The Construction of the Mobile Wind Energy Plant MoWEPublished by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, St. Joseph, Michigan www.asabe.org Citation: Paper number 028049, 2002 ASAE Annual Meeting . (doi: 10.13031/2013.9245) @2002Authors: Hartwig IRPS, Dr. Keywords: Wind energy plant, wind power plant, wind energy pump, wind pump, wind heating system, mobile wind energy plant, mobile wind energy converter, permanent-magnet synchronous generator
An international first is the construction of a mobile wind energy plant with two rotors
which can be used to capture wind energy on different locations. The rotational energy which is
produced by the two three bladed rotors leads on to two positions to a shaft for PTO (power
take off) use, similar to the three point hydraulic hitch on modern tractors. Aggregates as for
example, a mechanical water pump, an electric generator for stand alone or with grid
connection, an air-compressor for energy storage or other suitable equipment. The first
MoWEC-prototype has been used in a test period in the German Federal Agricultural Research
Center (FAL) in Braunschweig since the beginning of 2002. Another aim of the project is to use
normal agricultural equipment for the transformation of wind energy into usable energy (PTO
generator, PTO water pump, PTO air compressor, ...).
