Hydroelectric power station wind power booster - has oil pump supplying rams driving water pump pistons

摘要

The variable-output oil pump (1) is driven by the wind, its output being controlled by a plate (3) opposed to the wind. The hydraulic energy is received by a special water pump having two cylinders (7, 8) with pistons (9, 10) driven directly by rams (5, 6). The rams are synchronised by a rocker beam (28), actuating a semi-rotary distributor (21) delivering or receiving the ram oil. The rod of each ram (26, 27) can be common to it and the respective water pump piston.
