WIND-DRIVEN SAIL-ASSISTED POWERPLANT (VARIANTS), THE SELF-ORIENTING PLATFORM OF A WIND-DRIVEN SAIL-ASSISTED POWERPLANT AND A WIND SYSTEM.

摘要

The invention relates to power engineering and can be used for converting wind energy substantially into electric energy. The inventive power plant comprises at least two infinitely closed flexible transmissions, which form an external traction contour, at least two infinitely closed rigid guides provided with at least three rolling elements which mounted on each guide and form an internal contour and at least three sailing elements, each of which is connected to the opposite flexible transmissions of the external contour by means of one yard and to the opposite rolling elements of the internal contour by the other yard, the traction and/or rotating elements of the external and/or internal contour being kinematically connected to a power generator. In the other embodiment, infinitely closed flexible transmissions are substituted for closed rigid guides provided with rolling elements. The self-orienting platform of the powerplant comprises a mounting frame which is provided with the above-mentioned powerplant and a casing or side flaps which automatically orient the platform in a wind direction. The invention makes it possible to increase the performance characteristics of the simply designed and reliable powerplant.
