ABSTRACT:
A wind energy conversion system for converting wind energy into controlled wind turbine torque comprising a wind turbine with an essentially horizontally disposed shaft, a means, rotatably mounted to a chassis, for sensing and reacting to wind turbine torque such that reaction torque acting on the means causes angular displacement of the means, a driven machine drivenly connected to the shaft of the wind turbine, and a means for adjusting wind turbine efficiency which is drivenly connected to the first mentioned means in such a way as to prevent continual angular speed thereof. Angular displacement of the first mentioned means provides the power for the last mentioned means to adjust wind turbine efficiency. Because the system can be designed so as to provide a substantially constant torque to the driven machine over a significant range of wind speeds, the system is particularly useful for generating electrical power suitable for transfer to an alternating current power network of an electrical utility company.
