Wind energy storage

Wind speed is a meteorological variable that can be considered independent, in the sense that it cannot be governed by humans.

Wind energy, and to a certain extent solar energy, compared to other energy sources, therefore have the particular disadvantage that the amount of energy produced by wind generators is not constant.

Furthermore, the demand for energy, in turn, is not constant.

When renewable energy production exceeds energy demand (overgeneration), it is necessary to avoid energy waste, thus containing, albeit indirectly, energy production costs.

In the warm season, the squirrel accumulates food reserves for the winter.

The patented system for storing wind energy accumulates potential mechanical energy, deriving from the kinetic energy produced by one or more wind turbines.

The accumulated potential mechanical energy is then transformed into electrical energy when the wind is absent or weak.

The transformation of the stored energy into electrical energy can also take place while the wind generators are also producing electrical energy.

This means that the wind farm, as a whole, not only accumulates the excess energy produced at a given time, but, at other times, it copes with peaks in electricity demand, which exceed the production capacity of the wind turbines alone.

Data center operations produce unwanted heat.

The energy storage system helps cool data centers.

The storage system can be synergistically integrated into a wind building, from a structural and functional point of view.
