DIRECT DRIVE DISTRIBUTED GENERATOR INTEGRATED WITH STAYED ROTOR

摘要

A wind turbine power generation system incorporates a turbine rotor having a plurality of blades extending from a hub with each blade having an inner blade and an outer blade. A collar is provided on each blade with the inner blade extending between the hub and collar and the outer blade extending from the collar. A generator ring is carried by the collars and includes a generator rotor attached to the collars to rotate with the turbine rotor. A stator ring is supported from the generator rotor by a low friction interface for relative rotation with the generator rotor. A torque stay system prevents rotation of the stator ring for generation of power from the rotating turbine rotor as a linear distributed generator.
