Abstract: A flat-packable wind turbine assembly kit, includes a flat-packed bendable airfoil having an upper edge and a lower edge. The flat-packed bendable airfoil is capable of assuming a predefined curvature upon assembly. The flat-packed bendable airfoil includes upper connecting elements distributed along the upper edge and lower connecting elements distributed along the lower edge of the flat-packed bendable airfoil. The flat-packed bendable airfoil also includes a flat-packed upper plate including an upper mating orifices distributed in a contour corresponding to the predefined curvature. Further, the flat-packed bendable airfoil includes a flat-packed lower plate including lower mating orifices distributed in the contour corresponding to the predefined curvature. Thus, upon assembly when the upper connecting elements are connected to the upper mating orifices and when the lower connecting elements are connected to the lower mating orifices, the flat-packed bendable airfoil assumes the predefined curvature.

Abstract: A support system may secure a wind turbine above an angled roof. The angled roof may have a first angled surface, an opposite second angled surface, and a peak between the first angled surface and the second angled surface. The support surface may have a first weighted ballast located along a portion of the first angled surface and a second weighted ballast located along a portion of the second angled surface. The support system may have a connector extending between and connecting a portion of the first weighted ballast and a portion of the second weighted ballast. The connector may extend over the peak. The support system may have a mounting portion on the connector for securing a wind turbine to the connector. The first weighted ballast and the second weighted ballast may be sized and weighted to maintain the wind turbine above the peak during wind conditions.

Abstract: An apparatus for mounting green energy sources on a flat roof, includes multiple roof trusses for mounting atop the roof. The roof trusses support beams on which wind turbines are mounted. The roof trusses are secured to the roof with weighted bases. In addition to supporting wind turbines, the roof trusses may also support solar panels angled relative to a pitch of the roof.

Abstract: An industrial structure for wind energy harvesting includes an industrial housing requiring venting and a vent outlet, An industrial fan associated with the vent outlet evacuates exhaust, forming an exhaust flow zone opposite the vent outlet. The exhaust flow zone is defined by first and second boundaries extending from the industrial structure on first and second sides of the vent outlet. At least one wind turbine is positioned external to the vent outlet including a turbine blade portion and an electric generator. The at least one wind turbine is positioned with respect to the vent outlet such that during each rotational cycle, the blade portion is partially within the exhaust flow zone and partially outside the exhaust flow zone straddling the first boundary.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media including instructions for coordinated braking of a plurality of geographically-associated fluid turbines. Coordinated braking of a plurality of geographically-associated fluid turbines includes accessing memory storing information indicative of a tolerance threshold for an operating parameter associated with the plurality of geographically-associated fluid turbines; receiving information from a sensor indicative of the operating parameter for a particular fluid turbine among the plurality of geographically-associated fluid turbines; comparing the information indicative of the operating parameter for the particular fluid turbine with the tolerance threshold; determining, based on the comparison, whether the operating parameter for the particular fluid turbine deviates from the tolerance threshold; and upon a determination that the operating parameter for the particular fluid turbine deviates from the tolerance threshold, sending a braking signal to each of the geographically-associated fluid turbines to slow each of the geographically-associated fluid turbines.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for determining a power curve for a fluid turbine. Determining a power curve for a fluid turbine includes receiving an indication of a fluid speed condition; if a predetermined load compliant with an MPPT protocol for the fluid turbine operating under the fluid speed condition is available, obtaining the predetermined load; and applying the predetermined load to the fluid turbine, thereby adjusting a rotational velocity in accordance with the MPPT protocol and the fluid speed condition; if the predetermined load is unavailable, applying a plurality of candidate loads in an iterative manner in accordance with the MPPT protocol and the fluid speed condition; determining an MPPT-compliant load that generates greater power; applying the MPPT-compliant load to the fluid turbine; and storing the MPPT-compliant load in association with the fluid speed condition for subsequent application.

CPC classification number: F01D5/303
Abstract: A fluid turbine may include a vertically-orientable shaft having at least one opening extending transversely therethrough, a first blade portion configured for vertical orientation on first side of the shaft, a second blade portion configured for vertical orientation on a second opposite side of the shaft, at least one rod extending through the shaft opening and connectable at a first end to the first blade portion and at a second end to the second blade portion. A reinforcing sleeve may extend through the shaft opening and may be interposed between the rod and the shaft opening for reinforcing at least one of the shaft, the at least one shaft opening, or the rod against forces exerted by the first and second blade portions when fluid impacts the first and second blade portions.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media including instructions for synchronizing a plurality of geographically-associated fluid turbines. Synchronizing a plurality of geographically-associated fluid turbines includes receiving first signals indicative of a phase of a rotational cycle of first rotating blades of a first turbine configured to generate a downstream fluid flow; receiving second signals indicative of a phase of a rotational cycle of second rotating blades of a second turbine configured to receive at least a portion of the downstream fluid flow and generate a differential power output; determining from the first and second signals that greater aggregate power output is achievable through blade phase coordination; determining a phase correction between the first and second rotating blades based on the first and second signals to achieve the greater aggregate power output; calculating coordinating signals based on the phase correction; and outputting the coordinating signals to impose the phase correction.
