METHOD OF CONTROL OF WIND-POWER PLANT AND DEVICE FOR REALIZATION OF THIS METHOD Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: wind-power engineering; wind-power plants at horizontal axis of rotation of rotor. SUBSTANCE: proposed method consists in rotation of rotor about its axis by means of movable members interacting with air flow; air flow is additionally decelerated and force of its interaction with movable members of rotor is reduced at increased rate of flow; additional deceleration force is concentrated along axis of rotor which is compared with rated force arising at rotor due to centrifugal and aerodynamic forces. Additional deceleration force is applied to each movable member simultaneously at minimum rate of flow. Respective windpower plant is provided for realization of this method. EFFECT: extended working range of wind velocities; possibility of using synchronous AC generators; increased wing power utilization factor. 11 cl, 12 dwg, 6 tbl
