WIND POWER GENERATING SYSTEM USING AIR-STAYING KITE-TYPE STRUCTURE

To stably supply power so as to satisfy a power requirement of power receiving equipment, in a power generation system for converting wind power energy received by a kite-type flying body which stays in the air to electric power.SOLUTION: In this system, each of power generation devices installed in different places includes: a kite-type flying body staying in the air; a generator installed on the ground; and a tither for operationally connecting both the flying body and the generator. The tither which is towed at the ascending of the kite-type flying body rotates a rotor of the generator, and generates power. When the suppliable power of one power generation device satisfies target power required by power receiving equipment, power supply control means controls power supply so that the power is supplied to the power receiving equipment from the power generating device, and when the target power of the power receiving equipment exceeds the suppliable power of one power generation device, the power supply control means further controls the power supply so that power from the other power generation device is supplied to the power receiving equipment.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 【課題】 上空に滞空させた凧型飛行体が受ける風力エネルギーを電力に変換する発電システムに於いて、電力受容設備の電力需要が満たされるように安定的に電力を供給できるようにすること。【解決手段】 本発明のシステムでは、別々の場所にて設置された発電装置が上空に滞空する凧型飛行体、地上に設置される発電機及び両者を作動的に連結するテザーを含み、凧型飛行体の上昇時に牽引されるテザーが発電機の回転子を回転して発電し、電力供給制御手段が、一つの発電装置の供給可能電力が電力受容設備の要求する目標電力を満たすときは、その発電装置から電力受容設備へ電力を供給し、電力受容設備の目標電力が一つの発電装置の供給可能電力を超えるときには、更に、別の発電装置からの電力が電力受容設備へ供給されるように電力供給を制御する。【選択図】図５
