Steam Turbine Upcycling

The spherical wind concentrator design creates many opportunities. One of them is the flexibility of the electric generator section. The electric generator is placed on the ground of the concentrated wind turbine. Therefore, unlike the traditional wind turbines the generator section can be bigger and heavier.

Higher power output of the concentrated wind turbines will reduce the demand for electric generated by steam powered plants, coal and nuclear. Therefore, some of these plants will be shut down. When the wind is concentrated in a special way on the concentrated wind power plants, some sections of the steam turbines can be utilized on the new plant. The turbines and the electric generators are the most expensive parts within a power plant. Upcycling these parts would reduce the wind power plants installation cost. Additionally, reduce the demolition waste of the old power plant.
