Development of an Electrical Generator and Electrolysis Cell for a Wind Energy Conversion System.

摘要

The report describes research whose purpose is threefold: (1) To develop and build a working generator system in the 10to 20kilowatt range (suitable for use with a windmill) which delivers standard power (110/220volt,single phase, 60Hz alternating current). The system makes use of field/modulated generator techniques;to develop and build a working high pressure moderate temperature electrolysis storage system,in the three (3) kilowatt range;and the third objective is to construct, debug,and gain significant operational experience on a 'windmill farm.'Included are reports on the following topics:Economical and technical aspects of wind generation systems;economics of solar and wind energy systems for large scale power generation;economical prospects for large scale utilization of solar and wind energy;and operation of parallel-bridge rectifier systems with capacitors at bridge-inputs.
