  • Patent number: 8303256
    Abstract: A blade pitch driving apparatus of a wind-driven generator and a driving method therefor are adapted to receive an external electrical power and impel a blade toward a corresponding pitch angle according to a pitch command. The apparatus includes an UPS, a permanent magnet synchronous motor drive (PMSM drive), an AC pitch motor (ACPM) and a hub controller. The hub controller normally switches the external power to the PMSM drive, receives the pitch command and control the ACPM to impel the blade toward the corresponding pitch angle. When the PMSM drive fails or the external electrical power is interrupted, the hub controller switches the electrical power of the UPS to the ACPM and controls the blade being impelled toward a feathered position.

  • Patent number: 7982329
    Abstract: A vertical axis wind generator structure includes a tower, a windmill assembly, a bearing assembly, a lubrication assembly, and a generator. The windmill assembly is installed on the bearing assembly. The windmill assembly and the bearing assembly are rotatably sleeved on a shaft lever of the tower. The bearing assembly provides for thermal expansion compensation and axial and radial loading. The lubrication assembly supplies lubricating oil based on the operating conditions of the windmill assembly so as to prolong the lifespan and improve the electricity generation effect of the wind generator.
