SEA-BASED WINDMILL-ELECTRIC GENERATING PLANT

摘要

wind-power engineering; wind-to-electrical energy conversion under open sea conditions. SUBSTANCE: plant has anchored watercraft with windwheel mounted on its deck and with inclined generator drive shaft; novelty is that counterweight is hinged on gumball in deck opening in center of anchored watercraft; mentioned counterpoise is fixed to vertical shaft of windwheel in the form of Darier rotor kinematically coupled via gear transmission with convertible DC machine supplied with power from off-line source such as on-board wave-electric power plant when running as motor. EFFECT: enhanced power capacity of plant. 1 dwg
