Patent

CA 2696226

A wind turbine system includes a kite positioned upstream to a turbine to direct wind to the turbine, thereby increasing revolutions per minutes and power output of the turbine. Embodiments of the invention increase the wind turbine power output by increasing the volume of airflow directed at a turbine impellor. For new turbine construction, embodiments also allow for a lower placement of the turbine by scooping and directing air stream to the lower placed turbine. The advantage of a lower placed turbine is the cost difference between the support structure for wind turbine and that for the wind kite, estimated to be in favor of a wind kite support structure.
