Abstract

This study works on the efficiency analysis of a compressed air wind energy system which is composed of a windmill, a continuous variable planetary (CVP) transmission, a flywheel, a clutch, a reciprocating compressor, and an air tank. To make the system operate at its best performance, the subsystem characteristic must be fully understood. In this study, we examine three main subsystems of the wind energy system: windmill, CVP transmission and reciprocating compressor thoroughly by experiments. The characteristic of these subsystems are discovered based on the different operating conditions. The performance characteristics of these subsystems offer a reference for the operation design of compressed air wind energy system.
