  • Publication number: 20110076154
    Abstract: A support for a large vertical axis wind turbine including a tower frame, a platform, a vertical central axis, and a vertical axis windmill including a plurality of blades and supporting arms. The platform is disposed on the tower frame for installing and fixing a generator. The vertical central axis and the vertical axis windmill are supported by the tower frame. The tower frame is a truss structure and includes at least three sub-tower frames which are in parallel with each other and form a regular polygon from top view. The sub-tower frames are a hollow truss structure. The ratio of a diameter of the vertical axis windmill to a distance between two adjacent sub-tower frames is between 2.5 and 6. The ratio of the diameter of the vertical axis windmill to a height of the tower frame is between 3 and 0.5.

  • Publication number: 20090196753
    Abstract: A blade support limb structure of vertical axis wind power generator includes a fixed support limb (1) and a rotatable support limb (2), one end (21) of the rotatable support limb is connected with one end (22) of the fixed support limb and the rotatable support limb may rotate around it. The structure keeps a wind wheel at stable rotation speed in the case of environmental wind speed exceeds rated wind speed, thereby to ensure that vertical axis wind power generator outputs constant power. The structure solves a problem of constant power output of vertical axis wind power generator from hundreds watt to thousands watt, so its applications are wide.
