Abstract:
1. Turbine driving a power conversion means, the power conversion means comprising several and preferably more than three power conversion units, of approximately similar power conversion capacity, each power conversion unit has coupling means for coupling the power conversion units to the turbine, the turbine having measuring means for determining the rotation speed of the turbine and/or a flow speed of the turbine driving flow of wind or water and a control system for controlling the coupling means in dependence of the determined rotation speed and/or flow speed characterized in that the control system has means for activating and deactivating the coupling means so that the power conversion units are used equally and disabled power control units remain switched off, wherein the power conversion units each comprise a compressor with a compression chamber ( 55 ) at one side limited by a piston ( 17 ; 54 ) and drive means ( 12 , 14 , 16 ) for moving the piston reciprocatingly in the compression chamber between a top dead centre position (TDC) and a bottom dead centre position (BDC), and the coupling means ( 11 ; 15 ) couple and decouple the rotation of the turbine and the reciprocating movement of one or more pistons ( 17 ; 54 ).
