Abstract
A wind farm includes a plurality of wind power generation units each including a rotation axis, a hub, at least two airfoil blades, a pitch control system and a yaw control system. At least two first-direction wind power generation units are spaced apart longitudinally from each other along a prevailing energy wind direction at a predetermined interval and whose blades are rotated in a same direction. At least one second-direction wind power generation unit that is located between the first-direction wind power generation units and has blades rotating in an opposite direction to a rotational direction of the blades of the first-direction wind power generation units.
Claims13
A wind farm, comprising
- a plurality of wind power generation units, each wind power generation unit including:
- a rotation axis;
- a hub located at a first end portion of the rotation axis;
- at least two airfoil blades radially mounted on the hub;
- a pitch control system configured to adjust a pitch angle of the blades mounted on the hub;
- and
- a yaw control system configured to horizontally rotate the rotation axis to adjust a direction of the rotation axis with respect to a prevailing energy wind direction, wherein
- at least two first-direction wind power generation units are spaced apart longitudinally from each other along the prevailing energy wind direction at a predetermined interval and whose blades are rotated in a same direction, and
- at least one second-direction wind power generation unit is located between the first-direction wind power generation units and has blades rotating in an opposite direction to a rotational direction of the blades of the first-direction wind power generation units.
A wind farm, comprising:
- a first wind power generation unit having blades that rotate in a counterclockwise direction, and
- a second wind power generation unit arranged longitudinally adjacent to the first wind power generation unit in a prevailing energy wind direction, the second wind power generation unit having blades that rotate in a clockwise direction.
