FIELD: power industry.
SUBSTANCE: wind system (1) for power conversion comprises at least one kite (2); at least one module (5) moving on at least one rail (6, 7) located close to the ground. The module (5) is connected by at least one rope (4) with the kite (2), the kite (2) is driven by the module (5) to tow the module (5) on the rail (6, 7) and to convert wind energy into electrical energy by means of at least one generating system that interacts with the module (5) and the rail (6, 7). The rope (4) is capable to transmit mechanical energy from and to the kite (2) and to control flight path of the kite (2). The generating system comprises at least one generator (20) that converts wind energy into electrical energy by the movement of the module (5) relative to the rail (6, 7). The module (5) is provided with at least one trolley (11) to move along the rail (6, 7). The trolleys (11) moves on rails (6, 7) by inserting a monolithic rotor (42) to which the trolleys (11) are connected. The monolithic rotor (42) is operatively connected to a plurality of sliding magnetic elements (46) designed to slide along a magnetic rail (54) without direct contact with it. Each sliding magnetic element (46) is connected with the monolithic rotor (42) by a connector (49) and adaptive suspensions (47). The rotor (42), the adaptive suspensions (47) and the sliding magnetic elements (46) move on a magnetic rail (54). For power transmitting and receiving to and from the said rotor (42) a linear stator (45) is used. The system comprises at least one magnetic strip for passive magnetic levitation and power generation, directed either along the direction of motion of the trolleys (11) or perpendicularly to the direction of motion of the trolleys (11).
EFFECT: maximum use of wind energy to generate electricity.
