Wind turbine

摘要

A wind turbine includes a turbine housing, a turbine wheel system housed in the turbine housing, and a wind power converting system for converting kinetic energy generated by the turbine wheel system into electrical energy. The turbine wheel system includes a turbine rotor being driven to rotate circumferentially around an interior of the turbine housing, and a rail frame guiding a rotational movement of a turbine rotor. The wind turbine not only allows airflow to move across and through the turbine wheel system but also allows airflow to be directed and exhausted to maximize and control energy generation. The wind turbine is able to efficiently convert wind power to electrical power via a turbine wheel system which allows for the load generated to be distributed across the circumference of the turbine wheel system instead of localized in the center as the traditional wind turbine.

1. A wind turbine, comprising:
a turbine wheel system; and a wind power converting system; said turbine wheel system comprising a supporting frame, a turbine rotor supported by said supporting frame, and a rail frame coupled to said supporting frame to guide a circumferentially rotational movement of said turbine rotor, wherein said turbine rotor comprises a plurality of blades spacedly supported at a circumference of said turbine rotor, wherein said turbine rotor is driven to rotate along said rail frame in response to wind force exerting at said blades for generating kinetic energy; said wind power converting system comprising a generator for converting said kinetic energy of said turbine rotor into electrical energy or a motor module for converting said kinetic energy into mechanical energy.
