FIELD: power industry.
SUBSTANCE: conversion method and system of wind energy involves a closed circulating element located horizontally above the ground, on which at least one lifting body (6) is fixed by means of a retaining rope or a chain; at that, in the section of closed circulation trajectory (U), in which traction force directed in the circulation direction acts on lifting body (6) through the flow acting on the cross section subject to influence, distance between the circulating element and the lifting body is set to a larger value in comparison to the value in the section of closed circulation trajectory (U), in which no traction force directed in the circulation direction acts on lifting body (6) by means of the flow acting on the cross section subject to influence. Lifting body (6) during circulation relative to the flow is installed so that it undergoes the force component acting in the circulation direction even at the flow acting across instantaneous circulation direction of the circulating element and transmits the above force component through the retaining rope to circulating element (1), thus increasing the angular range of the circulation trajectory, inside which flow net energy can be used.
EFFECT: effective conversion of energy even of weak winds prevailing above the ground level.
