FLOATING VERTICAL AXIS WIND TURBINE WITH ROTATION BY GYROSCOPIC EFFECT OF COUNTER ROTATING PAIRS OF TURBINES

摘要

599339 A floating wind energy system (2) with at least two vertical wind turbines (6A, 6B) is disclosed. A multipoint mooring system couples the floating module (4) to the seabed with at least two lines (36A, 36B) positioned at locations around the floating module. A rotation system can include induced gyroscopic torque from counter-rotating wind turbines where the turbines are arranged in counter rotating pairs that can operate at different speeds.
