Abstract:
1. A power generating system for generating electricity from kinetic energy of a wind flow, the power generating system comprising: a turbine assembly comprising: a generator assembly comprising: wherein physical and geometrical configurations of the components are selected according to particular conditions of the wind flow for operating the system in a nominal working range so to maximize generation of electricity from the system; wherein the stator of the generator assembly is internal to the rotor of the generator assembly, the rotor being external with respect to the stator; wherein the system comprises a main brake assembly operatively connected between the turbine assembly and the generator assembly for braking a rotation of the operative shaft, the main brake assembly being an electro-mechanical brake assembly, and being lodged within the generator assembly; and wherein the main brake assembly comprises a brake subassembly and an electro-magnet subassembly.
