The present invention relates to motion system for a wind turbine which transforms the kinetic energy of wind primarily into mechanical energy and then into electrical energy.

In the structure of the present invention for wing turbine motion system, the working efficiency of system is increased by wind contact surface since there is a multi-blade (1) motion system having independent wings (1) instead of rotor system in order to get motion from wind.

Each of wings (1) can be arranged according to the direction of wind since the wings (1) since the wings (1) within wind turbine motion system of the present invention can make free rotation around bedding point (2). Therefore maximum benefit and energy can be obtained from the motion of the wind.

In order to arrange the structure of the present invention according to the direction of wind, it is sufficient to arrange the wings (1) merely. Thus, there is no need for electric motors the setting and operating costs of which is high in order to arrange said system according to the direction of wind.

When describing the wind turbine motion system of the present invention within description and claims part, x, y, z coordinate system is taken as reference. Y axis is extending along long edge of wing in this direction.

The term starting point described within description and claims of the present invention for wind turbine motion system indicates the impact of wind direction to wing plane with 90°C angle (0° angle with z axis) in other words indicatesthe initial state of the present invention for wind turbine motion system.

The present invention for wing turbine motion system comprises at least one actuating shaft (4) positioned vertically, at least two wing torque rod (3) positioned on said actuating shaft (4) for each wing (1) in proportion to wing number (1) and wings (1) connected to each wing torque rod (3) by means of at least one bedding point (2).Wings (1) can move freely in such a way that center point of motion will be the bedding point (2) since the above-mentioned wings (1) are fixed to the wing torque rods (3) from at least one bedding point (2).

Wings (1) can move freely in such a way that center point of motion will be the bedding point (2) since the above-mentioned wings (1) are fixed to the wing torque rods (3) from at least one bedding point (2).

Preferably, wings (1) are chosen as of rectangular shape. Wing slots (5) are positioned on each wing (1) for increasing the effect of wind on wings (1). The air particles collide with wing (1) vertically according to x, y axis when the wind crashes to wing (1) with 0° impact angle (θ) according to z axis and in this case all kinetic energy of kinetic air particles is taken by the wing (1). However, a part of kinetic air particles affecting the wing (1) surface flows over wing (1) when the impact angle (θ) of wind to wing according to z axis is a different value from 0°. Wing slots (5) prevents air going through the wing (1) easily and it provides impact effect of kinetic air particles, in other words driving power of wind, to affect more on wings (1). In addition to that, it benefits from friction effect of air particles in consequence of its productive effect. In the direction of said friction effect and power accordingly, the structures of wing slots (5) in other words the structures of small resistance surfaces positioned on wing (1) can be arranged and they can be formed in any direction and shape.

Within the present invention, the following equivalents are used in order to determine the effect of wind on wings (1). In which:

By means of above-mentioned equivalent, kinetic energy of wind is provided. For wing (1) exposed to wind motion, when impact angle (θ) of wind to wing according to z axis is 0° and when the force (F) affected on wing surface in the direction of z axis is calculated, the following equivalent comes out. When said equivalent is analyzed, it will be seen that the magnitude of force (F) affected on wing surface in the direction of z axis depends on wing area and velocity (V) of wind.

The force (F) affected on wing surface in the direction of z axis and generated on wing surface area in air current generates torque on wing actuating shaft (4) by menas of wing torque rod (3) connected to wings (1). The equivalents with respect to generated torque force are presented in the following:

Above-mentioned equivalents is valid for the case that the impact angle (θ) of wind to wing according to z axis is 0°. At first, since the wings (1) are stable in connection with system the impact angle (θ) of wind to wing according to z axis will be 0° but wings (1) start to move by means of wing actuating shaft (4) within system with the effect of first air particles crashing to the wing (1). Thereby, the receiving angle of wing (1) surface area relating to wind in air current is changed by rotating of system and consequently vertical component (F’) of the force (F) affected on wing surface in the direction of z axis and generated on wing (1) surface area in air current changes as well. Vertical component of the force (F) affected on wing surface in the direction of z, which provides the rotation motion of wing actuating shaft (4) and accordingly energy generation is (F’) within system. The equivalent regarding the vertical component of the force (F) affected on wing surface in the direction of z is given following:

As mentioned above, the force provided for necessary motion in order to allow system to produce energy is torque force and said torque force is under the effect of vertical component (F’) of the force (F) affected on wing surface in the direction of z. Also, the motion of wing actuating shaft (4) is provided by component (Fd) which makes a right angle to wing torque rod of the component (F’) of the force (F) affected on wing surface in the direction of z and affected on wing torque rod (3) basically. In this case, force equivalent of system will be as in the following:

