The already patented Madson Wind Turbine System (MWTS) embodies a wind turbine system for the collection of wind energy, compression of air (air or gas) in multi-stages to high pressure, for High Pressure - Compressed Air Energy Storage (HP-CAES), decompression of air in multi- stages, cooling of hot compressed air, harvesting of compression heat for heating cold decompressed air to increase volume &air flow for more efficient generation of electricity. This new invention constitutes a significant improvement of MWTS thru improved: ability to resist typhoons, cyclones& hurricanes, harvesting & directing hub area wind to the propellers, streamlining of wind for more efficient use by downstream wind turbines, harvesting of compression heat to heat decompressed cold air, simplification of equipment& construction by reducing the number of or combining the function of components, such as, the functions of transfer & regulator valves in previous inventions for lower capital & maintenance costs & greater efficiency; the introduction of new beneficial components, such as, uncloggable transfer valves; the avoidance of hazards, such as, bird strikes & nuisances, such as, flutter, pulse & vertigo and other improvements for the generation, storage and dispatch of electricity. This improvement also includes an HP-CAES Reserve Tank, constructed with Bolted Joints, such that it can be assembled quickly & cheaply without welding, de-stressing & spherical or thick plates; the elimination of, at least, one (1 ) built-in derrick and the development of self-regulating controls for feathering the propellers adapted to a Fan Wind Turbines instead of the conventional long aspect ratio sails (propellers).
