A prime mover that is powered by the energy of a fluid is provided. Such a prime mover may include a first fairing, a second fairing spaced apart from the first fairing to define a gap therebetween and a blade assembly mounted on a shaft that extends between the first and second fairings. The first and second fairings each have a curved peripheral edge for guiding a fluid into the gap at an increased velocity. When the fluid flows into the gap it contacts the blade assembly to thereby rotate the blade assembly about an axis that is defined by the shaft. The rotation of the blade assembly may be used to generate power in a power generator. The prime mover may be mounted on a cell phone tower and used to generate electricity for powering components of the tower and/or for providing electricity to the power grid.

The object of the invention is a cross hatching structured mast (3, 3'), the lower part (3') of which is connected to a base (4), and which is triangular or multi-angular in cross-section in the transverse direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and the upper part of which mast (3, 3') is comprised of two or more modules (300) arranged on top of one another. The module (300) is comprised of panel-type modular elements (30, 31, 32, 33, 34 and 36) removably attached in conjunction with one another by mechanical fastening elements (50, 51), which include a corner panel (30) located in each corner of the module (300). The outer edges (30a) form the corners of the module (300) over the entire longitudinal distance of the module (300) and their inner edges (300b) extend over a distance towards the centre of the module (300). In conjunction with both sides of the outer edges (30a) of each corner panel (30) are connected two pivot panels (31), on the inner edges (31b) of which are arranged bending parts. They are bent with respect to the plane determined by the corner panel (30) into a bending angle (α) in opposite directions. Support panels (32) are connected in the longitudinal direction of the module (300) in conjunction with the first and/or second end of each bending part (31), whereupon the outer surfaces (32c) of the support panels (32) of two adjacent corners pass through the same plane. Elongated connecting panels (33) are connected at both ends (33a, 33b) to the corresponding support panels (32) of the respective two adjacent corners. The reinforcing elements (36) can be fitted in conjunction with the outer edge of each corner panel and the outer edge of each pivot panel.

A wind turbine (10) has a nacelle (14) mounted atop a tower (12), with a support system (24) configured around a base portion (13) of the tower. The support system includes a plurality of support fins (26) spaced radially around the base portion. Each of the support fins has a continuous header member (28) secured to the tower and a continuous face member (34) extending radially outward and downward from the header member towards the ground. The support fins include a web (52) extending between the header member and face member. The support fins extend from the tower with a length and at an acute extension angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the tower so as to provide vertical and lateral support around the circumference of the tower.

A wind turbine (10) comprises a vane wheel (12) having a rotational axis (18) and a plurality of vanes (20), the rotational axis (18) being essentially horizontal and essentially perpendicular to the direction of wind. The wind turbine (10) further comprises and a guiding element (16) for guiding incoming wind onto the vanes (20) of the vane wheel (12). The guiding element (16) is wing-shaped and has an essentially straight slow side (22) and a curved fast side (24), the fast side (24) comprising a curvature forcing incoming wind to accelerate over the fast side (24), wherein the guiding element (16) is arranged in such a way as to guide incoming wind from its fast side (24) onto the vanes (20) of the vane wheel (12).

A wind turbine is described comprising two counter-rotating rotors, each rotor comprising an axle (5) carrying a series of blades (1). The rotors are mounted between two opposing aerofoils (2). The aerofoils (2) and the rotors together being mounted on a turntable (3). The turntable (3) is in turn mounted on a static housing (4) that contains gearing (6) and drive (8) mechanisms that are driven by the action of wind on the rotors and further drive a generator that generates electrical power.

The invention relates inter alia to a tower for a wind turbine, with an upper tower portion (2) and a lower tower portion (4, 4'), wherein the upper tower portion (2) comprises a tubular tower (6), wherein the lower tower portion (4, 4') comprises a lattice tower (8, 8'). The object of allowing improved ergonomics and work safety and making it possible to obtain a structural design with optimized forces is achieved by the lower tower portion (4, 4') comprising a central tube (10, 10') arranged centrally within the lattice tower (8, 8'), and by the central tube (10,') having a smaller diameter, at least in certain portions, than at least part of the tubular tower of the upper tower portion.

The present invention describes a floating yawing spar buoy current/tidal turbine. The spar includes a spreader above the rotor(s) with the spreader tips connected to fore and aft cable yokes that transition to opposing mooring lines connected to anchors on the seabed. The spreader comprises a yaw motor, which drives gears that engage with a ring gear fixed to the outer perimeter of the spar. Flow direction sensors activate the yaw motor for automatic yaw adjustments of the spar turbine. As tidal direction changes, the entire spar and turbine are yawed to maintain the rotor plane facing the tidal flow. The bottom end of the spar extends to approximately the bottom sweep of the rotor plane and contains a winched vertical mooring line, extending to the seabed and attached to a gravity or suction pile anchor. The turbine drive train can be accessed for servicing from the surface via hatches and ladders within the spar to enter the drive train and generating system vessel. The spar turbine is deployed by towing it in a horizontal position. At the operating site, the yokes are connected to the forward and aft mooring lines and the winch line is connected to the gravity anchor. The winch inside the keel draws the bottom end of the spar down and may be assisted by flooding the keel to reach a vertical position for the spar. The winch is then locked to retain required operating depth, or can actively control operating depth in areas of wide tide level range.
摘要:
A method for installing a wind turbine comprises establishing a substructure, the substructure comprising at least one pile extending upwards and the at least one pile being part of a primary structure of the substructure, establishing a support of a secondary structure on the at least one pile, mounting of fittings to the secondary structure, the mounting of the fittings to the secondary structure preferably being established by welding or bolting, and not mounting fittings to at least one of the at least one pile being part of the primary structure. A method may alternatively comprise mounting a wind turbine tower to the at least one pile being part of the primary structure, and the secondary structure constituting an intermediate structure between the at least one pile and the wind turbine tower. Even in the alternative, a method may comprise the mounting of the secondary structure to at least one intermediate tubular section being part of the primary structure and mounting the wind turbine tower to the at least one intermediate tubular section.
