In Europe,the windmi11 era dawned in the seventh century. As recently as 1945 there were stil) 30,000 windmills in use in northern Germany and 9,000 more in Holland. However, primitive mechanical design limited utilization to a pitiful Fraction of the total available wind energy Windmil1s became unprofitable and were replaced by steam engines, hydroelectric and thermal power plants as well as combustion engines. Not until the energy crisis in the seventies with its concomitant nigh oi] and gas prices and the advent of greater environmental consciousness did the utilization of wind energy regain interest as an economical source of energy. Aeronautic technologies tried and tested over the course of decades revived interest in windmills at MAB as well. Today, the Monopteros and Aeolus wind-energy convertors, which’ generate from 15 to 3,000 kW of electricity, uti- lize wind energy one hundred percent more effectively ‘than the windmil1s of ancient times. MBB's Energy and Process Technology Group has now developed a family of wind energy convertors suitable for a wide range of applications and wind velocities. These convertors are intended both to supply energy in isolated locations and to feed electricity directly into the public utilities! grid. MONOPTEROS 15, the smallest wind-energy convertor of the BB family, provides a stand-alone energy supply. It is especially suitable for supplying power to low- consumption users in unelectrified areas such as desa~ Vinization plants, punp stations, transmitting and relay stations, or small settlements. To ensure uninterrupted Power even in windless periods, this convertor can be operated in conjunction with a diesel engine. With wind velocity averaging 6.3 meters per second, the Monop- teros 15 generates 80 megawatt-hours per year.MEE Public Relatons Presse Putzbrunn juli 1987 MONOPTEROS 30 is designed to Feed energy into the grid, and 5 thus suitable For paralell operation, for suoply- ing high-consumption users or for combination with sev- eral more convertors in a wind park. Monopteros 30 is be- ing designed and developed in cooperation with tne Ita- Tian company Riva Calzoni. NONOPTEROS 50 numbers among the new generation of wind- energy convertors. It was derived from the Monopteros 400 research project sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Re- search and Technology and set up in Bremerhaven. The first pilot plant will be erected in the Jade Wind Park, Wilhelmshaven, in 1988. This mono-blade convertor is used exclusively to feed energy into the utility companies’ grid. Its yearly output is in the neighborhood of 2,000 megawatt -hours at an average wind velocity of 7.8 meters per second, which corresponds to the electrical consumption of approx. 650 households. AEOLUS is one of the largest wind-power plants in the world and was developed with the objective of feeding large amounts of energy into the utility grid. It differs from its smaller brothers in having two blades. Aeolus was erected on the Swedish island of Gotland in 1983 and has in the meantime operated For more than 7,000 hours. This project was a joint development by the Swedish company KAMEWA and MBB under a contract from the Swedish government. The yearly energy output amounts to six Gigawatt-hours at an average wind velocity of 8.4 meters per second. ‘This succesfull power plant was the basis for the present German-Swedish development of the Aeolus II with a3 to 4 megawatt-hour range.

