Description:
VERTICAL WIND TOWER

TECHNICAL FIELD

The invention relates to a vertical wind tower that adapts to all kinds of geographical regions and provides high electrical energy in regions with low wind energy.

In particular, the invention relates to a vertical wind tower comprising at least one conically shaped casing which collects the wind and directs it towards a narrowing pipe; at least one narrowing pipe containing a wind turbine through which the air passing through the casing passes more rapidly; and a wind turbine which enables the wind passing through the narrowing pipe to generate electrical energy.

KNOWN STATE OF THE ART

The wind turbine is a system that converts the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical energy and then into electrical energy. Wind turbine generally consists of tower, blades, rotor, gearbox, generator (alternator), electrical-electronic elements. The kinetic energy of the wind is converted into mechanical energy in the rotor. The rotation movement of the rotor shaft is accelerated and transferred to the alternator in the casing. The electrical energy obtained from the alternator is stored by means of batteries or delivered directly to the receivers. In order to understand how wind turbines work, important aerodynamic forces must be well known.

In the wind turbines used in the current technique, electricity generation stops when the wind decreases. These systems are difficult to maintain and have high operating costs. These systems can be harmful for other living organisms. It is also not resistant to heavy weather conditions. It may have an effect on military radar systems. Its cost is high. While the efficiency of the wind turbines used in the current technique reaches maximum power only at sea level at a speed of 10-12 m/s, in our invention, the desired power at a speed of 2 m/s is achieved at the desired location.

As a result, the need for a new economical, useful, practical vertical wind tower for the solution of the above-mentioned problems existing in the existing technique and the inadequacy of the existing solutions necessitated a development in the relevant technical field.

OBJECT OF INVENTION

The present invention relates to a vertical wind tower, which has been developed to eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantages and to bring new advantages to the relevant technical field.

The most important object of the invention is that there is virtually no interruption in the production of electricity. Our invention is safe and easy to maintain. It has 50% less maintenance and operating costs than classical wind turbines. It is harmless to humans, animals and flying vehicles. It is very resistant to all kinds of heavy weather conditions. Compared to wind turbines, there is much less noise and vibration. It has no effect on military radar systems. While the energy produced in thermal power plants is 82%, this system is 85% efficient. In other systems, 15% of the time is allocated to maintenance, whereas in our invention, 4% is maintenance time. The remaining 12% of the time is the restart time of the system. The cost is 45% lower than other systems. Electricity consumption cost is between 2-3 cent.

The structural and characteristic features and all advantages of the invention will be more clearly understood by means of the figures given below and the detailed description written by making references to these figures, and therefore, the evaluation should be made by taking these figures and detailed description into consideration.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In this detailed description, preferred embodiments of the vertical wind tower are described for the sake of better understanding only and without any limiting effect.

Figure 1 shows the vertical wind tower which is the subject of the invention. Our invention is actually a wind capture and distribution system. While conventional wind turbines use a turbine-generator system mounted on the tower, in our invention, wind energy is stored in ground-based generators. The wind is captured by the casing (10), which is preferably conical in shape, placed on the upper part. During this capturing process, the panels (20) are used for adjusting and trapping the wind direction. The casing (10), which catches the wind instead of grabbing it, transmits the wind to the narrowing pipe (30) of smaller diameter and thus accelerates the wind. Since the lateral pressure of the fluid travelling in the conical casing (10) will be the largest in the section where the design is widest and the velocity will be the lowest, the system will reach the power to start generating energy at 1 m/s and the maximum power will be provided at 3 m/s.

Our invention is unlimited and can be designed according to your imagination. Casings (10) that will not spoil the eye pleasure can be designed. It can provide 360 ° operation.

The air travelling at a speed of 3 m/s in the casing (10) increases in speed as it passes through the narrowing pipe (30) and due to this increase, reverse pressure is created in this region. This reverse pressure creates a vacuuming effect in the narrowing pipe (30) without spending any extra energy, resulting in liquid-gas transfer in a volume of 6m 3 /s. The wind turbine, consisting of 3 blades located in the narrowing pipe, converts the flow into energy. The wind that touches the first blade here can provide lkW, 1.7 kW when it comes to the second blade, and the maximum efficiency it can reach in the third blade, so on the last wing, 2.2 kW energy.

In our invention, the wind is caught at the top of the conical casing (10). The omnidirectional wind intake area allows wind to be collected regardless of wind direction. With the help of the panels (20), the wind intensity is provided by increasing the contact surface. The collected wind enters directly into the casing (10) so that suction occurs. With the narrowing pipe (30) the wind is concentrated and accelerated. The accelerated wind is sent directly to the wind turbines and electrical energy is obtained. With the diffuser (50), the wind returns to nature. Here, our invention is mounted on the mount (40). The scope of protection of this application has been determined in the claims section and cannot be limited to what is explained above for exemplary purposes, it is clear that a person skilled in the art can demonstrate the innovation in the invention by using similar structures and/or can apply this structure to other areas with similar purposes used in the relevant technique. Therefore, it is obvious that such structuring will lack the criteria of innovation and especially overcoming the state of the art.
