Energy conversion system for converting wind energy into electrical energy

An energy conversion system for converting wind energy into electrical energy, comprising:

• at least one rotor having a horizontal rotational axis, comprising a plurality of rotor blades extending radially with respect to the rotational axis;
• a rotor mantle which fully surrounds the at least one rotor;
• a plurality of wind funnels, including a first wind funnel being arranged upstream of the rotor mantle and tapering towards the rotor mantle, and a second wind funnel being arranged downstream of the rotor mantle and widening in the direction leading away from the rotor mantle;
• and
• a fixed frame which supports the rotor mantle and/or the plurality of wind funnels,
• wherein:
• at least one adjustment device is arranged and configured to orient the energy conversion system in a position corresponding to a prevailing wind direction,
• the frame supports the plurality of wind funnels stationary,
• the at least one adjustment device comprises the rotor mantle, which is movable together with the at least one rotor relative to the frame between a first position in which the first wind funnel is arranged upstream of the rotor mantle, and a second position in which another wind funnel is arranged upstream of the rotor mantle,
• the at least one adjustment device comprises a spherical rotating body which supports the rotor mantle, the rotating body being pivotable about a vertical pivot axis relative to the frame,
• the frame comprises a housing, an inner face of the housing forming the rotor mantle, and at least one outer side of the housing forming at least one wind funnel, and
• the housing has a polyhedral or pyramidal basic shape.
