Abstract: High efficiency levels may be attained by wind turbines operating at varying speeds when the machine is made to run at a constant tip speed ratio. Previous papers have suggested incorporating a continuously variable transmission (c.v.t.) to achieve this purpose. Following the general recommendation of using efficient, reliable and economical technologies in wind power systems, one of these papers investigated whether a V-belt c.v.t. with automatically adjustable speed was compatible with a wind power system. The investigations in this case were carried out under steady-state conditions.
