Proprietary Information Slide 2August 2007 Influence of TSR on Power Output Power in the Wind P wind = 1/2 ρ A V 3 Johnson, Gary. "Windbook.pdf.“. Dr. Gary Johnson's Renewable Energy and Tesla Coil Page 8 Mar Aug < /~gjohnson/>. Optimizing Cp Power generated = Cp x P wind – Cp is maximized when TSR is optimum – TSR is the ratio of the speed of the tip of the blade, to the speed of the wind

Proprietary Information Slide 3August 2007 Generator speed optimization Synchronous generator – Generator speed is constant – Power maximized if rotor speed varies with wind speed -TSR constant Asynchronous generator - induction – Generator speed varies a little with power output – Power maximized if rotor speed varies with wind speed - TSR constant DC generator – Generator speed variation produces voltage output change – Wide voltage changes requires wide input range inverter – Speed variation pushes generator off optimum efficiency – Power maximized if rotor speed varies with wind speed - TSR constant All Wind turbine architectures benefit from the rotor operating at optimal TSR

Proprietary Information Slide 4August 2007 NuVinci ™CVT Design CVT consists of rings and rotating balls. Operation Tilting balls changes contact diameters on each ring Resulting in output/input ratio changes Provides smooth shifting No gears involved. Allows generator speed to remain constant while rotor speed changes.
