  • Power generation system incorporating a vanadium redox battery and a direct current wind turbine generator
    Patent number: 7265456
    Abstract: A power generation system includes a wind turbine generator and a vanadium redox battery to compensate for fluctuations in wind power. The wind turbine generator provides DC power that may be used to charge the vanadium redox battery. Generated DC power may also be used for power distribution and, if required, supplemented by DC power from the vanadium redox battery. The power generation system interfaces with a control system to optimize performance and efficiency.
