SU43367A1 - The method of operation of the wind power installation to obtain and accumulate compressed air - Google Patents

Description

The proposed method of operating a wind power installation to obtain and accumulate compressed air is aimed at fully absorbing any wind force, regardless of direction, to turn it into operation, and then using compressed air as an engine for windlessness, directing it to wind blades.

The drawing shows a schematic view of a wind power installation for implementing a method for producing and storing compressed air.

The Vetrosilov plant is made in the form of a high tower, above which the wind to 1, made of blades of a certain profile, is rigidly fixed on the vertical axis.

Regardless of the direction, the wind meets the resistance of the blades of the wind and those of them that will not have a streamlined side to the direction of the wind (and such will be at all positions) perceive the force of its pressure, causing the wind to come into rotational motion and 2 transmits the rotation to the shaft 3. In turn, the shaft 3 through the cable transmission 4 drives the crankshaft 5, from

which communicates the movement of the air injection pumps 6 and 7. Through these pumps, air is forced into the tanks 8 and 9 up to the prescribed pressure. The compressed air obtained in the manner described above is used for the operation of air turbines, air drives, etc., from which, instead of an unevenly working wind force, quite uniform work is obtained, turning the latter into a necessary kind of energy — electric, mechanical, etc.

 The battery compressed air from tanks 8 and 9 can be directed to the wind blades by means of pipes 10 and 11 and thus be used as an engine during periods of partial and complete windlessness. Also, in the case of practical feasibility, some of the wind energy can be converted directly into electric energy by means of a dynamo 12 (in the case of the possibility of including additional load in addition to injection pumps).

The accumulation of wind energy by the described method does not present any difficulty and is simple and widely available, since the arrangement of the tanks is not associated with technically complex structures. They should be provided only with the ability to withstand high pressures, which is easily achieved by means of reinforced concrete, made tanks in the form of boxes in the earth envelope.

Taking compressed air directly to turbines from tanks may be practically unprofitable due to excessive pressure, etc .; in this case, it will be necessary to set up chambers that reduce the pressure and bring it to the required limits.

Accumulation of wind energy by the described method is possible not only under the condition of stationary wind turbines, but also under conditions of constant movement (on ships, trains, etc.); in this case, it is necessary to set up a metal tank rather than a reinforced concrete tank. Thus, by enclosing wind energy in a certain space in the form of compressed air, it can be used for any purpose, at any time and in any place.

The subject matter of the invention.

The method of operation of the wind power installation for the production and storage of compressed air, characterized in that the compressed air is directed onto the blades of the wind, in order to use it as an engine with no wind.
