Protection from strong wind

Three different types of patented protections are available, which, when the wind speed exceeds certain speed thresholds, automatically and gradually protect the wind turbine impellers.

A single wind generator may be protected by one or more safeguards, some of which may operate in different ways and according to different principles than other safeguards for the same generator.

Wind turbines continue to produce energy at full capacity up to wind speed thresholds, beyond which safeguards automatically begin to gradually protect the impellers.

One of the three types of protection, beyond a predetermined wind speed, completely protects the wind turbine impellers from the wind.

As the wind speed decreases, the safeguards gradually decrease their protective action and, when the wind speed drops below predetermined safety thresholds, they completely cease to protect the impellers.

If the rotors are automatically and gradually protected from excessively strong winds, then they can be designed more sensitive to low winds and this means that wind turbines start producing electricity even when the wind is weak or moderate and continue to produce it even when the wind force becomes high.

Expanding the wind speed range in which a turbine produces energy allows you to significantly increase the overall amount of energy that the wind generator produces in a calendar year.
