Wind-driven power unit - has high level hydraulic pump operating low level water pump to lift water to hydroelectric basin

摘要

The power unit is intended for converting wind energy into mechanical energy and using this to pump water from a low-level to a high-level storage reservoir, which is then used to generate power on its return to the lower level. The wind energy converter comprises a wind driven rotor which is arranged at the higher level and operates (via 7,8) a twin- cylinder (1) reciprocating hydraulic pump connected via two hydraulic oil lines (3) to a hydraulically operated twin-cylinder water pump at the lower level. Each cylinder has the same hydraulic fluid capacity.
