WIND TURBINE SYSTEM

摘要

A wind turbine system (16) for producing compressed air from wind energy. The wind turbine harvests energy from wind to produce mechanical energy. A compressor (22) receives mechanical energy from the wind turbine to compress air to an elevated pressure. Thermal energy may be removed from the air, and the air is stored in a storage devices (10), such that the air may be released from the storage device on demand.
