摘要：A system and method for fluid power conversion is described which can providethe basis for a new and improved wind turbine suitable to manufacture a horizontal axis(HAWT) or vertical axis (VAWT) turbine at one of a range of different power classes suchas from 4 kiloWatts to 10 MegaWatts. In the case of the VAWT, the wind turbine
comprises one or more turbine blades moving around a vertical axis wherein each blade isanchored to a central hub by at least one strut and by at least two cable wires. In thecase of the HAWT, the wind turbine comprises two or more turbine blades movingaround a horizontal axis wherein each blade is anchored to a central hub. The turbinecentral hub comprises a relatively large diameter, which is coupled to a power generationsupport structure via a plurality of roller bearings or the like. As the central hub turns, itdrives the roller bearings, which are each coupled with a separate power generationcomponent such as an electric generator or a hydraulic gearpump. This configuration of alarge diameter central hub coupled to multiple electrical power generators and orgearpumps wherein each power generation component of the system is controlled by anintelligent central system controller, provides versatile control of the net output powergenerated by the turbine and thereby maximizes the efficiency of the turbine over arange of wind speeds. The electric generators and or hydraulic gearpumps may togethercomprise a range of power conversion ratings to further optimise and control the poweroutput of the wind turbine over a range of wind speeds.
