Main structural
components:
- Turbine – composed of three blades, six arms that connect the blades and the
shaft, and a shaft (centre post), which connects the arms and the generator.
This component converts kinetic wind energy into mechanical rotational energy.
- Generator – a low-speed direct-connected permanent magnet synchronous
generator that converts the rotational mechanical energy of the turbine rotor
into electric energy. It produces electricity from the rotation of the turbine
rotor after it converts potential energy in the wind into electricity
- Power electronics including the inverter, controller and diversion (dump)
load – these are the technologies associated with the efficient conversion,
control and conditioning of electric power by static means from its available
input form into the desired electrical output form. The inverter is extremely
innovative, as it is tailor-made and programmed specifically for the VAWT, but
can be configured to accept additional energy sources (e.g., solar,
micro-hydro), creating a hybrid renewable energy system.
Other
characteristics include:
- Controlled electro-mechanical brake – assembled inside the generator
- Micro-vibrations of the blades for “de-icing” effect
- The turbine top has provisions for installing a lightning rod
- Optional batteries can store or provide energy based on the consumer’s use.
