Change Wind Power Station: Wind and Sun to Driving Power
The US company Change Wind Power has developed an electric car charging station that can simultaneously supply fresh energy to up to six electric vehicles by intelligently utilizing wind and solar energy. The centerpiece of this technology is the 25-meter-high "Solar & Wind Tower" (WST). The tower, with a footprint of two square meters, is equipped with cleverly arranged blades that capture wind from all directions. A propeller with a vertical axis drives a generator that reliably produces electricity. Even in extreme weather conditions, including storms, energy production remains stable, according to the provider. This is ensured by a special multi-stage gearbox that keeps the rotor's speed within a safe range.
Wind energy is combined with a round solar platform over the wings of the tower. This coupling of wind and solar energy is expected to enable an annual production of 234,154 kilowatt-hours, enough energy to travel a distance of 1.3 million kilometers or supply 9,400 electric vehicles. Through optimizations such as the magnetic bearing of the rotor hub and a self-cleaning mechanism for the solar cells, the efficiency of the system has been further increased. What makes the technology particularly interesting for users is its autonomy. The WST does not require a grid connection and can be operated autonomously. This independence is crucial to support the increasing electrification in the transport sector while relieving the public power grid, according to the provider.
