Research Abstract |
Based on the Wind-lens technology, we have developed very unique and highly efficient small(1-5kW) and mid-size(100kW) windlens turbines. We have designed a mid-size windlens turbine of 100-200kW. They are fundamentally based on the small wind-lens turbine, namely, it is designed as an enlargement of small ones with similarity. We have continued the field experiment of the mid-size windlens turbine at Ito Campus, Kyushu University. The 100kW windlens turbine showed the expected power output performance and showed much less noisy turbine compared to the same size conventional turbines. Now we are continuing to establish the safe operation at severe wind of around 10. 20m/s. This 100kW windlens turbine was equipped with a mono-pole concrete tower different from a concrete tower with special SCF rods as it is expected. We have improved our numerical prediction method for wind patterns named RIAM-COMPACT, integrating the GIS and GPV. Based on this numerical wind pattern analysis, we selected an installation site in the offshore in Hakata bay. Integrated off-shore electric power generation farm means an off-shore energy farm
