Abstract
A wind power generation structure for a vertiport includes a takeoff-and-landing deck and a plurality of duct structures provided along an edge of the takeoff-and-landing deck. Each duct structure of the plurality may individually have a wind turbine and be individually rotatable in a vertical direction.
Claims19
A structure comprising:
- a takeoff-and-landing deck;
- and
- a plurality of duct structures provided along an edge of the takeoff and landing deck, wherein each duct structure, of the plurality of duct structures:
- comprises a wind turbine of a plurality of wind turbines;
- and
- is rotatable in a first direction perpendicular from a top surface of the takeoff-and-landing deck.
3 more elements
A structure comprising:
- a plurality of duct structures;
- at least one sensor;
- and
- a controller comprising at least one processor and at least one memory,
- wherein the at least one memory stores instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, are configured to cause the structure to:
- sense one or more of:
- an approach, in a vertical direction, of a mobility device to a takeoff-and-landing deck, or
- that a mobility device is ready for takeoff, in the vertical direction, from the takeoff-and-landing deck;
- identify a type of the mobility device and a position of a rotor of the mobility device;
- and
- control a position of a wind turbine of a duct structure, of the plurality of duct structures, at an edge of the takeoff-and-landing deck by controlling the duct structure to move, to a power generation position based on the position of the rotor, via one or more of:
- rotating in an upward direction, or
- moving along the edge of the takeoff-and-landing deck.
10 more elements
A method comprising:
- sensing one or more of:
- an approach, in the vertical direction, of a mobility device to a takeoff-and-landing deck, or
- that a mobility device is ready for takeoff, in the vertical direction, from the takeoff-and-landing deck;
- identifying a type of the mobility device and a position of a rotor of the mobility device;
- and
- controlling a position of a wind turbine of a duct structure at an edge of the takeoff-and-landing deck by controlling the duct structure to move, to a power generation position based on the position of the rotor, via one or more of:
- rotating in an upward direction, or
- moving along the edge of the takeoff-and-landing deck.
