WIND POWER GENERATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240175424 titled 'WIND POWER GENERATION SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a wind power generation system with a steel tower and a wind power generator, supported by a structure fixed to foundations without the need for the tower columns.
- The wind power generation system includes:
- Plurality of foundations
- Steel tower
- Wind power generator
- Support structure for the generator
- The steel tower has main column members fixed to foundations, with the support structure attached directly to the foundations.
- Potential Applications:
- Renewable energy generation
- Offshore wind farms
- Problems Solved:
- Simplified installation process
- Reduced material and labor costs
- Benefits:
- Increased stability and durability
- Improved efficiency in wind power generation
- Potential Commercial Applications:
- Wind energy companies
- Construction firms specializing in renewable energy projects
- Possible Prior Art:
- Traditional wind turbine systems with support structures attached to tower columns
Questions:
1. How does this wind power generation system compare to traditional systems in terms of cost and efficiency?
- Answer: This system reduces costs by simplifying installation and improves efficiency by optimizing the support structure.
2. What impact could this innovation have on the renewable energy industry in terms of scalability and sustainability?
- Answer: This innovation could lead to increased scalability of wind power projects and contribute to the sustainability of renewable energy sources.
Original Abstract Submitted
a wind power generation system including a steel tower and a wind power generator is provided. the wind power generation system may include: a plurality of foundations; a steel tower; a wind power generator; and a support structure supporting the wind power generator. the steel tower may include a plurality of main column members extending upward from base ends fixed to the foundations. at least a portion of the support structure is fixed to at least one of the plurality of foundations without intervention of the plurality of main column members.
