Abstract
The wind power generation device includes a blade, a power distribution unit, a first generator, a second generator, a clutch unit, and a control unit. The control unit controls connection and disconnection of the clutch unit such that the clutch unit is disconnected when the wind speed input to the blade is smaller than a predetermined first wind speed value and the clutch unit is connected when the wind speed input to the blade is larger than a predetermined second wind speed value.
Claims6
A wind power generation device comprising:
- a blade;
- a power distribution unit for distributing power output from the blade;
- a first generator to which the power distributed by the power distribution unit is input;
- a second generator of which starting torque is larger than starting torque of the first generator and to which the power distributed by the power distribution unit is input;
- a clutch unit provided on a power transmission path between the power distribution unit and the second generator;
- and
- a control unit configured to control connection and disconnection of the clutch unit so as to disconnect the clutch unit when a wind speed input to the blade is smaller than a predetermined first wind speed value and connect the clutch unit when the wind speed input to the blade is larger than a predetermined second wind speed value.
