Title: Wind turbine with tip mounted gas turbine engines
Inventor: THOMAS GERAINT WYNNE
IPC: F02K5/00
Filed: 2010-01-04
Abstract: A horizontal axis wind turbine where jet engines are attached to the blade tips to generate power at times when no wind is blowing and augment the power generated at times when the wind is blowing at levels lower than the turbine rated wind speed, removing the need for backup generators or storage and allowing the electrical equipment incorporated in the wind turbine to be utilised at higher load factors. Simplified jet engines are incorporated which do not require a turbine section. Instead, the rotational power required to drive the compressor is obtained by smaller fan like turbine blades positioned externally and to the rear of the jet engine and driving the compressor, either by direct attachment, or via a gearbox. The fan like turbine blades extract energy from the airflow due to the motion of the engine about the circumference of the wind turbine swept area and from the vortices generated about the tip of the wind turbine blades.
