DRIVE LINE FOR FLUID FLOW POWER ENGINE WITH SPEED GUIDANCE, POWER IMPACT REDUCTION AND SHORT-TERM ENERGY STORAGE

摘要

The drive train (1) has an input shaft (2) driven by a wind or water machine (3) or another flow machine and an output shaft (10) driving an electricity generator (11) and rotating at a higher revolution rate than the input shaft. The generator is connected to an electrical system with an essentially constant frequency. The drive train has a power branching gearbox (5) and a hydrodynamic control converter (12). If the input shaft revolution rate exceeds a defined threshold a reaction element (15) in the hydrodynamic control converter is adjusted so that a mean revolution rate is imposed on the input shaft that is a function of the torque taken from the input shaft.
