WIND POWER GENERATION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18174653 titled 'WIND POWER GENERATION DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The wind power generation device described in the patent application includes several components: a blade, a power distribution unit, a first generator, a second generator, a clutch unit, and a control unit.
- The control unit is responsible for managing the connection and disconnection of the clutch unit.
- When the wind speed input to the blade is below a certain threshold (the first wind speed value), the control unit disconnects the clutch unit.
- Conversely, when the wind speed input to the blade exceeds a predetermined value (the second wind speed value), the control unit connects the clutch unit.
- The purpose of this control mechanism is to optimize the efficiency and performance of the wind power generation device.
- By disconnecting the clutch unit during low wind speeds, the device can avoid unnecessary power generation and potential damage to the components.
- On the other hand, connecting the clutch unit during high wind speeds allows for maximum power generation and utilization of the available wind energy.
- This control system ensures that the wind power generation device operates within its optimal range, maximizing its output while protecting its components.
Original Abstract Submitted
The wind power generation device includes a blade, a power distribution unit, a first generator, a second generator, a clutch unit, and a control unit. The control unit controls connection and disconnection of the clutch unit such that the clutch unit is disconnected when the wind speed input to the blade is smaller than a predetermined first wind speed value and the clutch unit is connected when the wind speed input to the blade is larger than a predetermined second wind speed value.
