Title:
How to produce electric energy by the wind power system and the system which change energy by movement on the rail of the module towed to Kite
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP6105080
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A wind system (1) for converting energy is described, comprising: at least one kite (2) adapted to be driven from ground immersed in a wind current (W); at least one module (5) adapted to translate on a rail (6; 7) placed next to ground, the module (5) being connected through a rope (4) to the kite (2), the kite (2) being adapted to be driven by the module (5) in order to drag the module (5) on the rail (6; 7) and perform said conversion of wind energy into electric energy through a generating system cooperating with module (5) and rail (6; 7), the rope (4) being adapted both to transmit mechanical energy from and to said kite (2) and to control a flight trajectory of the kite (2), the generating system comprising at least one generator/motor (20) which is adapted to convert wind energy into electrical energy by means of a movement of the module (5) relative to the rail (6; 7), the module (5) being equipped with at least one trolley (11) to translate along the rail (6; 7); the trolleys (11) are adapted to translate on the rails (6; 7) by means of a monolithic rotor (42) to which the trolleys (11) are connected, the monolithic rotor (42) being operatively coupled with a plurality of magnetic sliding elements (46) capable of sliding along a magnetic rail (54) without direct contact therewith.
