Apparatus for generating electricity from wind power

摘要

An apparatus for generating electricity from wind power includes a turbine having an impeller rotatable about a substantially vertical axis and having a plurality of blades, a wind redirecting element which redirects the wind around the blades, a generator connected with the turbine and generating electricity in response to rotation of the impeller about the substantially vertical axis under an action of wind, a wind directing element which directs the wind into an interior of the apparatus, and a wind guiding device located under the turbine and guiding the wind substantially upwardly toward the turbine.

1. An apparatus for generating electricity from wind power, comprising a turbine having an impeller rotatable about a substantially vertical axis and having a plurality of blades, said turbine being located in an upper part of the apparatus; a wind redirecting element which circumferentially surrounds said blades of said impeller at its height and redirects the wind around said blades and is located in the upper part of the apparatus and substantially around the blades of the impeller; a generator connected with said turbine and generating electricity in response to rotation of said impeller about a substantially vertical axis under an action of wind, said generator having a vertical shaft which is coaxial with the impeller of the turbine; a vertically extending wind directing element which directs the wind into an interior of the apparatus; and an upwardly extending wind guiding device located under said turbine and guiding the wind substantially upwardly toward said turbine, wherein said wind directing element and said wing guiding device extend upwardly substantially over a same height and along each other towards said wind redirecting element and said turbine.
