Power Transfer Station

摘要

A power transfer system comprising a turbine for capturing wind energy; a plurality of driven devices which can be coupled to the turbine to be driven thereby; and a controller adapted to monitor a parameter relating to the energy output of the turbine and selectively load or unload one or more of the plurality of driven devices to maximise the efficiency of the turbine and maximise efficient power transfer from the turbine to one or more of the driven devices. The present invention efficiently power matches the available turbine energy with the energy capacity of the driven devices to thereby ensure the turbine and driven devices operate within an optimum range to minimise energy wastage and increase energy transfer efficiency.

1. A power transfer system comprising:
a turbine for capturing wind energy; a wind parameter measuring device for measuring at least one parameter of the wind adjacent said turbine; at least one driven device coupleable to the turbine to be driven thereby; and a controller adapted to monitor at least one turbine parameter relating to the energy output of the turbine and selectively load or unload one or more of the plurality of driven devices based on at least one said turbine parameter and at least one said wind parameter to maximise the efficiency of the turbine and the efficient power transfer from the turbine to one or more of the driven devices.
