within these 6 meters.

[0011] • The distance can be both greater and smaller than the above-mentioned 6 meters.

[0012] • Various construction shapes are possible, including different structural elements, which can be square, rectangular, circular, or any other geometric shape, as long as the wind can pass through the structure.

[0013] • In addition to the columns and the beams, wind deflectors, barriers, or anything else can be installed to better utilize the kinetic energy of the wind, but this is not necessary and is not a key feature of the present concept.

[0014] • Space can be left between the wind turbines in the construction for safe movement of personnel (which can be additionally protected), control rooms or other rooms can be built, and a fence (which can be a variant of a wire fence) can be placed around the entire structure to prevent birds, animals, or any other objects from entering. Any other elements can be added if deemed necessary.

[0015] • The wind turbines do not have to be placed only on the main beams; they can be placed on the columns, on the auxiliary beams, or in any other sufficiently efficient manner within the construction framework.

[0016] Such a construction, in which the wind turbines are housed, offers several advantages over the wind turbines that are currently in widespread use. These advantages include simpler and less costly construction, easy system upgrade, high efficiency of wind kinetic energy utilization, and high efficiency of space utilization for placing the wind turbines.

[0017] The entire construction jointly represents a larger wind turbine. The construction is similar to a cage into which the wind enters and whose kinetic energy is then converted here into electrical energy very efficiently, so the construction can be called The Wind Turbine Cage. The entire system can be easily expanded. This means that the user can start building such a wind turbine and can very quickly start working. Later, the system can be expanded, elements can be changed, and a large system can be created from a small one.

[0018] Such a system allows the use of some floors in a high-rise building for wind turbines - especially on the top floors, because the wind is stronger at higher altitudes. For example, a 30-story building can install wind turbines on the 26th to 28th floors, thus producing electricity for its own needs.

[0019] The typical problem of wind turbines still exists: it is necessary to find a place with sufficient wind (mainly mountainous terrain, mountain tops, and passes). Here, the system will be significantly superior to the systems currently used worldwide. If a good, windy place is found, for the classic system a smaller number of wind turbines (wind generators, wind turbines) can be placed there; regardless of how good those wind turbines placed there are, with the system described in the invention, more electricity can be produced from the place than with the classic system, because a very high structure can be built and many smaller wind turbines can be installed on it. For example, with a good structure, electricity production can be increased by a factor of 10.

[0020] It is recommended that such a structure be at least 100 meters high and have at least 20 levels (layers) in the vertical direction. An example relating this to the land area on which such a wind turbine could be placed is: in an area of ​​500 meters by 50 meters, if the location is windy, it could provide electricity to 50,000 people. This largely depends on the height of the structure; if the structure is built tall enough, it can generate even more electricity.

[0021] The smaller wind turbine placed in this configuration and together forming a system representing the larger wind turbine can be a wind turbine with a horizontal axis, a wind turbine with a vertical axis, or a completely new variant being developed globally, and therefore can even be equipped with solar cells and any device that converts any type of energy into electricity.

[0022] Importantly, this system is likely the most environmentally safe of all. It poses no harm to birds and animals and produces no pollution. The first stage, starting from the ground, can remain open, allowing animals free passage, and the entire system extends upwards to a point where it hardly disturbs any living organisms. At higher altitudes, winds are stronger, and the system is more efficient. The entire structure can be enclosed with silk threads to prevent birds and animals from entering the interior.

[0023] Best way to carry out the invention

[0024] Such wind turbines can be implemented in various ways with different configurations; the key concept lies in mounting an array of smaller wind turbines on a suitable structure. In this way, a wind turbine composed of smaller wind turbines is obtained.

[0025] The simplest example ( Figure 1 (This is a structure made solely of column 1 and beam 3. This creates gaps between the column and beam. Wind passes through these gaps. Small wind turbines 2, which convert the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy, are placed on beam 3. In this example, there are no other components besides column 1, beam 3, and the wind turbines 2 placed on the beam. These small wind turbines 2 placed on beam 3 can be of different types: types with a vertical axis or a horizontal axis, or any other type.)

[0026] Example: In such a structure, the distance between columns 1 is set to 6 meters, and the distance between beams 3 is also set to 6 meters (there is nothing else besides columns 1 and beams 3). A wind turbine (wind turbine) with dimensions covering a space of 3 meters around it can be placed on the beams - leaving enough space for columns, beams, and other installed wind turbines to prevent collisions during rotation.

[0027] Industrial applicability

[0028] The invention is intended for the production of electric power.

[0029] The invention makes it possible to produce electric power efficiently and simply in an environmentally friendly manner.

[0030] It is necessary to find locations with a lot of wind. The potential of such locations is great, but is not currently being fully exploited. It is necessary to make use of these locations. In the manner described, very efficient use can be made of these locations.