When above-mentioned equivalents are examined, R mentioned in said equivalents in other words the length of wing torque rod (3) depends on wing surface area in air current (S), velocity of wind (V), impact angle of wing to wind according to z axis (θ) and the angle (β) that the wing (1) made according to x axis with its wing torque rod in order to obtain maximum efficiency from system. When system is setting, the length of wing torque rod (3) and wing surface area in air current can be determined according to user’s preference and velocity of wind (V) changes according to setting conditions and term of using the system. In order to increase energy efficiency of system, the value of Cos θ.Cos β which is the only arrangeable variable by user according to above-mentioned equivalents should be provided as having the maximum value. In order to keep the multiplication value of Cos θ.Cos β as high as possible, controlling of instant wing (1) positions continuously in other words the impact angle (θ) of wind to wing according to z axis and the angle (β) made by wing torque rod according to x axis should be arranged in such a way that maximum efficiency can be obtained.

Within our invention, various efforts has been made in order to maximize efficiency and hence Cos θ.Cos β value and consequently it is observed that maximum value is provided in case of θ = α/2 and
β = α/2.

With the wind crashing the wings (1), wings (1) start to rotate on wing actuating shaft (4) and hence rotation angle (α) made with starting point and wing torque rod changes by taking the starting point as reference according to instant position of each wing (1). Together with rotating wings (1) continuously, rotation angle (α) that the wing torque rod makes with starting point and changing wing torque rod should be measured by an apparatus and it should be arranged in such a way that multiplication of Cos θ.Cos β can take maximum value and wing (1) positions can take θ = α/2 and β = α/2 values in order to get maximum efficiency.

Wings (1) are inclined by using an eletronic inclining apparatus in order to make the impact angle (θ) of wind to wing (1) positions according to z axis and the angle (β) made with wing torque rod according to x axis to be suitable value of α/2. The impact angle (θ) of wind to wing (1) according to z axis and the angle (β) made with wing torque rod according to x axis plane are arranged continuously by measuring rotation angle (α) made with starting point of the wing torque rod by means of an electronical inclination system and by changing wing (1) positions. Together with motion of the system, the rotation angle (α) made with starting point and wing torque rod changes when position of each wing (1) has changed and electronic inclination apparatus arranges the impact angle (θ) of wind to wing (1) according to z axis and the angle (β) made with wing torque rod according to x axis continuously as α/2 according to these changing values.

Because of above-mentioned wing positions, electronic inclination system to be used within said system can be consisted of inclining units each of which is connected to each wing (1) seperately and also it can be used as a collective inclining unit for all wings (1) in order to arrange the impact angle (θ) of wind to wing (1) according to z axis and the angle (β) made with wing torque rod according to x axis.

The present invention for wind turbine motion system can transform mechanical energy obtained from wind power into electrical energy by means of an alternator just like in its similar kinds used in state of art. Similarly, the mechanical energy taken from wind turbine motion system can be used in stead of sail with a gear and different apparatus connected to wing actuating shaft (4) in order to provide motion in sailing ships instead of obtaining electrical energy. In this case, wind turbine motion system transfers the mechanical energy from wind directly to motion rotors and moves the vessel without need for sail or similar motion equipments.

By using the present invention for wind turbine motion system, a wind turbine motion system and also more than one coupled wind turbine motion system can be used in order to produce energy. Again, there are more than one alternator or mechanical system can be controlled by a control unit gradually and actively within the present invention for wind turbine motion system just like in wind turbines available in state of art. The control unit can control rotation speed and motions of system depending upon wind velocity and hence wind energy. Depending upon the information taken from these controls, it prevents energy loss by getting and removing of additive alternator or mechanical systems into circuit gradually and provides the designed system to work in much more unsteady weather conditions at very dominant productivity levels. Said control unit system prevents system to be damaged at high wind speed by braking or controlling the in such a way that wings (1) make a minor angle with wind and obtain less power.

The main object of the present invention for wind turbine motion system is to use such a control system which provides to generate minimum surface area by rotating wings to same direction with wind or stops the system definitely for protecting said system in maintenance periods and undesirable storm conditions as described above although it is setted in order to obtain maximum efficiency from wind energy.

This control system to be used includes different sensors of state of art and can control the information taken from these sensors, the system and the wing (1) angles by means of mechanical systems according to PC-PLC-containing analysis and the program installed depending upon this analysis. By means of contol system including system or wing (1) gear system, servomotors with chain system, hydrolic system and pneumatic system, one of many alternatives of state of art can be adapted to said designed system.

The present invention for wind turbine motion system can be used as vertical-axial while it can be used as horizontal-axial in some models. In vertical-axial usages, wing actuating shaft (4) is positioned vertically in the system. In horizontal-axial usages, wing actuating shaft (4) is positioned horizontally in the system.
