摘要:
The purpose of the invention is to protect, in a horizontal axis wind turbine with an exhaust aperture for exhausting air from within the nacelle, the exhaust aperture and the internal structures from storm winds through facing the exhaust aperture away from the storm wind, even when storm winds are received from all directions relative to the nacelle. A rotary duct is attached to the nacelle so as to be able to rotate freely in the yaw direction, and is rotated in the yaw direction in accordance with changes in the wind direction. The exhaust aperture is provided at a position that changes direction depending on the rotation of the rotary duct in the yaw direction. By rotating the rotary duct in the yaw direction so that the exhaust aperture will face the downwind side in accordance with changes in the wind direction, the exhaust aperture can be faced away from storm winds, even when storm winds are received from all directions in relation to the nacelle.

A buoy for generating electrical energy from an upward heave resulting from a passing wave is provided. The buoy including: a body; a first device associated with the body to which a motion of the heave is transferred; and a second device associated with the body to which the motion is intermittently transferred from the first device. A buoy is also provided for generating electrical energy from a pitch/roll resulting from the passing wave where the first device is associated with the body to which a motion of the pitch/roll is transferred and the second device is associated with the body to which the motion is intermittently transferred from the first device.

A buoy for generating electrical energy from an roll/pitch motion resulting from a passing wave. The buoy including: a body; a pendulum member rotatably disposed on the body at a first end of the pendulum member; a pendulum mass disposed at a second end of the pendulum member; an exciter mass positioned on the pendulum member between the first and second ends; and one or more generators for generating electrical energy, the one or more generators being positioned in the body such that swinging of the pendulum member due to the roll/pitch motion causes a portion of the exciter mass to engage the one or more generators to generate the electrical energy.

The purpose of the invention is to protect, in a horizontal axis wind turbine with an exhaust aperture for exhausting air from within the nacelle, the exhaust aperture and the internal structures from storm winds through facing the exhaust aperture away from the storm wind, even when storm winds are received from all directions relative to the nacelle. A rotary duct 4 is attached to the nacelle 1 so as to be able to rotate freely in the yaw direction, and is rotated in the yaw direction in accordance with changes in the wind direction. The exhaust aperture 4a is provided at a position that changes direction depending on the rotation of the rotary duct 4 in the yaw direction. By rotating the rotary duct 4 in the yaw direction so that the exhaust aperture 4a will face the downwind side in accordance with changes in the wind direction, the exhaust aperture 4a can be faced away from storm winds, even when storm winds are received from all directions in relation to the nacelle 1.

A wind turbine power production system with a closed loop hydrostatic transmission system for the transfer of mechanical energy from a wind turbine rotor to an electric generator. The hydrostatic transmission system comprises a closed loop with a pump and a motor connected by tubes or pipes. The assembly of the wind turbine rotor and the pump is arranged for rotating about a vertical axis above a swivel arranged for transferring fluid to and from the motor, fluid reservoir and other components arranged below the swivel.

A rotor blade for a wind turbine is disclosed. The rotor blade may generally include a shell having a pressure side and a suction side. The shell may define an opening in at least one of the pressure and suction sides. The rotor blade may also include a base and at least two surface features spaced apart along the outer perimeter of the base. The base may generally be movable relative to the opening between a recessed position and an actuated position. Additionally, the base may be rotatable within the shell in order to adjust which of the surface features is received within the opening when the base is moved to the actuated position.

The invention relates to a rotor blade for a wind power plant comprising a rotor blade body, wherein the rotor blade body encloses a hollow space, wherein the rotor blade body comprises a penetration for draining the hollow space, and a functional element, wherein the functional element is displaceably connected to the rotor blade body and is disposed at the penetration. According to the invention, the functional element can be transferred from a closed position into an open position, wherein the functional element can be displaced purely by translation. Improved drainage is thereby achieved and clogging of the drain is prevented, with reduced noise production.
