DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to wind energy. namely - to the wind power unit, using the energy of high-altitude jet streams.

Known aerostatodinamicheskaya altitude setting. which comprises an aircraft cargo made as a kite, which bearing surface comprises an annular wing, the aerodynamic elements consisting of the curvature along the span, and can be of different sizes chord along the span. Along the perimeter of the ring wind turbines located behind the rear edge of the aerodynamic components and wind turbines in the horizontal plane to the aerodynamic elements and the different direction of rotation. Each wind turbine comprises a centrifugal compressor. multiplier bladed propeller and mechanically connected with one another, flow spaces communicated with each other by communicating with each subsequent output of the previous input, while the last compressor discharge outlet communicated with the inlet sleeve energy machine on the ground. (RF Patent №2064085). The disadvantage of this solution is the need to use of the balloon structure and a lack of reliability in case of failure of the system to the ground attachment. The closest to the invention is a wind turbine for high altitudes (US Patent №4659940). It comprises a bearing surface which is located along the span of the device with partitioned vetropriemnoe generators secured by means of connecting elements on the support. Wind turbine has a tethered balloon in the shape of the bearing surface with the tail. Along the bearing surface swing set partitioned vetropriemnoe device formed several close spaced multi-blade rotors with a horizontal axis of rotation. The annular rim of the rotor is rotatably mounted on roller bearings, mounted on a cantilevered bearing surface on which the twin-shaft mounted generator.

The disadvantages of this technical solution is the need for construction of the balloon, with a horizontal rotor axis of rotation, the lack of communication with Earth.

EFFECT: increased efficiency, reduction of materials improve the reliability of the installation, ensuring reliable communications with Earth.

Technical results are achieved in that the high-altitude wind energy installation. comprising carrying aerodynamic element by means of cables connected to the earth support, with placed on it along the span at obtuse angles to each other ortogopalnymi lobed rotors, an aerodynamic element formed as a frame, the nodes of which are located in the elliptical surface, ropes - as sectioned hose, section are filled with gas and connected to each other via gateways, the rotors are arranged between the frame units, and that the blades are provided with jet circulation control devices.

Furthermore, in windmill rotor blades are made with the channels for the controlled feeding of air through the holes at the blade surface in a jet circulation control around the blades, which provides the ability to control the magnitude and direction of the resultant averaged lifting force acting on the rotors and the installation and overall.

Orthogonal rotors rotate in opposite directions at the contacts between them and the shorted inductors are arranged corresponding linear core (arc) of the electric generator.

Inkjet devices rotor blades to control the local circulation increases energy production plant and, if necessary, in the absence of wind, when lifting and lowering the installation, create a lifting force, the direction and magnitude of which can be changed, allowing you to control the installation of both aircraft. rotor axis is an obtuse angle, which provides a turn in the wind system and its stable equilibrium. In case of breakage of a cable or the destruction of one of the rotors setting flips and falls to the earth, save the automatic control by radio beacons.

Compartments cable-cable, made as a hose filled with pressurized helium creates lift cable tether.

NA 3 shows a sectional rotor blade with channels.

Altitude windmill comprises a support connected to earth by means of one cable 2 carrying a hollow aerodynamic element 3 arranged therealong at obtuse angles to each other orthogonal lobed rotor 4 carrying the rotors and linear inductors (arc) generators. The aerodynamic element 3 is designed as a frame, which components are located 5 pas elliptical surface rope 2 is a sectioned hose section are filled with gas and connected to each other via gateways. The rotors 4 are arranged between the frame units on March 5, 6 and that the blades are provided with jet circulation control device 7. 6 4 rotor blades on the shaft 8 supported by cross-members 9, 10. The position adjustment holes 11, 12 to control the point of maximum lift cam shaft 13 is performed by a special system or automatically controlled valve.

INSTALLATION WORKS AS FOLLOWS

The initial lift is provided by the combined action of lift gas-filled hoses 2 and the lifting force generated by the rotor of the generator 4 in motor mode with proper operation of inkjet devices 7 control loop on the blades of the rotors 6 4. With the help of inkjet devices, for example, changing the position of the holes 11, 12 the camshaft 13 relative to the Earth, you can change the direction of the "stop" and thereby control the position of the wind turbine with respect to ground.

The torque developed by the rotors 4 at a clash of the wind flow is transmitted generators, and from there via the input energy conductive elements arranged in the hose 2, is transmitted to Earth.

Location of the axes of each pair of rotors 4 at obtuse angles to each other provides automatic reversal of the entire system of the wind and its stable equilibrium. In the event of an accident (breakage-hose cable 2) Installation of turns and goes down smoothly. save the automatic control by radio beacons from the Earth. The rotation of the rotors 4 and a smooth installation at the expense of lowering the energy accumulators located on the installation and operation of generators in the motor mode.
