Title:
ELECTRIC POWER GENERATION SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004079185
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An electric generating system (10) configured to use the force of wind to drive at least one wind pump (12) that pumps fluid in a hydraulic system (21) for driving a hydroelectric generator (71). The wind pump (12) has a blade assembly (114) with blade boundary characteristic and pitch controls (306). The wind pump (12) includes an inductive power supply. A standby-pump (194) provides pressurized fluid in the hydraulic system (21) when the wind is insufficient to power the system (10). An efficient and adaptable control system is employed, enabling the generating system to reliably provide power to an electric grid.
