HYDROSTATIC LINEAR WIND MILL FOR WIND ENERGY HARNESSING APPLICATIONS

摘要

A linearly translating set of aerofoil blades guided along rigid supporting columns that build up hydraulic energy by drawing hydraulic working liquid from a low pressure reservoir and pushing it into a high pressure accumulator through pistons and hydraulic cylinders. The functioning of an intelligent controller senses the motion of the aerofoil blades and controls orientation with respect to the wind and the valves in the hydraulic circuit so that the aerofoil blades, irrespective of their forward or return motion, always draw liquid from the low pressure reservoir and push it into the high pressure accumulator is also described.
