<p>A system for generating electrical energy using wind power. The system includes an entrance wind augmenter that is a fixed structure supported above the ground that defines an inlet opening (14, 14a) defining an inlet area, an outlet opening defining an outlet area that is substantially smaller than the inlet area, and a plurality of fully or partially closed side walls (7, 16), at least two such side walls (7, 16) being angled from the horizontal so as to create an inwardly-tapered funnel. There is an electricity generation system defined by a fixed structure supported above the ground that supports a number of generating arrays (90) located downstream of the outlet opening (51) of the entrance wind augmenter (12). Each array (90) carries a number of wind turbines (92-95) mounted on a rotatable shaft (98), and an electrical generator (100) having a rotor that is turned by the shaft (98).</p> |
