Abstract
The invention relates to an airborne wind energy system with a substantial, integrated safety and security architecture which, in emergency situations (crash scenario), controls the wind energy system as a whole or the installed individual components and safely brings same directly back to the ground station, which takes into consideration a controllable kite construction for high wind layers in order to synergistically and substantially increase the lift force, which is normally generated solely by the gas-filled airship (climbing balloon or zeppelin), in order to maximize the generation of power with the aid of the wind converter while simultaneously ensuring the necessary stability of the entire system in the air.
Claims24
Wind turbine (WKA), comprising:
- a base station (1),
- a tether (24),
- a wind converter (WK) and
- an airship (LU);
- wherein the airship (LU) is connected to a base plate (10) of the ground station (1) via the tether (24);
- wherein the wind converter (WK) has a rotor (30) and a generator (31) connected to the rotor (30);
- wherein the airship (LU) has a flight-initiation apparatus, and wherein the wind converter (WK) is arranged on the holding cable (24) in the region between the base plate (10) and the airship (LU), preferably below the airship (LU), characterized in that the wind turbine (WKA) further comprises a safety and securing device which is integrated in the region starting from the base plate (10) up to the airship (LU).