Sun constantly radiates enor ‘mous amounts af energy onto the earth: One hour of July sun- shine in the Federal Republic of Germany corresponds tothe same amount of energy we consume ina whole yearn our country! Weare not even na position to say that our coun- tuy's geographical settingis, ‘one particularly favored by the ther paris of the word, and mestiy those with a poor economy, are supplied with up to double tha ammount of energy per square meter by the sun. It we can manage to eticiently transiorm these natural re- sources into exploitable ener- gy, then we can kil Wo birds with one stone: The fossilener- ‘ay resources willbe spared as well as the national economy of those counties richly blessed by the sun. The aim of solar-thermal ener gy technology is theretore the economic utilization and stor- age of solarenergy. For ya's, we at MBB havebeen working vigorously cn the development, testing and optimization of so- lar-thermal anergy systems. This workhas paid off: We offer paraboboid soar collectors ~ as incividual units and as com- plete solar farms. We build hliostate with electronic sun- lracker systems ard the pert- Rent machinery. We provide spacial computer pragrams for tho optimization of complete helostat felds, and we partic pate largely in the desion and instalation of complete solar~ thermal systems, ie. heating and cooling of whcleresiden- tial areas, and power stations upto20 Mv Ik goes without saying that our know-how concerning satelite construction is the basis of our \work in the sofar.thermal phere. The challenge of cop- Ing with extremely high strains onlarge-surfacestuctures in space has taught us to also design, calculate and produce equioment which can endure high thermal stress cn earth, This experienceis supported by our detailed knowledge in engine construction, wnere, for years, ive have been success- fully solving problems arising in Conjunction with Figh tompere: tues and structural dynamics, Which solar technical concepts are spplied where depends on geogrephiical cimatic cond tions and on the intended use. Ofcourse. another important factor is whothor electrical energy alore required or whether heat, or cole, or both should be additionally pro- duced. We have developed two ditfe- rent technical versions of basic cempenents, which are tho ‘deal answer to allrequire- ments ~ the collector system and the heliosta! system. Both were tested in a series of ax- periments extending over the course of many years, and both are now available for use in diffrent arders of mag- nitude,‘Solar Farm Concept. “The Solar Farmie tho proven conceptinall those countries with sufficient solar radiation where decentralized eneray supalis are to be established: for nstance, for smal cities andvilages hn areas with a ‘weak infrastructure.

These stations are {genuine alternatives to photc~ voltaics plants, for they yield vory high spectiic outputs. The complete generating set is placed as a block atthe very focal pontofits parabolic mirror, Monoparabolic plants are programmed to automati- cally follow the course o! the sun, ‘Such solar power stations are particulary suitable as power ‘generators for remote settie~ ‘ments, farms and the tke. They fare usad for oporating pump.

MBB provides monoparabolc power stations which generate ‘up to 100 kW. ‘The Solar Tower Concept. Ifthe power generated by solar power stations enters the megawatt range, considerably higher capacities up to 100 MW can be obtained with the tower power stations of the ‘Solar Tower Concept. Thepre- requisites thereby exist of us- ing solar energy to a degree which, up until now, has novor been accomplished! ‘The Solar Tower Cancept con- sits of fat-surfacoroesting Imierors which, computer-syn= chronzzed with the course of thesun, concentrate the solar energy onto the top of a tower. The heat so generated pro- duces sieam which dives turbine. The electric power so produced is fed into the grid. ‘The solar power station Eurelios has been in operation in Sicly since 1980. We del- vered 112 holiostats, which form part ofthe reflector fold of this 1 MW project. Each of these tlat-surface reflecting mirrors has a surtace area ot 23 m®, combines 16 reflect- ing elements, each of 1.20 120m, which can be positioned with the utmost pre- ‘sion. Depencing on the posi tion of these reflecting units in the rellester fie, their position in relation to the sun is recalcu- lated every s2cond byarmicro- processor, and exactly syn- Cchronized with the course of the sun bymeans of ser- vomotors. A maximum reflac- tion of salar energy to tha top of the tower s thereby always queranteed. In thomoantims efficiency of te solar power stations is con- siderably increased using new gas turbo-generators and ‘ceramic matarialsat the tower top. These now technologies have, since 1981, been tested under actual operating condi- tiors near to Almeria in Spain ‘The Soler tower concept for solar power stations can etfec- tivaly supplement existing ‘energy supplies in creas ‘privileged by the sun. can be used for balancing peakloads and supplying remote areas with energy as an independent power supply system.

However, the awareness that reserves of coal, oil and natural gas will ono day bo ox- hausted, and the fact that they are becoming more and more expensive, make the use of wind energy, as an alternative source of energy, once egain attractive. ‘As an aerospace company, MBB possesses the ideal pre- requisites for the technical anc. economical development of ‘optimal wind energy systems: {or example, as one o! the ‘wotld's leading producers of themost modem helicopters wapessess enormous know- how in the rotary wing sector. ‘iether the goallis toproduce: maximal artiow by achieving rotary wing rotation with the least possiblo input of onorgy oF to gain maximal energy from rotation caused by minimal air currents, success in ether ‘case requires mastery of the letest aerodynamic and pro. duction engineering tecn- nologes.
