WIND POWER GENERATOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240183339 titled 'WIND POWER GENERATOR
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a wind power generator that includes multiple motor generators and shafts connected by a power split mechanism to rotate differentially.
- Wind power generator with wind turbine
- First motor generator driven by wind turbine
- Second motor generator
- Mechanism driven by second motor generator
- Power split mechanism connecting multiple shafts
- Rotation restricting mechanism for third shaft
Potential Applications
The technology could be used in various renewable energy systems, such as wind farms or standalone wind power generators for residential or commercial use.
Problems Solved
This technology addresses the need for efficient power generation from wind energy sources by optimizing the rotation of multiple shafts to generate electricity.
Benefits
The wind power generator offers increased energy efficiency and reliability by utilizing differential rotation of shafts to maximize power generation from wind turbines.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Renewable Energy Solutions: Optimizing Wind Power Generation with Innovative Technology"
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to wind power generators with multiple motor generators and shafts connected by a power split mechanism, but specific examples are not provided in the patent application.
Unanswered Questions
How does the rotation restricting mechanism work to prohibit or restrict rotation of the third shaft?
The rotation restricting mechanism likely includes a locking mechanism or brake system to prevent unwanted rotation of the third shaft.
What are the specific mechanisms that can be driven by the second motor generator?
The patent application does not specify the exact mechanisms that can be driven by the second motor generator, leaving room for various applications and configurations.
Original Abstract Submitted
a wind power generator may include a wind turbine, a first motor generator configured to be driven by the wind turbine, a second motor generator, at least one mechanism configured to be driven by the second motor generator, a power split mechanism that couples a first shaft connected to the first motor generator, a second shaft connected to the second motor generator, and a third shaft to each other such that the first shaft, the second shaft, and the third shaft are configured to rotate differentially with respect to each other, and a rotation restricting mechanism configured to prohibit or restrict rotation of the third shaft.
