Abstract

See full text

A wind energy generating and storage system has an off-shore direct compression windmill station. Direct compression is direct rotational motion of a shaft or a rotor coupled to one or more compressors. A storage device is coupled to the windmill station. At least a first toroidal intersecting vane compressor is coupled to the storage device to compress or liquefy air. The compressor has a fluid intake opening and a fluid exhaust opening. The compressor operates at a pressure of 10 to 100 atmospheres at the fluid exhaust opening. Rotation of a turbine drives the compressor. At least one expander is configured to release compressed or liquid air from the storage device. A generator is configured to convert the compressed or liquid air energy into electrical energy.
