The intention is to improve the process of using a hydropneumatic system to generate power from wind energy in the form of kinetic energy transferred to a hydraulic flow, which in turn enables production of electricity by actuating a hydraulic motor/turbine. Basically, the system employs a combination of standard, commercial components which could be built entirely with existing industrial devices but where genuine components are specially designed to better fit with the Process and to make it innovative so that: it works efficiently, where other previous attempts and patents have not been able to prove any real production or remain pure theoretical devices; and so that it works at higher capacity utilizations at lower and higher wind speeds than conventional wind turbine technology. Conceptually, the invention represents a Process referred to as a "Wind Hydro-Generator", which has been developed to use a "Wind Rotor" (the 'Energy Collector') to generate a torque, rather than to simply convert the Wind Power into a rotary motion and exploit the velocity. The torque is converted directly by a "Hydraulic Generator" into a water flow (therefore comparable to a hydraulic pump) whose kinetic force is stabilized by a "Pressure Vessel" using compressed air to amortize the variances of the gusts of the wind, thus stabilizing and steadying the power delivered by the water flow to the "Hydraulic Motor/Turbine", over reasonable periods of time. |
