VERTICAL WIND TURBINE WITH SONIC GENERATOR
Journal Title: ISB-INMA TEH AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL ENGINEERING - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 8
Abstract
Wind energy seems to be by now one of the most promising source of renewable energy with near zero air pollution. To convert wind energy into electrical or mechanical energy, two types of wind turbines operate mainly in the market: the Horizontal-Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT) and Vertical-Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT). This article presents the results of the researches on the special type of the VAWT namely the truncated Darrieus turbine (named Dermond wind turbine) and also one new type of transmission and transformation of the energy by the way of sonic network. The motivation of this innovative wind turbine comes from some specifications like the adaptation to mountain, northern environments and remote areas, easy installation and maintenance, very simple and reliable mechanics, the fact that this turbine is always oriented toward the wind. The prototype of a 100 kW Dermond wind turbine was installed on the experimental Donald Murphy Center, the property of the University of Québec in Abitibi-Témiscamingue in Rouyn-Noranda, Canada. The story of this adventure and the main conclusions will be reported. The other points of the paper deals with the sonicisation of the prototype of Dermond wind turbine. Sonicisation, like electrification, means the utilisation of the sonic network for the transformation and transportation of the mechanical energy by stress waves in the fluid tubes. The ideas originate in the n who introduces the concept of sonics in the beginning of the twentieth century. A dynamic model of the sonic split transmission will be presented and commented.
